Description
You are about to discover how to embrace your life as a childless woman who wanted to have a family and never could.

I started this podcast back in 2020, thinking it was about grief. I was focusing on miscarriage. It was called Love and Loss. And then as my own journey evolved, as I had to accept that I was never going to have children, I realized that I had so much more to talk about than just the grief. And as I worked with childless women, I began to see something deeper. Beneath the grief was this equally aching emotion – and a belief: I am not enough.” I am not good enough. ...
So many women try to fix the pain of childlessness by avoiding baby showers, cutting off triggering friends, or demanding others say the “right thing.” But what if the true revolution isn’t about protecting yourself from the world… but reclaiming your place in it? In this second episode of our 3-part closing series (so go back to ep. 147 if you haven't listened to it yet), we unravel the common mistakes women make when trying to relieve the pain of being “othered.” We revisit the work you’ve ...
I make a BIG announcement at the beginning of this episode so tune in to find out more about the future of the Awakening Worth Pod. And then, the rest of the episode is for the childless woman who wonders why she still feels stuck in grief after letting go of motherhood. It's not just grief you’ve been carrying. It’s the deep, unspoken belief that your worth was tied to becoming a mother. In this opening chapter of our final 3-part podcast series, I share the personal realization that c...
When you're childless, midlife and menopause can feel like much more than a biological transition. It's a spiritual reckoning. Especially when the world thinks that the only value women add after menopause is "grandmother" - and you don't get to be one. In this deeply honest episode, we’re naming what few dare to say: that for childless women, midlife and menopause come with a unique, often invisible layer of grief. Not just hot flashes—but heartbreak. Not just hormone shifts—but identity shi...
I know that Mother's Day is one of the toughest days of the year for us women without kids. When I went through my first couple of Mother's Days, I followed all the advice I heard online.... Just stay off social media. Just pretend it's just like any other day. Do something nice for yourself. These were all things that worked to help me push through the day, but really just amounted to band-aid solutions. They didn't actually me to fully let go of the triggers leading up to i...
You don’t have kids, but somehow you’re still hustling to prove you're a good woman. Why? We live in a world that glorifies selflessness—and if you're not a mother, the pressure to perform it in other ways is real. This episode is a wake-up call to the invisible ways you're trying to prove your worth by over-giving. ✨ What if everything you've been taught about what makes a woman “good” is actually a trap? I'm pulling back the curtain on a cultural myth that affects millions of women—e...
Most women think that if they just knew what to say to set a boundary, aka say "no", they will start doing it. That's actually what's keeping them from getting time back for what they really want. The media conversations about setting boundaries are reinforcing this belief, and missing a critical piece that is stopping women from setting them. First, they tell you that you should set better boundaries. That's not helpful because most women already know they should, but either think it's...
If you're frustrated with workplace structures, experiencing inequities, or feeling envy towards mothers or other women - this episode is for you. This is Part 2 of a discussion I had with my sister, Jen, about women in the workplace and the experiences of both mothers and childless women. This episode might ruffle some feathers. Jen and I are going to lay out why the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives (or dismantling of them right now in the US) might not matter. ...
I've been avoiding this topic, but it's time we talk about it. At some point along the way, most of my clients mention "work", and how being childless can be a unique experience in the workplace, no matter what kind of workplace it is. It's International Women's Day as we publish this episode, and with that comes renewed vigour for gender equality in the workplace. On today’s ep, my sister, Jen, who is a leadership coach and expert in boundaries and busy-ness, joins me to flesh out what...
If you wanted to have kids and you're here now, at some point you have to or had to make a very tough decision. What I’ve found is that it doesn’t matter whether you’re single, partnered, tried IVF, on the adoption route, never tried anything – we all are faced with a decision at some point. If you end up on the childless path, at some point, you decide to stop trying. On today’s episode, I talk about the decision, the process, and what happens after you make it, so that you can feel mo...
Why do we hold ourselves back from the lives we truly want? And more importantly, how do we break free from this cycle? Today, we are talking about something that quietly but powerfully shapes the way we live—guilt. This emotion affects childless women in unique ways. And sometimes, it turns into self-sabotage. In this episode, I'm going to help you: Identify any guilt you might be harbouring, knowingly or unknowinglyDiscover how it might be leading you to unwittingly self-sabotag...
Many of my clients grapple with this feeling that no one understands or has compassion for what they're going through. I might ruffle some feathers with my advice for you. But it's worth listening to the end, because when you do this, your life will transform. I'm talking with my sister, Jen Reimer, about compassion - receiving it, giving it, and having it for yourself. We get into where this seeming lack of compassion stems from, how to foster mutual compassion for those you perceive a...
Struggling to accept and love our bodies, especially when they haven’t done what society expects, is a theme that has been emerging inside my Women of Worth program. Are you content with your body that didn't birth a child? Or do you feel that it has somehow failed you? From ancient ideals to modern media, we’ve been told that motherhood is fundamental to being a woman. So, when that’s not part of your story many women begin to feel that their body is a daily reminder of what d...
It's not just parents who get tired. Childless women do too and when they are honest about feeling tired, that feeling is often invalidated by parents. We couldn't possibly be as tired as someone who has kids, right? And yet, childless women feel just as busy, burned out and fatigued. Why is that? In this solo episode, you find out: why we feel guilty when we resthow you can redefine rest in a way that will give you permission to do so more oftenwhat you can start do...
You are in for one of the most fascinating conversations I've had on the podcast so far! Sarah Roberts joined me for this episode to show us the multitude of ways that regret can show up on the childless path. She also beautifully dropped it all into a framework for us so we can really start to recognize the source of the regret and begin to release it. You are also going to experience some huge opportunities for a perspective shift on motherhood, the maternal decisions we made a...
You are gonna love my guest today - as a Canadian, to me, she's the quintessential funny, beautiful, British lady. And she's thriving solo. No partner, no kids. But she didn't always feel that way. On this episode, Lucy Meggeson, host of Spinsterhood Reimagined, joined me to share her journey from hard done by to happy as a single woman without kids. But even if you have a partner, stick with me for this one. Lucy dropped so many golden nuggets of mindset...
Today we're doing something a little different, and extra special. Most people I know just jump into New Year's resolutions and get started trying to make them happen. But this is a mistake if you want to create your best year. Before we create, we need to reflect on what exactly it is that we want. And there is so much information and inspiration held in the past year. So today, we're going to reflect. We're going to remember, acknowledge and honour all you've been through t...
Are you making this mistake that could be stopping you from experiencing your best life? Many people walk around on autopilot, thinking about the past or the future instead of being present. They make the mistake of operating on autopilot and following routines, without asking themselves what they really want to experience or how they want to feel. If this is you, you're not manifesting your best life. Manifesting a great, purposeful life requires getting intentional about what's ahead o...
Do you have a pet that feels like a child to you? Even if you don't, stay tuned, because this episode is going to blow the lid off of the "you don't know love until you have a child" sentiment that we hear from parents. I have a really special guest on this episode who is going to take us through her childless journey as someone who self-identifies as a fence-sitter when it came to having children or not. She is a client, now also a gifted coach/facilitator inside of my sig...
So many childless and childfree women hate this question. A simple "no" answer often leads to awkward silences or the other party trying to back track or fill the space. But what if you could answer this question with ease and grace and both you and the person asking the question could walk away from the conversation feeling good? That's what today's episode is all about. It's not about coming up with snide or sarcastic comments that will "put the person in their place".&nb...
