Childfree Life by Design
Childfree Life by Design is a podcast for people who are Childfree or permanently childless and thinking seriously about money, legacy, and what comes next. It tackles financial planning, estate planning, and life decisions for adults building a future without children and without a default script to follow.
Hosted by experts in financial and life planning, the show cuts through outdated assumptions about family, retirement, and aging. Conversations focus on utilizing wealth, solo aging, long-term care, relationships, and how to plan with clarity when you don’t have kids.
This isn’t about justifying your choices or debating labels. It’s about practical guidance for planning life without children making smart financial decisions, defining legacy on your own terms, and building support systems that actually work.
If you’re Childfree, childless, or planning without kids and want thoughtful, trusted education, this is where those conversations happen.

Finding your people as a childfree adult isn’t always easy—and the bigger the city, the harder it can be.

They dive into what it really means to create meaningful community when your lifestyle doesn’t revolve around parenting.
You’ll hear:
- Why childfree friendships take extra effort—but are worth it
- The power of in-person gatherings over online connections
- What “childfree” really means (hint: it’s more than a label)
