I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: we are hardwired for connection, and connecting requires courage, vulnerability, and conversation. I want this to be a podcast that’s real, unpolished, honest, and reflects both the magic and the messiness of what it means to be human. Episodes will include conversations with the people who are teaching me, challenging me, confusing me, ...

It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

The One Where I Talk To Author & Academic, Caroline Magennis

In this week’s episode, I’m talking to the fabulous Caroline Magennis.
Caroline is an Associate Professor in Contemporary Literature at the University of Salford. She’s also an author, and her brand new book from Icon Books, which came out in May, is called Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women.
She lives in north-west England and is happily childfree.
Topics that Caroline & I cover are:
- how it never really occurred to Caroline to have children;
- how for many people, it’s a feeling rather than a decision, to not have kids;
- how much women’s experience of the stigma varies according to their cultural and socio-economic backgrounds;
- how people used to tell Caroline that she would change her mind about having kids;
- how the people who ask the most prying questions tend to not have very much going on in their own lives;
- why Caroline used the word ‘Harpy’ in the title of her book;
- the cultural messaging around childless women that motivated Caroline to write the book;
- the older women Caroline interviewed who didn’t regret not having kids, and who had led wonderful lives;
- why Caroline wanted to look into the nuance of childless women’s experiences;
- how almost all of Caroline’s interviewees spoke to the freedom of not having children;
- how there is a pressure on childless women to ‘do something amazing’, in order to justify their existence;
- why loneliness isn’t just reserved for single, childfree women;
- the different ways women without kids describe themselves;
- why being childfree is the least interesting thing about us!
- how Caroline’s Irish upbringing affected her experience of not having children.
