Someone recently said to me, “A peacock is most vulnerable when it shows its beauty.” It made me think of the beauty we all hold within us that can be diminished and feel tainted by the pronatalism surrounding us every day. We need to speak up and speak out until every childless person feels equal and confident to shine whilst showing their vulnerability.
Today, let’s share and celebrate, why we are worthy and beautiful.
We know how important pets can be, yet many people without children also feel shame or judgment by others for the significance that animals can play in their lives. In this webinar Judy Graham, Sarah Roberts, Narelle Hudson, Anne Xavier Altamore and Rochelle Trimnell-Ritchard (with Bentley) will bust some of the negative stereotypes and shine a light on how and why our pets contribute to our wellbeing and create richness in our lives.
We can’t escape the noise of pronatalism as it surrounds us each day on social media, at work, in advertising, within films and even politics. However, each year more of us are saying we are worthy to be seen and heard; we’re here, we’re childless and we refuse to stay quiet. Join Stephanie Joy Phillips, Jessica Hepburn, Annie Kirby and Hilary Fennell as they speak about raising awareness of childlessness in their individual ways.
A journey to childlessness often leaves us distrustful and feeling separate from our bodies. This has a direct impact on our capacity to feel safe, at home and ourselves in our bodies, which in turn affects our relationships, level of happiness and sense of self-worth. Join Sarah Jane Smith as she guides you through a session of mindful yoga, a powerful practice that can help childless women come home to their bodies and meet themselves with gentle kindness, deep respect and fierce self-compassion.
There are some amazing people out there who want to support us the Childless Not By Choice but don’t know how, and are afraid to say or do the wrong thing. And during the heavy grief or when triggered, as much as we would love to, we simply do not have the energy or resources to teach others. When someone in your support circle voices that they don't know how to support you, you now have this webinar to share with them. Join Sandra McNicol, Annette Linker, Emily Watt, Anna Lundin, Elizabeth Bowie and Kara Wiesmann as they share what they personally found useful so far, in the hope that it gives you some ideas of how to appropriately support your special person as they walk this unexpected path.
Let us change the world’s narrow view of women, not just speak of those women without children, but ALL Women
