Blog
Welcome to my blog, where I share reflections on involuntary childlessness, identity, and the many ways we find meaning beyond motherhood. Here, I write openly about women’s wellbeing, inclusion, and the realities of living a life that doesn’t follow the expected path. My aim is to start honest conversations, challenge assumptions, and offer connection for anyone navigating life without children — by choice or by circumstance.
