87: How to Let Go of Being Pitied as a Childless Woman

Send me a text and tell me your favourite thing about the pod!

No one likes to be pitied.  And childless women who wanted kids are no different.   I certainly don't like it and I did feel as though people pitied me when I first began to accept that I would never be a mom.   But when my clients started asking how to get past pity, I realized that I didn't feel it at all anymore and had to really dig into how I shifted my perception.  Because the people around me certainly haven't changed.  I did.

On this episode, you're going to find out:

what pity really is and why it feels so isolatinghow to know if you are actually being pitied and how self-pity comes into playhow to shift your mindset so that you never feel pity againI’m really curious to hear how this episode lands for you.  It’s a tough topic and one that comes up a lot.  If it has for you, then my next question for you is this:  are you going to continue to just plow through and hope that you just wake up on the other side of it all ?  Or will you take some action, and figure out a way to let go of feeling pitied?  

If you are the latter, head over to Instagram and send me a DM at @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words “ep. 87” .  I’ll give you the step by step.
