Holiday Peace: A Childfree Reflection on Seasonal Chaos

Editors Note: Her Childfree Life explores autonomy, feminism, and choice through my own lived experience — as a white, childfree woman navigating autonomy, identity, and freedom. I know that not everyone has the same access to choice, safety, or voice. I can only write what I know, and I welcome open discourse and opportunities to learn more. If you have a perspective or lived experiences or stories you’d like for Her Childfree Life to consider, please contact us.
