| Childless not through choice - Berenice Smith | 17 Jun 2021 | 00:27:57 | |
This week, I have a guest on the podcast - Berenice Smith. Berenice has been a member of the Freelance Lifestylers FB group for a while, and she's been a support to so many in the group - but especially those who are childless not through choice. In this episode, we talk about Berenice's freelance journey, the language and actions we can take to be more inclusive of those who are childless, and the support out there for those who are childless, whether that's by choice or not. The tweaks she's suggesting are small but powerful, and I'd really recommend taking the time to listen to this episode (plus Berenice is an absolute delight!) Resources mentioned Gateway Women: https://gateway-women.com/ World Childless Week (September) https://worldchildlessweek.net Walk In Our Shoes www.walkinourshoes.net Berenice Smith is a graphic designer who create design for print including books and marketing, website design and branding. Fun fact, she won three Blue Peter badges for drawing competitions!

| Freelancers vs The Patriarchy | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:32:53 | |
Jo Hooper is a coach who takes business owners on the brink of burnout to a bloody great life through challenging, intuitive and rebellious coaching. I live a pretty unconventional life - child free by choice, unmarried by choice, long term house sitting; and am very much unafraid of sticking my head above the parapet and saying the thing. I believe that capitalism, patriarchy and ableism are the trifecta keeping us small, pliant, kind, quiet and poor and am on a mission to help people recognise and change that.
