As a coach who works with childfree women on stepping boldly into their choice of being childfree it has always been important for me to showcase women doing just that. To show women out there who are either struggling with the decision or have maybe not seen examples of living a childfree like, that it can be done and it can be done WELL.
I can share the stories I hear but what better way to show this than straight from the mouth of childfree boss ladies so I created the podcast Chill &Grace, the lifestyle podcast for childfree women chilling in their truth and gracefully inspiring others to do the same.
My first guests are two best friends, Blair and Whitney.They are business owners who met in in Lubbock, at a time when everyone was having kiddos and they were not living the norm.
I felt like I was a fly on the wall as two best friends shared their joys and struggles of being childfree. I know it can be isolating for so many women out there who make this decision so it was so nice to see two best friends making the same choice and supporting each other through not only this decision but in all the other ways they do.
We talked about the “Must be Nice” guys, being left out of mom meet ups and being okay with that and how they have come to respond to the intrusive questions or rude comments on their choice to not have children.
One of my favorite parts was when one of the ladies mentioned how this was one of the first times she has actually spoken about this as a CHOICE not something that just happened and how empowered she felt by speaking her truth.
