This week in The Lounge I had the pleasure of chatting with Jody Day, the founder of Gateway Women and an advocate for childless women. She's an accomplished and incredibly poetic writer and I was lucky enough to get the scoop on the topic of her latest book, 'Living The Life Unexpected - How to find hope, meaning, and a fulfilling future without children.' Jody takes us on a profound journey through her life, sharing her experiences of navigating abortion, fertility challenges, marriage, and societal pressures as a childless woman. We delve into the societal implications of declining birth rates, pronatalism, and the value of individuals without children in our communities. Jody's insight and passion for creating support networks for aging without children will undoubtedly resonate with many of you and plant some thoughtful seeds in the rest. We also touch on the impact of technology on social and dating landscapes and the changing dynamics of relationships. With a focus on empowering women and fostering meaningful conversations, this episode offers valuable perspectives that challenge societal norms and celebrate the unique contributions of every individual. So let's lean in, listen closely, and explore the multi-dimensional journey of involuntary childlessness and aging with Jody.
