I wanted to take a moment and talk to y’all about my childfree vasectomy journey and what that procedure was like. After 5 years of marriage, I decided in 2017 to go get the vasectomy done. I would have done it sooner, but my wife Gina was used to birth control pills and how it helped her in other areas… but as we got older, I knew it would be better for me to take that burden off her with a vasectomy.

International Childfree Day is all about celebrating childfree people, so my wife Zoe Noble and I are beyond excited to see Dolly Parton finally getting her flowers.
