    Unselfish and Christlike with Claire Parker
    "I'd love to be considered unselfish and Christlike, but as a woman it's nearly impossible." - Jen Kirkman Comedian Claire Parker joins Auntie Julia to talk about Jen Kirkman's, "I Can Barely Take Care of Myself." Jen's book really touches on all of the cliches childfree people hear all the time in a funny and at times poignant way. She's a great storyteller and very assured in her choice.

    The Rest is Still Unwritten with Rachel Carter

    Auntie Julia is joined by author Rachel Carter to discuss mastering your own story and keeping an open mind as you piece together your life. She shares her thoughts on dating and finding a partner in her 30s but not defining her life's success by her relationship status. As a creator, she values her free time which plays a part of why she hasn't yet decided if she wants to have kids. They also discuss the importance of the desire to have kids and how that should be a larger part of the decision to become a parent. You should want them if you're going to have them! And if you don't know, you should take the time to figure that out. As Rachel says, "Just because something is hard, doesn't mean you have to tackle it."

    ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES

    Auntie Julia recorded an amazing episode with comedian and host of "Dear Nana: Advice from and Idiot" and repeat NTM guest Irene Morales BUT it got DESTROYED somehow. She made a mini ep to try to make up for it but then got a cold out of nowhere. Not her night. She powered through to give some thoughts on all the anti-choice nonsense happening in the states right now. Sorry but we have no need for "pro life progressives." If you don't stand up for the rights of people who can get pregnant, you don't understand how to fight for progress. If you're able, please give to The Yellowhammer Fund which funds abortions in Alabama.

    Next week a full ep will be up but she's happy to connect in this mini version as well. Thank you for listening!
