Where Do I Belong?: Reflections from Childless Aunts, Uncles & Godparents
Whether you're navigating your own identity as a childless aunt or uncle, or seeking to be a better friend to someone who is, this Full Stop podcast episode offers a rare and thoughtful space to reflect on a topic that isn’t talked about that much. How do we be involved with children and look after ourselves and our relationships with the adults?
Self-compassion and childlessness
As childless people we love talking with other childless not by choice people. Sarah Lawrence is our co-founder and a trauma-informed person-centred counsellor (MBACP) at After The Storm. She works exclusively with people who are childless. In this article she talks about self compassion and reflects on a podcast episode with Karin Enfield De Vries on how we may choose to transform ourselves as childless not by choice people.
