My talk, ‘What Does Meaning Mean to You?’ is a deep dive into the topic of meaning, something very dear to my heart, as the meaninglessness that I encountered as part of my childless journey was real ‘dark night of the soul’ territory. And from my many thousands of interactions with childless women over the last 13 years, I know this to be a core challenge each of us has to address as we navigate our identity as people without children in an overwhelmingly pronatalist world.
In my presentation, I share a key tool I created to help analyze what meaning means to YOU, and how you can take tiny steps towards it. I’ve put a lot of love, soul-searching and energy into this, and I really hope it’s useful to you – it’s been very helpful for me to revisit this territory too, as meaning is never a one-and-done kind of thing… in fact, it’s a lifelong quest and is absolutely at the core of what it means to be human – whether we are childless or not.
