Single Ladies with no kids
As a single woman without any children, I recognize those unique experiences we face daily. It’s a freedom that cannot quite be found for others with a burden that is rarely seen.
I love having the ability to focus my time on my interests. Thankfully mental health and the study of social behavior is my interest, because it’s also my career. As a Social Worker I have worked with people in all stages of life. As I enter middle age, I have started to claim single and child free as part of my identity. In this stage of life so many of us are choosing to shift our focus to building meaningful friendships instead of romantic relationships. If you are choosing to de-center romantic relationships in this way, you are welcome in this single and child-free community.
Centering Ourselves
As women we are often given context to our lives at an early age. For those of us who choose to center our interests and not marriage or family building, this can prove challenging. The SOLO sisterhood is committed to building a space for women who have reached their 40s, 50s, and 60s being single and child-free.
Let’s build our community in an uplifting way. Focusing on celebrating each other’s successes and being present in times of need. This might be as simple as checking on a beloved pet while a member of SOLO is out of town, or someone to go out to dinner with when we get that promotion we worked hard for.
Starting Out
An initial meeting of the SOLO sisterhood is scheduled for November 15th at the Richmond Public Library. Check out the events page for more information. This is our time to develop what out SOLO sisters want and need in our community.
I’m so excited to build with you.
