Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! Society tells us that women are meant to procreate and having or raising a child is the ultimate purpose in life.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! Each of us has our own unique path through childlessness. Many have arrived here through infertility or pregnancy loss.

| 23 Feb 2022 | 53: Not All Childless Women's Groups Are Healing | 00:22:21 | |
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! One of the benefits of social media apps is the ability they have to gather like-minded people. It's easy to find them, follow them and join their groups. It's hard to imagine life without social media groups and followings now, but even just a few years ago, they weren't so prevalent.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! The path to motherhood can be daunting for some of us.

Every decision along the way is tough, each let down is heartbreaking, and vast array of emotions you feel every step of the way can be overwhelming. Where to find Sheri: | |||

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! Katie Maynard is a licensed psychotherapist who has had her own experience with infertility and now childlessness. She's a therapist who "gets it" when it comes to the unique grief and challenges we face as childless women. What a gift as a client when seeking help, to speak with someone who understands.

| 25 May 2022 | 66: Applying the 5 Stages of Grief to Childlessness | 00:25:32 | |
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! I think for most of us, there’s potentially a long process of coming to the realization that you are going to be a childless woman. There’s no one big moment. And yet, it still catches us totally off guard. You grow up assuming you’ll become a mother one day. You have no reason to believe that you won’t be. Whenever you meet a childless couple, you don’t even really register it or think about what their life is really like. You’ll never be that person so it doesn’t even enter your mind. And yet, there IS a moment when you suddenly realize, oh my goodness, I’m here. I AM a childless woman. Not going to be, but am already. Where to find Sheri: | |||

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! There is so much systemic prejudice towards childless women ingrained in our society today that stem from ancient patriarchal and pronatalist views and government policy.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! Has someone ever said to, "you're so lucky you don't have kids"? If you wanted kids, of course you don't feel very lucky to have that unfulfilled dream. Sometimes I wonder if parents say things like this - or complain about their kids - to us childless women because they want us to feel as though we're not missing out on anything great. But then, of course, they swoon over their kids in the next breath.

| 30 Oct 2023 | 82: Expecting Empathy From Loved Ones May Be the Worst Way to Get Support | 00:27:53 | |
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! If 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. And yet, my own experience, and that of most of my clients, is that their closest friends and family - and sometimes even their partner - are not able to offer empathy or understanding. This is why looking for support among those closest to you – or worse, expecting it from them – might not be the best way to get the support you need. Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

| 11 Nov 2023 | 84: Prontalism Explained And How it's Impacting You | 00:24:57 | |
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! If you are a childless woman who feels triggered by how mom-focused and kid-centric our society seems to be, you might be stuck in the pronatalist ideology. If you're stuck here, you often feel like you are somehow worth less than mothers, you get irritated when someone asks if you have children, you feel as though you're treated differently at work, at church or even in your social circles. Breaking free of the societal norms and expectations that stem from pronatalism is a key piece to feeling worthy in the world. This is why I do what I do. Ultimately, when we are able to shift our mindset as childless women, the world we see begins to change.
My journey is not just about sharing experiences but also about extending an invitation to you. Together, we can challenge these outdated ideologies and empower ourselves to define our worth.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! 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:

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! This 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!

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most! Menopause is a huge transformational time for women and another topic that we don’t talk about enough. Women may joke about their memory, or hot flashes or complain about heavy periods. But they don’t talk about the deep stuff. The vulnerable stuff. Or the scary stuff. There is SO much going on for women during perimenopause and midlife, and childless women experience it, quite often, right alongside trying to start a family before it’s too late. That, to me, adds a whole other element.
