A Conversation That Matters

I recently had the honor of joining the Happy Childless Mindset podcast, hosted by the insightful and compassionate Laura Bignasco. Laura has created a podcast that is a blend of real talk, mindset coaching, and community-building, and I was grateful to be part of it.

Sharing My Story

During our conversation, I opened up about my personal journey—how grief led me to writing, how writing led me to advocacy, and how advocacy became a movement. We talked about legacy, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to live a life that doesn’t follow the expected path. I shared moments of heartbreak, resilience, and the joy I’ve found in building connection with others who understand.

Laura asked thoughtful, grounded questions that made space for honesty. We explored what it means to live with purpose when motherhood isn’t part of your story, and how we can redefine legacy in ways that honor our truth.

Why This Podcast Matters

Being a part of the Happy Childless Mindset podcast was a complete joy! Laura’s warmth and wisdom create a safe space for reflection, growth, and healing. I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak openly, and I hope this episode helps others feel validated and inspired.

My new book launches in November

Laura and I also talked about my upcoming book, which is set to release in November. It’s been a labor of love—years in the making—and during our conversation, I shared how the writing process has helped me navigate grief, reclaim identity, and build connection with other childless-not-by-choice women. The book reflects many of the themes we explored on the podcast: legacy, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to live a meaningful life outside of motherhood. I’m so excited to share it soon.

If this podcast conversation resonated with you, I think the book will too. It’s written with the same heart, the same voice, and the same belief that our stories matter. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Listen In

If you’ve ever felt alone in your childlessness, or if you’re curious about how we can redefine legacy and womanhood together, I invite you to listen. You can find the episode in the link above and I’d love to hear what resonates with you.
