I never expected my community to vanish just because I didn’t have kids.
As I watched people in my life follow the same set of familiar milestones over and over again, I realized I had to intentionally find women like me and be the one to build the community I was missing.
I’m Christine, founder of Lady NoKids:
I was born and raised in the Bronx, built for resilience and reinvention, I’ve learned so many things later in life: how to get laid off and rebuild stronger, how to manage anxiety and protect my mental health, how to travel the world with a laptop and a carry-on, how to sail, how to love and who to love, who to keep close, and who to eject from my life.
I’ve trekked across Africa on safari, survived sexual abuse, built businesses from scratch, sat at tables where I was the only woman in the room, and never stopped speaking.
My career has been anything but linear: accountant, management consultant, HR executive, entrepreneur. Every pivot has been about freedom, impact, and creating spaces where women like us — Lady NoKids — can design lives without apology.
I gather inspiration from the women around me: strong, brilliant, unafraid to be vulnerable. Scarred, yes, but smart enough to do something about it. They are my friends, mothers, family, entrepreneurs, former coworkers, mentors, sponsors, and peers.
Being surrounded by women who are both fearless and deeply human has shaped how I lead, live, and love.
I am a lover of wine and food, of long conversations and spontaneous adventures. I am grateful for the scars and the triumphs, because they remind me that extraordinary doesn’t mean perfect.
It means being authentic, grateful, and brave enough to build a life that looks nothing like the “standard script.”
Lady NoKids is both my work and my way of life:
Proof that when motherhood isn’t your path,
your story is still rich, full, and worth celebrating.
Our community values
Lady NoKids is a place where women without children can connect and design their child-free lives with confidence and community behind them. We hold space for each woman’s experience, knowing that identity and fulfillment take many forms.
What unites us is not how we got here, but where we’re going: toward lives defined by freedom, purpose, and connection.
We gather here to grow, reflect, and design extraordinary lives: together and on our own terms. These concepts are our compass. They ensure that what we build here is rooted in respect, integrity, and joy, and that our members feel safe and respected at all times.
We expect all of our members to share and uphold these values:
♛ Keep trust sacred
Every post, comment, and conversation begins with purpose. We are here to connect meaningfully, not to perform, compare, or convince.
♛ Lead with intention
Stories shared here stay here. This is a confidential, compassionate space where vulnerability is met with care, not curiosity. Trust is our highest currency
♛ Honor every woman’s path
Not every woman in this community chose to live without children, but here every path matters. Some arrived by choice, others by chance or circumstance - all paths are equally valid and valued.
♛ Celebrate without comparison
Freedom has many expressions. We honor success, rest, risk, reinvention — and everything in between. Each woman’s timeline is her own, and every version of thriving belongs here.
♛ Practice integrity
We tell the truth with love, keep confidences, and take responsibility for our words and impact. If we share a resource, we disclose our connection to it. If we disagree, we do so with respect.
♛ Participate generously
Connection is a moral act. We don’t just scroll, we engage, support, and celebrate one another. If something moves you, say so. If someone’s building something beautiful, champion it.
♛ Protect our energy
This is a refuge, not a marketplace or a debate stage. We do not gossip, self-promote, or give unsolicited advice. We come here to replenish and inspire, not to impress or persuade.
This space exists because women need each other; belonging isn’t a luxury, it’s oxygen.
Lady NoKids is more than a community. It’s a shared moral stance: that women’s lives without children - whether by choice, chance, or circumstance - are whole, valuable, and worthy of celebration.
You’re not missing anything here. Instead, you’re building something: for yourself, and for those who will see what’s possible through you.
Come be extraordinary.
