Hi, I’m Sheryl.

Founder of ‘Your Own Wave’.

A community for woman embracing the freedom and opportunities that come with being child-free.

What’s it all about?

My life got a whole lot more fun-filled once I met other people who were child-free.

Knowing that, I felt compelled to create a space for child-free women who are open to meeting new people, and love spending time outdoors, the opportunity to connect.

It’s not that my friends who have families aren’t up for socialising every now and then. It’s just a fact that family life is understandably their priority, meaning they don’t have as much time (and possibly energy) as someone who is not a parent.

And that can leave a bit of a social void in your life.

If you’re the sort of person who likes some company to go places or do things, you can easily find yourself not doing the things you would love to do. Which can leave you feeling unfulfilled and lonely.

But there’s a growing number of women in the UK living outside of the typical picture of life. A sea of opportunity to make new connections and enjoy life with.

So if you agree that life is so much more fun shared, come and join the community.

Who can I expect to meet?

This community is typically going to appeal to child-free women aged 35-45.

However age is not so important here. The key thing is your appetite for living - whether that’s getting outdoors, trying new activities, meeting new people, eating yummy food, generally having fun, enjoying a beautiful sunset or watching a supermoon rise etc.

If you’re a bit younger or older, and the community and it’s activities sounds appealing to you, JOIN IN!

Where will meet-ups and events be held?

Initially most meet-ups and events will be on or near the Dorset Coast. Suited to locally-based members.

Some events will be online, opening up the opportunity to connect with others further afield.

The longer-term ambition is to host day or weekend events, enabling all members to get the chance to meet-up in-person.
