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

The prevailing narrative tries so hard to separate us from each other - labels specially designed to make us believe we're different from each other when really, at our essence we are all the same. In this episode, Laura and Vivienne speak with Bec Sheffield, who, via the twists and turns of life, found a deep peace in knowing who she really is, and discovered that decisions made from that place are just part of the game of life. Today she lives a life of love, joy and fun, and we're so grateful to Bec for sharing her personal journey with us.
Whatever your circumstances, there's something precious in this podcast episode for every human being.

In this episode, we talk about the only thing that keeps us upset about the things people say, and THE most helpful thing to understand if you'd like to be free of needing people to 'be more considerate' or avoid saying certain things around you in order for you to feel ok. If you're tired of walking on eggshells waiting for the next bomb to drop out of someone's mouth, this is the episode for you.
Love, Vivienne & Laura

There's a common question in the 'childlessness' and the 'childfree' community, that's based on a fundamental misunderstanding about how life works and what determines our value in the world. That question is: "What's my purpose?"
Join Vivienne and Laura as we explore this from an 'inside-out' perspective, coming from a completely different foundation to show you the way out of the rabbit-hole that questions like that inevitably lead us down.

It's taken for granted in the 'childless-not-by-choice' community that the festive season - whatever you celebrate or believe in - is a 'difficult' time of year if you wanted children but can't or didn't have them. In the spirit of changing the conversation, Vivienne and Laura take a much different direction from the usual "tips for surviving the festive season" conversation. Join us as we explore how you can have an entirely different experience of this time of year, no matter what your circumstances are.

Labels can be really helpful, particularly on canned goods. On human beings, not so much.
We take a look at labels - what they really are, what they're useful for and where freedom from labels lies.
