In this episode of 'Eggshell Transformations', host Imi Lo sits down with Eric and Melissa Jones, a 40-something interracial couple who decided to embrace a childfree life after years of struggling with infertility.

Whether you're childfree by choice or circumstance, or just curious about alternative life paths, this episode offers a heartfelt and honest look at what it means to live authentically.
