Happy and Childless

Rachel Cordon is a people centred and goal focussed certified breath and body worker. Rachel has a fascination with body psychotherapy and how unconscious minds operate in our lives.
In this episode, we will be exploring the power of breathwork in releasing the emotion and grief of being childless not by choice and discussing how transformative this journey has been for Rachel. Rachel now helps others to move through their own healing journey.
We discuss how the suppression of emotions through alcohol and other unhealthy habits can manifest physically within our bodies and how we can learn to tap into our feelings and release these trapped emotions through breath work. We talk all things breath work, archetypes and how we can intentionally breathe our way in to 2025 with purpose and clarity.

Henri is childless not by circumstance and talks openly and so eloquently about the challenges of being single together with being childless not by choice. She talks about the multiple losses she has faced - the loss of the father of her children who she never met, her children she never had, the loss of her as a mother, her future, her grandchildren and sense of security.
We discuss the importance that friends and family have in our healing process and that, if only they could see being childless as a loss, our grief could be better acknowledged and supported.
Henri is so open and honest about her own journey and her strength and resilience together with hope for the next chapter. A true inspiration.

In this episode, I am delighted to be speaking to Carrie Hauskens who has been a huge inspiration to myself. Her journey involves incredible loss and adversity with the still birth of her precious daughter, Clementine due to a rare liver disease. Throughout all of her journey, Carrie has shown an incredible strength and openness to the possibility of happiness despite the challenges faced. She is the perfect example of a truly authentic human being who represents hope, resilience and a sense that, no matter what, life can be ok.
She is proud of her story and celebrates it. We discuss how she chose happiness and that the story she would tell herself through the hard times enabled her to find a narrative with a positive spin.

In this episode, I am speaking with Dr Krystal Wilkinson and Dr Robin Hadley around the topic of childlessness in the workplace and the absent narratives which need to be addressed.
We discuss the fact that being childless not by choice is a stigmitised and taboo subject in the workplace and how the legitimacy of childlessness is a real issue compared to parenthood where policies and government legislation exist. It is essential that everybody's non work needs deserve to be addressed and acknowledged without fear of judgement and discrimination.
We talk around the challenges which arise from feeling isolated but also delve into what can be done to put childlessness on the agenda and support all employees who are affected.

Ruth Corden co hosts the podcast Finding the Funny which in just over 2 years has had 1 million downloads. Ruth is childless not by choice and has struggled for years with PCOS and endometriosis and through those years so desperately wanted to have a family.
In this episode we discuss Ruth's decision to finally stop trying and to move forward in life being intentional about finding joy. We also discuss being childless not by choice outside of the IVF journey and how the grief will always be with us but that our lives can be filled with joy and happiness if we accept where we are. 
"Childlessness is like the label in the cardigan. Sometimes it itches, sometimes it digs in and sometimes it doesn't"
We discuss how our purpose in life goes beyond parental status and that what we have to offer to others and the world around us is incredibly valuable.
