Life in Colour - Changing the conversation around life without children Laura White, Vivienne Edgecombe

- Health & Fitness
Welcome to the Life in Colour Podcast, with Vivienne Edgecombe, coach and author of "Already Complete: Beyond the Myths of Childlessness" and Laura White, coach at 'A Little Peace of Mind'.
We promise, hand on heart, that this is a different conversation from the usual ones about childlessness, infertility and 'moving on'.
Join us as we explore (and gently bust) the myths that surround life without children, and where happiness, peace of mind and acceptance really come from.
Whether you're childless by circumstance, consider yourself 'child free', or still in the process of navigating the world of potentially becoming a parent, there's something in here to reveal the peace underneath the noise.
Listen from episode 1, or find a topic that resonates with you.
We always have a great time recording these conversations, and we hope you'll find something in them that lifts you up, heals you and helps you realise you already have everything you need to live your most beautiful life.
Love
Vivienne and Laura

Episode 8- Things People Say
The things people say can seem hurtful, thoughtless or inconsiderate when we're feeling vulnerable about the fact that we don't have children. In this episode, we take a look at what's really going on when we're feeling upset by the things people say, and how we can free ourselves from needing people to be or behave differently in order to spare our feelings.

Episode 7 - The Myth of Purpose
"What's my purpose, if I'm not going to have children?" This is what we call a 'rabbit-hole question' - one that sends us off searching outside for an answer that will be definition be unstable and actually, untrue. Join us as we explore the myth of purpose and a much more helpful way of understanding and exploring this adventure we call life.

Episode 6 - Seeing through Regret
Once you see regret for what it is, it doesn't really make sense any more. In this episode we unpick regret in the context of life without children, and show how it can dissolve in an instant when you recognise it for what it is.
