What Does "Childfree by Choice" Mean?
Childfree by choice means intentionally choosing NOT to have children - not because of infertility, circumstance, or fence-sitting, but because you've decided this is the life you want.
It's a valid, empowered choice that deserves celebration, not constant justification.
"Don't you think that's selfish?"
"You'll change your mind eventually."
"Who will take care of you when you're old?"
"You're not fulfilling your role as a woman."
You're constantly questioned, judged, and held to a different standard. Family asks intrusive questions. Friends with kids drift away. Coworkers expect you to stay late because "you don't have kids to get home to."
And the worst part? You feel isolated.
Like you're the only one who chose this path and has to keep defending it.
Sound Familiar?
Together, we'll transform:
- Guilt into empowerment
- Isolation into connection
- Defensiveness into confidence
- "What's wrong with you?" into "What's right for YOU"
Your Childfree Women's Process Group
You're not alone. And you shouldn't have to justify yourself.
This Group Might Not Be Right For You If:
- You're experiencing infertility or childlessness not by choice (this requires different support)
- You're fence-sitting and still deciding whether to have kids
- You're looking for someone to convince you either way
- You want a general women's group (this is specifically for childfree women)
- You're looking for 1:1 therapy
This group is Right for you if you:
- Have already chosen to be childfree (or are strongly leaning that direction)
- Feel isolated among friends who are moms
- Are tired of defending your choice to family, friends, or society
- Want to connect with other women who truly understand
- Are ready to celebrate your life choices on your terms
- Live in California and can participate virtually
Is The Childfree by Choice Group For You?
You've tried ignoring the comments, changing the subject, and perfecting your "polite smile" - but you're still exhausted from defending your choice.
Whether you're tired of explaining yourself to family who won't let it go or feeling isolated from friends who became moms, you need real connection with women who celebrate your choice instead of questioning it.
WHY I CREATED
THIS GROUP
if we haven't met, I'm THEO
For years, I dealt with the same comments you're hearing. It used to make me tentative about sharing my choice. But now? I'm defiant and empowered. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks.
I like kids - I was a teacher for 12 years. I'm a great auntie. But being a parent 24/7? That's not for me. I want to travel, work, and live life on my terms.
As a therapist specializing in women's empowerment, I create spaces where women can make choices that are right for them and live authentically - even when it goes against societal expectations.
This isn't about being anti-motherhood. It's about being pro-choice and celebrating women who choose their own path.
Yes, this group is for California residents only due to licensing requirements.
Do I have to live in California to join?
We're currently building our waitlist! Expected launch is Spring 2026. Join the interest list to be the first notified when registration opens.
WHEN WILL THIS GROUP START?
Absolutely not. This is pro-choice - celebrating women who make decisions that are right for them. Many of us love kids, work with kids, or are great aunties. We're just choosing not to be parents ourselves.
WILL THIS BE ANTI-MOTHERHOOD?
Everything shared stays confidential. We establish clear agreements to ensure everyone feels safe being authentic.
WHAT IF MY FRIENDS DON'T KNOW I'M CHILDFREE BY CHOICE?
This group is for women who have made the choice to be childfree. If you're in a relationship where your partner wants kids and you don't, we can explore that dynamic in the group.
CAN I JOIN IF I HAVE A PARTNER WHO WANTS KIDS?
Perfect! This group can complement your individual therapy by providing community support and connection with women who truly get your experience.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A THERAPIST?
Join our interest list to be part of a community where
"I don't want kids"
doesn't need a follow-up explanation.
