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 […]

Nothing could have prepared me for the response I received – the piece went viral and […]
I’m a Guest on Happy & Childless!
It was an honour to be invited onto the Childless and Happy podcast recently, to discuss my own personal journey through childlessness and how being childless affects us in the workplace. It was great to talk this through with the lovely Helen Gallagher, a warm and friendly woman who has had a similar journey to […]
I’m a Guest on BBC 5 Live: Chris Warburton’s Show!
Having been interviewed on BBC 4’s Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio 5 Live’s Breakfast Show, you could be forgiven for thinking I was confident speaking on live radio. Wrong! As I sat waiting for the phone to ring for my guest slot on Chris Warburton‘s Show on 5Live, I must have looked like I was […]
I’m a Guest on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast!
No sooner had I recovered from my guest slot on BBC4 Woman’s Hour than I was invited to be a guest on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Breakfast Show hosted by Eleanor Oldroyd and Gordon Smart. Eek! Another live radio show? I was told I would receive a phone call at 8.15am on Friday 22nd December, […]
