So, without further ado, here it is: time to climb aboard the Non-Mum Network tour bus and buckle up for the very first NMN group trips…in association with Flash Pack, a travel brand specialising in premium group travel for solo adults.
It was Always on the Cards
My Non-Mum’s Day greetings cards are currently getting ALL the views ahead of International Mother’s Day, which is the second Sunday in May (12th this year). In light of the sheer volume of hits these are getting, I thought I’d share the inspiration behind this idea. Back in 2018, I wrote an article for HuffPostUK […]
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Yesterday morning, whilst getting ready to go and meet some ladies from my Non-Mum Network Facebook group, women I’d never met before, I asked myself: “Shall I wear my Non-Mum Network t-shirt today?” An innocent enough question, right? But it wasn’t as simple as that. I had to take myself on a whole internal […]
Non-Mums, reveal yourselves! Let’s get seen…at last!
Well, Non-Mums, here it is! You asked, I heard you, and have finally got around to creating our very own Non-Mum merch! One of the main things I’ve heard throughout the 15 years I’ve considered myself to be a lifelong Non-Mum (that is, after I had the crushing news that I would never be a […]

When Fertility Treatment Fails…
https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/amphtml/fertility-treatment-ivf-fails-family-121012039.html I’ve had a little flurry of new member requests over on my Facebook group, The Non-Mum Network, and I wasn’t sure why, so I had a quick google and realised it’s because this interview I gave to the press recently had gone live 😁.

Swap Spirits For Spirituality
The good thing about being born a human (instead of, say, a bluebottle), is that we are highly intelligent creatures, brimming with thoughts and feelings. The bad thing about being born a human, is that…well, we are highly intelligent creatures, brimming with thoughts and feelings. Sometimes all that brain activity, all that emotion, can get a bit […]
