OUR COMMUNITY

“I have really valued a space to share thoughts with others, at a time where lots of people in my life had kids... I have gotten to a place where I have a local group of childfree pals and it is lovely.”

“I see the work you are doing and it is SO AFFIRMING and incredible. Truly, what you're doing together is validating and empowering.”

“I will remain a strong ally. I want my daughter, and future generations, to truly know that they have choices, that they will be treated with respect, and that they can be inspired by the childfree community.”

“Reading your inspiring stories and following your journey has been a tremendous support in my own transition from childless to childfree. Embracing that truth has allowed me to finally start living my best life!”

“I can’t think of anyone better to be advocating on our behalf. There aren’t enough thank you’s in the world to express my gratitude.”

“I've absolutely loved how affirming and generous you are. You've already instilled greater confidence in me and my decision to be childfree without shame or regret.”

“I don't know why I waited so long to join. I love to check in every day with you all, share ideas, lived experiences, resources and fun things too!😃”

“Being part of this deep-hearted and SAFE community has been one of the most validating and powerful experiences”

“THANK YOU for creating such an incredible community where we can share our thoughts without feeling judged.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This is my favourite place on the internet 🙏🏻🌻💖”

“Thanks for opening up a whole new world of meeting likeminded people and networking for me! Happy to help spreading the childfree spirit around the world.”

“What an incredible community you’re building — thanks from the bottom of my heart for the work you do! 💗”
