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Hosted by experts in financial and life planning, the show cuts through outdated assumptions about family, retirement, and aging.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.

Exploring Financial Independence and Lifestyle Design with Jess from The Fioneers
In this episode of the Childfree Wealth® Podcast, Dr. Jay welcomes a remarkable guest, Jess, who, along with her husband Corey, is a driving force behind The Fioneers. Jess brings an eclectic mix of expertise in lifestyle design, van life, and financial independence. She shares her journey toward financial independence and how she and her partner have designed a life that is as remarkable as the physical destinations they visit. They delve into the balance between money, life, and the unique challenges and opportunities of the childfree lifestyle.
Broadcasting from her van in Lake Tahoe, Jess provides insights into the origin of her mantra, making the journey as remarkable as the destination, and the importance of taking significant time off work to recover and form a new mindset. The discussion covers the nuances of workplace dynamics, the need for flexible jobs, and strategies to achieve a win-win scenario in personal and professional life.
Jess also discusses her work as a lifestyle design coach, explaining how she helps people identify the elements of their ideal life through a three-stage process. This includes defining the “what”, “why”, and “how” of their goals and conducting beta tests to build confidence and gather information. The episode also touches on the challenges of avoiding burnout, the importance of sharing stories to inspire others, and the ever-changing nature of life and work.
