About Alysia

I'm Alysia Christiaen, a child-free woman in my 40s from London, Ontario. Lawyer by day, content creator by night — I prefer writing at Pub Milos with cider.

My goal is to provide a space for women to share their child-free workplace experiences, amplify the voices of overlooked professionals, and offer perspective for policymakers and learners.

Our Story

Borne from a social media post

It started with a LinkedIn post about the priorities and experiences of child-free women in the workplace. The response was overwhelming, revealing widespread concerns about invisibility and assumptions.

The question “Do you have kids?” is one that many child-free professionals encounter frequently at work. It can trigger anxiety about judgment, despite being a perfectly valid personal choice. CFW² was created to address this gap.

Everyone is welcome

This platform welcomes those who are child-free by choice or circumstance, plus parents — offering relatable stories and fresh perspectives.

Authenticity

Real stories from real people navigating the child-free experience.

Inclusivity

Welcome to all — child-free by choice, by circumstance, and allies.

Advocacy

Pushing for policy changes and workplace cultures that respect all choices.

“Together, we can build a community that shares perspectives and experiences so that child-free folks no longer feel judged when asked that damn question.”

— Alysia Christiaen, Founder
