I am blown away by the experiences and response to the Delightfully Free Moon Circles in January! It’s blowing my mind in the best way.

It’s validating and inspiring to realize I am not alone in craving the connection and spaces we are cultivating with these moon circles.

Given the magic already happening, I have decided to continue offering these circles for the New and Full Moons.

What is it like for you to hear rich, authentic, inspiring conversations about childfree women’s life experiences?

For me, it’s like getting on a trail and taking a deep breath of forest air as I leave the world’s noise behind me and open up to possibility.

In the early internet days, when I first realized that I would likely not be a mom, I did not have easy access to the life stories of childfree women. Those stories were in the shadows and not elevated or celebrated with any consistency.

Slowly, this is changing because we are changing it ourselves.

Sometimes, the source of our pain or discomfort is obscured and even promoted by our culture.

By nature, we notice what everyone else seems to be doing, and consciously or unconsciously, we are drawn to do something similar, even if it’s not in alignment with our dreams and desires.

When I first realized I was going to be childfree, I had no childfree women around me to look to for guidance, inspiration, or support.

I adjusted to my new reality, believing the messages I was getting that my childfree life was less than and worthy of pity.

I did my best to acclimate to the world my friends and family occupied as parents, but I often felt like a black sheep.

It would have been life-changing for me to share my journey with other childfree women in my life.

When our dreams are squashed or atrophied, we often seek refuge in spaces, relationships, and life patterns that we hope will give us a sense of relief or the golden ticket to whatever shiny thing capitalism tells us will make us good enough. As we march along this path, we can lose our way and sense of self.

A sense of family and belonging is essential to quality of life. I’m here to affirm that this is entirely and ecstatically available to you along the Delightfully Free Journey.

A few years ago, I recognized my cell phone had become glued to me and it was not providing me delight, freedom, or fulfillment by any sustainable measure. In fact, it was making me anxious, stressed, pessimistic, unhealthy, and a shitty companion.

As an adult, I come back to this question as my anchor, time and time again, as I make decisions in my life, big and small.

When I don’t keep this question in front of my mind, I easily fall prey to hustle culture. It seduces me with buzzing neon lights and promises of thrills and worthiness that I can achieve if I just follow the script laid out by patriarchy-infused capitalism.

I designed this guide especially for YOU, to support you in taking time for ritual to celebrate and honor the Fall Equinox with the transition of the seasons, as our ancestors have done every year before us.

I really, really, really could’ve used some spaces where being childfree was the norm.

The Delightfully Free Journey creates space to slow down, turn in, hold space, connect, reflect and listen. Listen to your heart’s desires and to those around you. Inspiration and restoration lives here. And, likely, some great laughter.

As we begin the beautiful transition from the warmth, radiance, and playful energy of summer, to the cozy embrace of autumn, we’re invited to step into nature’s cyclical rhythm of time. Just like the seasons, our lives ebb and flow, move and change, creating a tapestry of experiences that shape and inform who we are and what we are becoming.

The Fall Equinox is a moment of nature’s balance, between day and night, summer and autumn, growth and harvest. As the leaves change and a gentle crispness graces the air, we are invited once again to relish in the magic transitions of the seasons bring into our lives.

Alexandra shared how living childfree has allowed her to take risks and have many experiences with her life, including living around the world, being a creator in numerous mediums, exciting career opportunities, meeting incredible people, and leaping into love again in midlife when it came calling (you'll have to read the book or watch the movie for this story when it comes out…it's incredible!)

But, here's what I was unprepared for as a childfree woman: the apparent pervasive belief that if you don't have kids of your own, that means you are destined to a dark and lonely end of life.
