    Episode 8- Things People Say
    Jan 16 2022
    The things people say can seem hurtful, thoughtless or inconsiderate when we're feeling vulnerable about the fact that we don't have children. In this episode, we take a look at what's really going on when we're feeling upset by the things people say, and how we can free ourselves from needing people to be or behave differently in order to spare our feelings.

  • Episode 7 - The Myth of Purpose

    Episode 7 - The Myth of Purpose
    Dec 27 2021

    There's a common question in the 'childlessness' and the 'childfree' community, that's based on a fundamental misunderstanding about how life works and what determines our value in the world. That question is: "What's my purpose?"

    Join Vivienne and Laura as we explore this from an 'inside-out' perspective, coming from a completely different foundation to show you the way out of the rabbit-hole that questions like that inevitably lead us down.

  • Episode 5 - Navigating the festive season

    Episode 5 - Navigating the festive season
    Dec 13 2021

    It's taken for granted in the 'childless-not-by-choice' community that the festive season - whatever you celebrate or believe in - is a 'difficult' time of year if you wanted children but can't or didn't have them. In the spirit of changing the conversation, Vivienne and Laura take a much different direction from the usual "tips for surviving the festive season" conversation. Join us as we explore how you can have an entirely different experience of this time of year, no matter what your circumstances are.

  • Episode 4 - Lose the labels

    Episode 4 - Lose the labels
    Dec 3 2021
    When we wanted children and couldn't have them, or haven't had them yet, we can find ourselves labelled - or we can give ourselves labels - to describe our experience. In this episode we explore what labels are good for and what they're not, and how labels can fall away once we get a sense of who and what we really are, beyond the labels.
