Nicole Louie

Welcome to a new series of episodes to celebrate International Childfree Day 2024! I am delighted to start off by speaking with Nicole Louie about her book 'Others Like Me: The Stories of Women Without Children'.
Nicole is originally from Brazil but is now based in Ireland. This book is a deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women's lives, including Nicole's own story. The book shows the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood and creates a sense of community regardless of age, geographical location or reasons for not having children.
Nicole both writes and speaks beautifully about this topic. We explore themes from the book including the impact of relationships with other people, how our voices can get lost through other peoples questions and doubt, and how clarity, once you find it and whatever that means to you, will cascade down and throughout all areas of your life.
Nicole's book is available to buy in Europe now and will be available in North America in November. For full book purchasing details, please click here - https://www.dialoguebooks.co.uk/titles/nicole-louie/others-like-me/9781408748336/
You can follow Nicole on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bynicolelouie/?hl=en where she curates content around books, movies and podcasts about women who are not mothers by choice, infertility, circumstance or ambivalence.
I really hope you enjoy this episode and that you have a great International Childfree Day!
