World Childless Week starts today. Well, if I'm accurate, it probably starts in about six hours time, given time zone changes, but I'm also probably one of the first bloggers in the world who will write that first sentence! (I'll take my small wins where I can!)
I have contributed two pieces this year. As I say every year, this blog is both My Story, it speaks to I am Worthy, and Moving Forwards. Even if events have meant this year that my own story has meant I have been thinking back a lot. It's about life after infertility, and life as a childless woman, and embracing that life as much as possible.
The topics this year include:
- Our Stories – Monday 15 September 2025
- Childless LGBTQI+ - Tuesday 16th
- Childlessness and the Arts – Wednesday 18th
- Childless Health Care – Thursday 19th
- Have you Got Kids? – Friday 20th
- We are Worthy – Saturday 21st
- Moving Forwards – Sunday 22nd
I've written submissions for "Childless Health Care" and "Have You Got Kids?" and will post them here later this week.
I hope you get to take part in some of the activities of the week - whether that is actively in a webinar, or just reading the submissions - and that it both inspires you and helps you feel less alone.
Thanks to Stephanie Joy Phillips in the UK for founding WCW and putting in so much work every year to bring the community together.
