Writing a Book for Women Without Kids — Your Story Could Make Someone Feel Less Alone

Hi everyone — I’m working on a book for women who don’t have children, either by choice or circumstance.

The goal is to normalize what it looks like to live a full, meaningful life without becoming a mother — and to help women feel less judged, less alone, and less “othered” for taking a different path.

I’m looking for real voices to include in the book anonymously, to show the diversity of experiences behind this choice (or lack of choice).

If you’re open to sharing your story, feel free to comment here or send me a private message.

🧡 You’re giving me permission to quote or paraphrase your words in the book 🧡 I will not share usernames, personal info, or identifying details 🧡 You can say if you want a heads-up before anything gets used just let me know

You can answer one or more of these prompts or say whatever you feel: • What helped you decide not to have kids? • Have you ever faced judgment or guilt for your decision? • Did you always know — or did it take time to become clear? • If you wanted kids but couldn’t have them, how did you make peace with it? • What do you wish people understood about your decision?

Thank you in advance for being open — even one comment could make someone feel more seen and supported. 🧡
