E.P. 52 ¿Me estoy autosaboteando… o es el destino? Brújula Interior · Episode

People who choose to be childfree are often the subject of negative stereotypes. They are sometimes called “selfish” because they do not want to dedicate their lives to raising someone else. They may also be described as “cold” or too career-oriented.

People who push them to reconsider (their in-laws, for example) often use scare tactics to get them to reproduce, such as: “Who will take care of you when you get old?”, “Your partner will leave you for someone who wants children,” or “When it’s too late, you’re going to regret your decision.”

To put it simply, childfree people are often portrayed in a negative light. However, a recent study found that an amazingly positive trait lies at the root of choosing to be childfree: openness to experience.

These people tend to have a strong curiosity about the world, which makes them more likely to travel, explore new ideas, and pursue short-term romantic relationships. Many childfree people want to live a carefree life of adventure and growth. Setting that aside for more traditional pursuits, such as raising children, may feel like too great a sacrifice.

The American Psychological Association defines openness to experience as “a dimension of personality characterized by imagination, creativity, intellectual curiosity, and a preference for novelty and variety.”

Jeffrey Davis, a writer at Psychology Today, calls it “the drive to explore novel aspects of human experience and the willingness to consider perspectives different than your own.” Below, read more about the study and what it says about childfree people.

Last week I had the joy of attending the writers conference in San Francisco and what a thrilling experience it was!

Sitting on a panel, sharing insights, and having short coaching conversations with writers felt like such a gift. I got to witness brilliant ideas in the making, deep passion, honest fears, and the very real challenges that come with bringing words to life.

I was reminded of something powerful: intelligence doesn’t live only in our brains. It comes alive in inspiring spaces. It expands in rooms filled with creators. It grows when we gather in conversations that gently massage our creativity and courage.

If you ever have the chance to attend a writers conference — go!!! Put yourself in the room. Magic happens there.

Writing is soul medicine.
Writing is an adventure canvas.
Writing is where we meet ourselves. ✍🏽💫

🥳Guess what? I’ll be participating as a panelist at the Writers Conference in San Francisco (Personal Growth for Writers track!) 📚

One of my favorite hobbies is diving into the minds of writers through their books… so being part of this conference truly feels like a dream 🤍

If you’ll be there, I’d love to say hello!
And if you know a writer who needs this kind of space, send them my way.

Feeling grateful and excited! ✍🏽🥳
