Catholic Mother vs DINK (Dual Income No-Kids) DEBATE: They’re Lying To You About Motherhood! *EMOTIONAL* DEBATE
Description
I can’t believe season 3 is finally here!! And for the first episode I have two incredible guests debating the rise of the Dual Income No Kids Lifestyle and why so many women are opting out of motherhood.
Is the choice to be child-free just a matter of individual freedom — or does this message also have a larger societal impact?
In this episode, Lila Rose, a Catholic mother and founder of Live Action, the largest pro-life organization in the world, and Erika Abdelatif, co-host of The Dinky Podcast and advocate for the DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) lifestyle, debate choosing motherhood vs the DINK lifestyle.
Together they tackle one of today’s most personal and polarizing questions: Is motherhood is ideal for most woman?
We discuss the modern crossroads between motherhood and the choice to remain child-free — exploring how culture and cost of living shape those decisions, and whether it’s changing our sense of purpose. From biological instincts and cultural pressures to career ambitions, the sexual revolution, and the fear of future regret, this raw conversation dives deep on how that decision is shaping our happiness, purpose, and broader society.
I hope you love today’s episode. Thank you Lila and Erika for braving this topic with one another.
