I need a community of women like myself, childless, parentless (or imminently parentless). I am fearful of my future and need a community of women who are no longer fearful, but empowered and bold.

Thank you Byddi - I'm so heartened to know that it had that impact on you. It was a new topic for me to explore with my audience, and I'm not sure it was what many people were expecting (there's a bit of a silence around it since!) so it's good to know it gave YOU 'hope for humanity'. Hugs & thanks, Jody x
There is a lot to digest - two very big topics and so very interwoven and overwhelming to contemplate. I took the message that we were facing climate collapse and societal collapse (driven from a political perspective), but the panelists, while acknowledging this,s had practical and positive advice to give about approaching it. Community is everything. Thanks for your courage in shining a light in dark places.
