The One Where I Talk To Childfree Advocate, LeNora Faye

Support the show

In this week's episode, I talk to childfree lifestyle advocate, LeNora Faye. 

LeNora is a childfree lifestyle advocate who creates public and private global platforms for people choosing not to have / birth or raise children. She began her public advocacy work in 2018 after realising a need for more conversation about not wanting to have kids. Following a year of blogging, she co-created the international podcast and web series Childfree Girls which led to the development of Childfree Convention. In 2022, LeNora co-founded Childfree Media, a network of global content creators focused on choice awareness. 

Topics that LeNora & I cover are:

• how she came to work in the childfree space through her blog;
• what it looks like to be a childfree lifestyle advocate;
• the discomfort of being visible;
• LeNora’s experience of growing up in a cult, and how it impacted her decision to not have children;
• how she eventually left the cult by essentially disappearing for 10 years;
• how she always felt she had a calling for more;
• the similarities between dealing with the shame of being raised in a cult, and the shame of not having children;
• how being respected for choosing not to have children is something that many childfree people would appreciate;
• how LeNora is an introvert and subsequently requires plenty of alone time to recharge;
• our mutual love of road trips;
• finding your tribe and how it happens when you’re in flow;
• internet trolls and how to deal with them;
