The Happy and Childless Podcast was initiated in 2020 with the sole aim of providing hope and inspiration to other childless not by choice men and women.
Each podcast episode is designed with moving forward at the forefront and the intention is to share tips and techniques that both my guests and myself have used which have helped us on our journeys.
Many have said it is like listening to two friends chatting and sharing their stories. Being childless not by choice can be isolating but the Happy and Childless Podcast is always here to make you feel less alone and validated.
I have walked the childless not by choice journey and I truly understand the grief, triggers, frustration, sadness and loneliness which can be experienced along the way. What I also know, through lived experience, is that there is a way forward. Grief and joy can coexist and we deserve to be happy despite being childless.
I am not happy because I am childless. I am happy even though I am. I know this can be possible for you also.
If you are ready to put yourself, your health and your mental well being first and you want to embrace your life again then this is the podcast for you.
I found Helen’s podcast just when I needed it…full of thought provoking and inspiring discussions and great guests too! It helped me think about my childlessness differently and was a huge part of me finding my way “through” that chapter of my life.
Although I managed to move forward and to create a happy life without children, I sometimes get sad especially after a row of pregnancy announcements in a row ;). That’s when I like to listen to podcasts like this one where women share their experience. It’s wonderful to know that I am not alone and that there are people out there who understand me. Thank you
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you Helen and all the contributors to this podcast. I found myself with stage 4 endometriosis and having to make the awful decision to preserve my quality of life and have a fun hysterectomy at the age of 34. I didn’t think I wanted children but as I’ve got older I’ve had the awful feeling of being “other” - like I’m the odd one out in a room, like I’m going to live a lonely, sad life and can’t properly enjoy Easter, Halloween or the most amazing holiday of all Christmas as a childless person, as these celebrations are only for families. You’ve all helped me feel less alone and that I wasn’t just put on this earth to reproduce. My life is worth something. So thank you all for that
Listening to the Happy and Childless podcast has helped me so much. The way that Helen approaches subjects and makes me feel at ease as a listener is incredible. My favourite quote from Here - “grief and joy can co-exist”. I remind myself of this when I’m having a low day. The podcast is a reminder that my thoughts are valid and that I’m never alone
