For many women, a childfree life isn’t a choice. According to the CDC, nearly 20% of women are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying. The inability to have a child affects 6.7 million women in the U.S. — about 11% of the reproductive-age population. That’s why today, we’re talking about those who are childless — rather than childfree — from the struggle to get pregnant to how to overcome the grief process.  In this episode, we’re joined by content creator Tiffany J. Marie to hear about her journey with infertility. Tiffany lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband Phil and their two cats, Audrey and Luna. Her writing can be found on Instagram and Medium. Her online community is a place that strives to create a positive atmosphere for childfree and childless people to connect and engage.
