Finding clarity on choosing a childfree life, with coach Bea Grist
Bea Grist is a life and wellness coach, who is actively sparking conversations around living a life without children. Bea is childfree by choice – but getting to that place has taken over a decade of questioning and turbulence. In this chat Bea shares how she found that clarity for herself and why she’s now speaking out on social media about the pressures many women are under. In the process, she puts forward the idea that you can be a mother without having kids of your own. Her approach is honest and liberating, and invites the idea that all we can do is listen to what we need now.
