Jody Day: Living Proof You Can Be Happy And Childless
Jody is the British Founder of Gateway Women, the Global friendship and support network for childless women with a social reach of circa 2-million. Jody is the author of “Living the Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning & a Fulfilling Future Without Children”.
In this episode, I will be speaking to Jody about what happiness looks like to her and how she has embraced her life being Happy and Childless. We will be discussing how important it is to “befriend your grief” and learn to acknowledge it whilst continuing to push forward and embrace your life. We discuss the transition from being in a place of grief to one of acceptance and moving forward. The power of peer to peer healing can never be underestimated. Together we can challenge the media driven ideology of pro natalism which states that the only way to find meaning and happiness is to be a parent. Happiness comes from meaning. It is so important to create a meaningful life and happiness will follow. How can we learn to uncover joy again and getting the daydreaming engine going? It takes tiny steps forward, managing your thoughts and ultimately working within what you can control.
