For a long time, adulthood was imagined as a fairly standard sequence: grow up, get a job, pair up, have kids, the same life reflected back, over and over.

Now the mirrors have turned to show new patterns and paths.

That is the kaleidoscope.


Every week, Chloe Alana speaks to experts, authors and people living at the intersections of these turns to understand the choices, circumstances and cultural changes that are creating those different patterns — and what happens when our institutions, language and expectations are still built around the old one.

What happens to family, work and relationships when there's no default left to mirror?

Each week we'll be exploring a different piece of the kaleidoscope.

  • Childfree by Choice: Building the Life You Want | Tasha Takes A Left

    Childfree by Choice: Building the Life You Want | Tasha Takes A Left
    26 Oct 2026

    Engagement. Baby. New home.

    When everyone on Tasha's algorithm started ticking off milestones, Tasha felt like the odd one out: single, childfree, and wondering if she’d somehow got life wrong.

    So she did something about it. She built @tashatakesaleft, a growing community for people living off the “right” path.

    In this episode of Kaleidoscope Lives, we get honest about the long, messy road to deciding not to have children, the importance of community and friendships and the online backlash that so many in the 'childfree by choice' community have to face.

    We dive into:

    • Why social media can make you feel like the odd one out
    • The journey to 'childfree by choice', and the grief that sometimes comes with that
    • Why the old life timeline doesn’t fit today’s world
    • Building a village without a nuclear family
    • Dating, de-centring and what a partner would actually need to bring
    • Adulthood used to run on one shared timetable. Kaleidoscope Lives is about what happens now that it doesn’t.
