Unclassified Woman offers an inspiring stream of conversation with women around the globe, building lives beyond society’s expectations. Part myth-busting, part inspirational story-sharing, Michelle Marie McGrath interviews amazing childless or childfree women, including authors, film-makers, activists, entrepreneurs, priestesses, leaders, speakers and creative mavens, who share their experiences and insights, while questioning the expectations of women everywhere.
Michelle shares interviews with women all around the globe who are childless or childfree for a multitude of reasons. With almost 25% of women over 40 child-free by choice or childless through circumstance, it seems absurd that women still have to justify their decisions or endure pity about why they’re not mothers.
Motherhood is not a mandate and yet so many women are made to feel ‘less than’ or viewed suspiciously or disparagingly, if they are creating a life of meaning beyond biological mothering. All of these outdated stereotypes lead to one dangerous assumption: what’s your value beyond being a mother? As mainstream society still tends to over-celebrate mothers juggling ‘it all’, and under-celebrate women who, whilst not mothers, have created lives of purpose and service.
Unclassified Woman is the perfect antidote to limiting female narratives.
Each woman’s path in life is equally valid, sacred and unique to her.
Michelle is a Mystical Midwife for Magical Mavens, based in Cornwall UK, working with souls around the globe. She's a multi-passionate creative, writer, and intuitive holistic practitioner with 25 years’ experience guiding women to reconnect with the wisdom of their sacred selves. Her work blends intuitive energy medicine, coaching, astrology, and aromatherapy.
