Childfree Life by Design Creating Real Connections: Building a Childfree Community with Florence Wlodarski, Ep 133
Finding your people as a childfree adult isn’t always easy—and the bigger the city, the harder it can be. In this episode, Jay sits down with Florence Wlodarski, founder of Parallel, a social club designed specifically for people living without children. They dive into what it really means to create meaningful community when your lifestyle doesn’t revolve around parenting.
You’ll hear:
- Why childfree friendships take extra effort—but are worth it
- The power of in-person gatherings over online connections
- What “childfree” really means (hint: it’s more than a label)
Whether you're craving deeper friendships, dreaming up your own events, or simply tired of surface-level small talk, this episode offers a refreshing, honest take on adult connection—without the kid convo.
