Non-Mom May: Celebrating Otherhood by Building Community - New Episode

Building community, amplifying voices, and celebrating our way

Last year I made up a new way to celebrate my birthday: Non-Mom May. You know I’ll take any excuse to celebrate ALL THE THINGS, so why not turn my birthday into a month-long affair?

Introducing Non-Mom May: a Celebration of The Otherhood!

Episode Description

Since I, a childfree Latina, was ironically born on Mexican Mother's Day (which is always observed on May 10th), I’m turning May into a celebration of The Otherhood, aka Non-Mom May!

Non-Mom May is a fiesta dedicated to amplifying the stories of women and non-binary individuals living fulfilled lives without children. It isn't about excluding moms; it’s about creating a space where those who aren't parents can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. As a community-building project, it'll also include a daily profile of another inspiring non-mom you can connect with plus a complementary prompt to engage followers and listeners. 

The goals are to honor the diverse experiences of childfree and childless people, and to foster a sense of community and support among us.

How to Participate in Non-Mom May:

1. Join the newsletter to get the daily prompts emailed to you each Sunday¹ (you’re already here, yay!)

2. Follow me on Instagram @PauletteErato and use the hashtag #NonMomMay to find your people

3. Check out the exclusive offers from the non-mom community available all month long (emailed every Sunday too!)

4. If you're a non-mom that would like to be profiled during the celebration, fill out the form at this link: https://forms.gle/GmkhyF2eruHuedwj6

Here is the entire list of prompts for the LVMC #NonMomMay Challenge:

Prompts subject to change, check the weekly updates on Sundays throughout May

The expectation is that by the end of May, you'll have at least 30 more examples of fulfilling and thriving paths forged outside The LifeScript™, a larger flock of black sheep just like you, and the confidence to be your true self without worrying about having children.
