With 100+ comments, my essay on what a small group of us in a rural Irish location are doing to support each other as people ageing without children is getting a LOT of attention! jodyday.substack.com/p/whos-going...

What is your relationship to the concept of 'legacy' as someone without children? Mine is complex, and it's changed RADICALLY over time. Free to read: jodyday.substack.com/p/leaving-no...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

My wife shared this today. She is the best.

Don't think single people get enough credit for doing life alone. Rent/mortgage is double, household responsibility and life admin is down to one person, you're your own emotional support, holidays are more expensive, you've to trap and transport human sacrifices for the solstice bonfire solo, etc.

So looking forward to my hard copy arriving in a few weeks. So much of this book has stayed with me, like a soft moss growing on my heart!

Indeed! Ireland can be a very tough crowd for single (and non-mother) women!

I'm away from Ireland right now, but would love to have heard the jaws dropping the floor for this segment!

Ye Gods! Get well soon xxx

This is good.

Have you had coaching at work around a 'CSI' - 'concealable stigmatised identity' such as sexual orientation, illness, disability, neurodiversity, hidden ethnicity, class, parental status, gender identity, religion, etc?
