Betty White – A Lifetime of Creative Expression and Caring

by Laura S. Scott, Childfree Author and Documentary Filmmaker

When Betty White passed away on December 31, 2021 at age 99, I went into a deep mourning. I had never met Betty White but at some semi-conscious level I had adopted her as a role model growing up, likely while watching the Mary Tyler Moore and the Golden Girls television series and the Hollywood Squares game show.

Marie Marvingt: Daredevil, Humanitarian, and Childfree – 100 Years Ago

by Emma Duval

Adventure, career changes, international travel, charitable and philanthropic projects … these are goals shared by many childfree women today which were achieved over a hundred years ago by Marie Marvingt (1875–1963), a multi-talented French athlete, aviator, and journalist who was nicknamed the “fiancée of danger.”

Childfree Representation: Film, TV, and Celebrity

by Laura LaVoie

I have spent the better part of the last three years writing and revising a novel. People know I’m a writer, but most of my work is made up of essays, blogs, or non-fiction. After a lifetime of concern that there weren’t enough truly childfree characters represented in film, TV, or books, I figured the only way to make it happen was to create it.

Who are Your Childfree Role Models?

~Author of Two Is Enough: A Couples Guide to Living Childless by Choice,

Director of the Childless by Choice Project~

As a life, leadership and executive coach, I understand the importance of having role models or mentors during the course of your life. These are the people that guide you, inspire you, and have strengths or attributes you admire and want to develop. Without these role models and mentors it’s sometimes difficult to imagine yourself doing something or achieving something you secretly desire. Without these real-life examples, it’s difficult to imagine yourself doing something beyond your current reality. Alternately, when we have these people in our lives we can begin to believe that if they were able to do it then there’s a good chance we can too.

Men Without Children in History: Part 2

by Laura LaVoie, 2015 Childfree Woman of the Year

Following from my Part 1 of Men Without Children in History, here are a few more amazing men in history who didn’t have children. Like the others I have written about, while it is nearly impossible to tell if these men were NotDads by choice, it is an interesting look into the minds that developed our modern world.

Inspired Childfree Living: The Importance of Having a Childfree Role Model

by Laura S. Scott

When I was writing my book, Two Is Enough: A Couples Guide to Living Childless by Choice, I reflected on my early role models for childfree living. I was what I call an early articulator. I knew in my early teens that I didn’t want children but I didn’t have a lot of role models for that life decision-making in my neighborhood, or in my family. However, I did have a TV and there I could find a number of really inspiring role models who appeared to be without children and were apparently quite happy to remain so.
