104: What If NOT Having Children Was the Norm in Society?
April 21, 2024 11:00 - 19 minutes - 13.3 MBIn our current society, women without kids make up anywhere between 15 and 25% of the adult female population, depending on the country. Recently, I started to wonder what life would look like - what grief would look like - if that were reversed. If mothers were in the minority, would childless women feel so much FOMO, inadequacy or lack of belonging? Would the grief run as deep? Would we still wonder what our legacy or purpose is? Join me for this solo episode where I contemplate: ag...
103: What To Do When Your People Just Don't Get It
April 14, 2024 11:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBHave you ever come away from a conversation thinking "gosh, "people just don't get it"? Either they say something insensitive or simply can't empathize with your childless circumstances. It's definitely happened to me. Even recently. But the mistake I see in the childless space is the assumption that there is nothing you can do about it. You just have to deal with the irritation or "trigger" and move on somehow. What I have noticed, in myself and my clients, is that there IS somethi...
102: Navigating Anger as a Childless Woman
April 07, 2024 11:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBAnger is an emotion that comes up a lot with my childless clients who wanted kids. Anger can be a really complicated emotion because it's not only an emotion in and of itself, but it can also disguise other emotions. What makes it even tougher to manage is that most little girls are taught not to express the tough emotions. Anger is something boys are allowed to show, but not girls. Yes, even in today's society. So you might be someone who was conditioned to suppress anger, and maybe ...

I've come to realize that so many of us are stuck in this pronatalist ideology and it's impacting, well...really, all of humanity. It's us, the childless women, who feel it the most, but it's affecting all of us. On this solo episode, I'm delving into: what pronatalism is and why you need to star...

99: Why You Need Energetic Womb Healing, with Dr. Jennifer Reimer
February 26, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBThe moment I sat in quiet meditation with an energy healer, I never anticipated the floodgates of emotional pain that would open from my womb space.

98: What We REALLY Need to Be Talking About on International Women's Day
February 22, 2024 17:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBThis episode is a bit controversial. I think there's this an expectation that if you are a woman, you are onboard with everything International Women's Day stands for. But I'm not known for just getting on board with something simply because of an expectation. Do I want women to rise? Yes. Do I want there to be equitable pay in the workforce? Yes. Do I want to see more women at the top? Absolutely! At the same time, there are some aspects of IWD that I look at from a different perspe...

89: Feeling Like You Don't Belong as a Childless Woman is Not Grief
December 18, 2023 22:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBIt's pretty normal to feel like you don't belong when you're a childless woman. We grow up thinking that eventually, we'll belong to the mom club. And then it leaves us with a pretty big feeling of exclusion when we don't get to join. Most people in the childless space, assume that this feeling of not fitting in is a part of the grief and that once the grief starts to lift, we'll also start to feel more included. But that is not the case. In this episode, I'm going to share : why...
88: Behind the Scenes of a Happy Childless Holiday
December 12, 2023 14:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBWhen we want something, it's not actually that thing that we want. It's the feeling that we imagine we'll have when we have the thing. When I wrapped my head around this concept, I could use it to determine exactly what I wanted to feel and how to bring those positive emotions into the holidays. The holidays don't have to be full of dread. They used to be for me. I'd avoid anything that had to do with kids and stuck to the adults-only parties and activities as much as I could. And the...

Because the people around me certainly haven't changed. I did. On this episode, you're going to find out: what pity rea...

85: 10 Tips to Get You Through the Holidays as a Childless Woman
November 16, 2023 20:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBThe holidays are probably one of the toughest times for childless women. Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place. They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions, and the middle of the football game on TV.

October 30, 2023 15:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBIf you’re grieving your dream of becoming a parent, you probably assumed at least someone amongst your family and friends would provide you with the support and empathy you need.

We tell other people they ARE strong. We tell children not to cry when they fall, we tell them to ignore it when someone calls them names.
