Katy Seppi (she/her) is childless after infertility. After four years of unsuccessfully trying to become a mom, she decided to embrace a life without kids. While this decision was the most difficult she’s ever made, she has no regrets and has found new ways to cultivate meaning, love, and joy in her childfree life.

Katy is the founder of the Childless Collective, a hub for community and support for those who are involuntarily childless. Each year, she brings together thousands of childless people through the annual Childless Collective Summit. She also hosts Lighthouse Women (formerly the Gateway Women online community), a private online community for women and non-binary people who are childless not by choice.

Katy holds a Master's of Social Work degree from the University of Georgia, with an emphasis in community empowerment and program development. She loves bringing her expertise in these areas to endeavors that create support and connection for the childless community. She currently lives in Savannah, Georgia and spends her free time on her bike, exploring swamps, reading, hanging out with her favorite people, finding the best tiki drinks, and anything else that strikes her fancy.
