We are your circle of redwoods

Louisiana doesn’t have redwoods….but I am a big fan. Why!? Redwood trees have an extensive underground root system that often intertwines with the roots of other trees…they aren’t deep but can extend over 90 miles. They use each other for strength and nourishment…and because their roots are so intertwined, they often grow into a “circle of redwoods”. You, my friends, are in my circle of redwoods. We are each other’s circle of redwoods….

If you live in the Baton Rouge area, come meet us on the 1st Saturday of every month! It's a chance for childless women to meet face to face on a regular basis. Everyone's journey is different...but we have a lot in common. There is power in talking to someone who "gets it".

If you're feeling a bit nervous or shy about coming along... that's ok. Childless women are everywhere...but we often don't speak about it...which makes those of us going through it even harder.

World Childless week

World Childless Week

World Childless Week aims to raise awareness of the childless not by choice (cnbc) community and enable every childless person to share their story with confidence. It's for anyone who is childless despite their longing to be a parent because they have never been pregnant (for any reason), not carried full term or have suffered the sadness of a baby born sleeping. World Childless Week is here to support those who have felt the heartbreak of knowing they will be childless for life.
