LIVE kidfree

LIVE kidfree helps childfree women feel seen, level up, and love their lives. Whether being childfree is a choice, a consideration, or an unfortunate circumstance, the childfree population is growing and so is the conversation about it. Living kidfree has become increasingly mainstream as more women consciously and intentionally opt out of motherhood due to lifestyle preferences, financial limitations, concerns about mental health, and anxiety over climate change. Regardless of our reasons for living kidfree, we deserve to be seen, heard, and valued. Rachel Jacovino is the Founder and Creator of LIVE kidfree. A writer and content marketer by trade, Rachel envisions a world in which all childfree women love their lives, and she inspires them to do just that.

Perhaps this loss is a mutual feeling: I’m sad she is being taken away from me while she may be sad that I won’t be walking the parenting path with her. Regardless, it’s un...
