Where being childless is
the norm, not the exception.

Support and understanding for wherever you are in the journey.

You may have found us in the middle of the night,
mid-scroll, or after a particularly hard day.

However you found your way here, we're glad you did.

You don't know anyone else who is childless, and it feels like you're navigating something life-altering, largely on your own.

It seems like almost no one around you understands how deep the layers of this experience go.

You're tired of having to brace yourself before you share. Too often it’s met with responses that minimize what you're going through.

Being childless has left you feeling disoriented: reshaping who you are and what your future looks like.

You're carrying grief that comes in waves. And everyday life is full of moments that can bring it to the surface.

Maybe you're here because...

If any of this resonates,
you're in the right place.

We hope you find this a soft place to land.

Virtual Summit

Details for the next summit are coming soon.

I honestly don't know where I would be without the Childless Collective. When I came looking for this community, I needed hope, to feel seen and heard, and to know I wasn't alone, and I found it all! There is a place for everyone in this community, and it has helped me immensely during an awful time in my life when nobody else in my life could really understand.

I've gotten to know people from all over the world that I never would have met otherwise, and have learned a lot. This is a wonderful and supportive community as one goes through grief and beyond, with many subgroups for different lived experiences. There is an overall sense of support, understanding and kindness.

hey there!

It's rare that childless people have places to gather, and there's something powerful that happens when we do.

When I finally connected with others who share this experience, it changed everything for me. And when I started finding ways to bring us together, I saw how transformative it was for them too.

Since 2019, I’ve used my professional background in social work, community organizing, and event planning to create places for childless people to connect.

I started the Childless Collective because I know how isolating this experience can be, and how everything can shift when you finally find people who get it.

I hope you’ll find that here.

I'm Katy.
