Have you ever felt the quiet ache of a dream that didn’t come true—and wondered how to keep going?

In this honest and compassionate episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller opens up about the deep emotional weight of being childless not by choice. As a physician, life coach, and someone who’s walked this path, Gail explores the invisible grief, the shame we carry, and the silent pressure of expectations we never agreed to.

Together, we’ll unpack what it means to face a future that looks different from what you imagined—and how to find hope, healing, and meaning in the life you do have.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How societal expectations shape our identity and amplify our grief


• Why unacknowledged loss can feel so isolating - and what helps


• A new way to see your story when motherhood isn’t part of it


• Practical tools to help you reclaim your voice and worth

If you’ve ever felt like your story ended when motherhood didn’t happen - this episode is here to remind you: it didn’t.
