Cici Coleman is amazing at many things — she's the nation's favourite waitress, the co-host of First Dates: the Podcast, and a brilliant fitness and life coach. But, one thing Cici isn’t very good at is making decisions. And there's one decision that plagues her more than any other — whether or not to have children.  So, for this episode, I’ve beckoned her into my podcast studio to respond to a dilemma from a woman who is child-free by choice and is struggling with feeling like she has to explain her decision to others.  With the help of Zoë Noble — the founder of We Are Childfree — Cici and I delve into a discussion about being childfree. We consider the childfree choice, how best to communicate our decisions about parenthood to others, and offer advice to listeners about how to engage with childfree women.  You can listen to all new First Dates: The podcast, co-hosted by the wonderful Cici, via this link. And, you can find out more about Zoë Noble's We Are Childfree photography series here.  … Have questions about sex? Divorce? Motherhood? Menopause? Mental health?
