The Childfree Connection

Brita's story is a raw and honest exploration of one of the most challenging scenarios in relationships: the discovery that one partner wants a child, and the other doesn't. She and her ex-husband started their romance young, with the societal script of "happily ever after plus baby" playing in the background. But as time went on, that traditional script began to unravel.

In this episode, Brita peels back the layers of her decision-making process, revealing the internal struggles, the relationship tensions, and ultimately, the path to self-discovery.

If you've ever wondered about the real-life implications of how the "baby decision" impacts a relationship, or if you're grappling with your own childfree choice, Brita's story will inspire you to check in with your true authentic self.

We're diving into the all-too-familiar rude comments that childfree people just can't seem to avoid. You know the ones – the hurtful, confusing, and downright insane remarks that make us shake our heads.

In this episode, we'll tackle gems like "What are you going to do if your partner dies before you?", "You'll change your mind" and a bunch more that you may have yet to hear.

Rick and I will be back next time but stick with me today because I have a very special bonus episode of "Is Childfree For Me?" where my program graduates share their personal story of how they found peace and confidence with the childfree choice.

Today you will meet Charlotte, a 32 year old woman from Sweden, who’s anxiety intensified when her best friend announced her pregnancy. Charlotte didn’t feel ready to have kids so she panicked with the thought that it was her turn to have kids too.

The initial panic led to a sea of confusion about motherhood and children. Charlotte first worked with a therapist, who, although helpful, didn't contribute to her confidence in making a final decision. She also felt lonely and isolated because she didn’t have anyone close to her that was considering the childfree choice.

Charlotte's determination to find clarity was fueled by a New Year's resolution to prioritize self love and self care. I am certain that you'll be inspired by her dedication and willingness to find inner peace.


If you feel STUCK in the decision to have or not have kids, I can help! My program "Is Childfree For Me? The Essential Guide to Exploring Childfree Life" is a step by step guide to reaching an informed decision with the peace and confidence you deserve. Doors are NOW OPEN! This is an invite-only program. Book your FREE call with me so together, we can decide if this is exactly what you need!
