25.01.2022 World Childless Week is going ahead this thanks to the tireless efforts of Stephanie Phillips despite her personal struggles this year. If youd like to share your story about your journey of childless WCW is a lovely supportive platform to express whatever you feel you need to express. Be sure to follow the page to keep up to date.

25.01.2022 There are so many valid reasons why those who are childless decide not to adopt. Its expense, difficult, takes a lot of time, comes with no guarantee, just to ...mention a few. For many, its not an option even if they pursue it with everything theyve got. Adoption is not the next obvious step after infertility. When I tell people Im not going to adopt, I think their first assumption is that I couldnt love an adopted baby like I could a biological one. That has 0% to do with my reasons for not adopting. Look, if someone is childless not by choice, they already know about adoption. Youre not letting them in on a secret. So please, stop telling them they can "just adopt" or asking them if theyve thought about it. How about telling them that no matter what happens, they can have a fulfilling and beautiful life, full of joy and love. That they are whole and amazing with or without a baby. That they are valued and have so much to contribute to this world. Adoption is a beautiful thing but its not the best option for everyone.

24.01.2022 Sky news interviewed Katy Lindemann Thornton from London to debunk the myth that our media is pushing that women are choosing to have children later in life, which we all know to be not true. Katy does a great job of representing the CNBC community here. I particularly like that she has initiated the movement to reclaim the word "barren".

24.01.2022 How will you choose to step into the new decade? I have written an article which appeared in the latest Brave Magazine that you can read below. Theres some ideas included on how you may like to support yourself through this transition. https://en.calameo.com/read/0056066358707f04ca208.

24.01.2022 Hi everyone. Here's the link to the podcast by UnRipe where I was interviewed. My interview starts at 12 minutes, however I do recommend starting from the beginning as its well worth the listen. Penny and Jo at UnRipe are doing a fantastic job at bringing awareness to our community. https://www.unripecommunity.com.au//all-episodes-delete-e/

23.01.2022 Celebrating all the women in the CNBC community. Sending you a big virtual hug. We are all to be celebrated. I received this lovely surprise card and Game Of Thrones keyrings from my God Daughter. For those that may find Mothers Day less than easy focus on all your positive qualities and successes, and celebrate you by doing something special for yourself. For some ideas have a look at my Self Care Bingo card at Empowering Health

23.01.2022 My mother is currently in hospital and very ill. And I asked for a message that I needed to help me to better cope with all the emotions and thoughts that are arising surrounding the possibility of loosing her. During these last few days Ive also noticed that Im experiencing some of the same fears I experienced about not having a child. Im an only child and my mother is my only immediate family I have left. So the card is very appreciated.

23.01.2022 Creative visualisation is a very powerful tool that may help you in your process of healing from grief and loss. It is used also in many of the techniques I practice with my clients. Ive prepared a Visualisation Tips report with some exercises for your to practice at home and a reference list for further reading if youd like to know more. http://www.empoweringhealth.clinic/visualisation-tips... . . .

18.01.2022 What message is your heart sending? Many in the CNBC community are grieving. Grieving loss on so many levels. However you attract more of what you put out there. When youre ready to start changing your heart vibration let me know. I work in person and online. Sending you all a big hug.

18.01.2022 Changing our life plans by pivoting and adapting to finding out we cant be parents is huge and life changing. Without change thered be no butterflies.

14.01.2022 This is an issue for many even during non Covid times. At least its being highlighted in mainstream media now. Parents v non-parents at work: COVID has brought tensions to the surface - The Age https://apple.news/Ai_SP8YDNT6u75BZrrq0iYA

13.01.2022 Extract from Stillness Speaks by Eckart Tolle I felt needed sharing here: "Whenever any kind of deep loss occurs in your life such as loss of possessions, your home, a close relationship; or loss of your reputation, job, or physical abilities something inside you dies. You feel diminished in your sense of who you are. There may also be a certain disorientation. 'Without this ... who am I?'" When a form that you had unconsciously identified with as part of yourself leaves ...you or dissolves, that can be extremely painful. It leaves a hole, so to speak, in the fabric of your existence. When this happens, don't deny or ignore that pain or the sadness you feel. Accept that it is there. Beware of your mind's tendency to construct a story around that loss in which you are assigned the role of the victim. Fear, anger, resentment, or self-pity are the emotions that go with that role. Then become aware of what lies behind those emotions as well as behind the mind-made story: that hole, that empty space. Can you face and accept that strange sense of emptiness? If you do, you may find that it is no longer a fearful place. You may be surprised to find peace emanating from it."

13.01.2022 One of the modalities I use to help people to move through their emotions and become more balanced is Kinesiology. Heres a video I created some time ago that helps explain a little about what it is. Its a great tool to look at whole body health, including the mind and how one thing may be affecting the other. Its also a way of looking for the whys. ie why didnt I fall pregnant so that together we may then find a way to get your body back to the state of balance it should have been in in the first place before you started trying so that you can live a better life moving forwards from this point. https://youtu.be/DDOw5zADink

12.01.2022 I was interviewed recently for a podcast for Kinesiologists by Debbie Rossi and took the opportunity to promote #WorldChildlessWeek. As1Kinesiology Podcast featuring Anne Barratt During the podcast we talk a lot about authenticity and how to create a space for our clients journey to unfold, allowing our clients to lead us in supporting them. Anne reminds us to keep working on ourselves as we continue to learn and grown as individuals and as practitioners.... This podcast is released to coincide with World Childless Week, this is a worldwide initiative in its third year. Childlessness affects 1 in 4 people in our community and Anne has a beautiful way of connecting with her clients and helping them through their journey in childlessness and infertility. Anne draws upon her own experiences and her own healing journey to be the authentic practitioner to her clients. This is a great podcast and one that I will be re-listening to! http://www.centreforintuitivekinesiology.com.au/as1kinesio/ feeling thankful in Verona, Italy.

09.01.2022 One on my primary caregivers when I was a child was a lady who was childless not by choice. Many of us grieve the loss of not having a child, however this may all come around again when all our close friends and family are becoming grandparents. This hit me for the first time yesterday when I saw a tv commercial for a Google system activating a mans front door security camera and seeing his joy when he saw it was is Nan at the door. I never had a relationship with my Nans, so I adopted one. Read more below: http://www.empoweringhealth.clinic/i-adopted-a-grandma/
