What if feeling complete with what you've created confirms it's the right time to step away?
In this solo episode, Emily Paulsen announces that Curious Life of a Childfree Woman is going on a break. After 75 weeks straight without missing a beat, 67 guests, an in-person event, and consistently reaching 40,000 women, Emily shares why she's stepping away and what comes next. She reflects on the deep conditioning of sticking with something once you start it and keeping it exactly as it was, even when it no longer serves you. Emily explains how the podcast accomplished what she set out to do: create a space to explore curiosity exclusively from a childfree perspective, covering everything from fashion to finance, sustainability to the Salem Witch Trials, and unconventional choices like intentional singleness and tiny house living.
Emily shares that she feels complete with this format and has been craving clarity on what the next chapter looks like for serving the childfree community. Research suggests that 45% of women aged 25 to 44 will be single and childfree by 2030, yet we're still underserved and underrepresented in media. This is not the end of Curious Life of a Childfree Woman, just a pause to find the flavor and format that will be most valuable. All episodes remain available on podcast platforms, and the Instagram account stays active for connection.
