Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why them and not me?”

In this episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller opens up about the ache of injustice and unworthiness that so often shadows the experience of childlessness. Through her own story, she explores the quiet question of “Why them and not me?” and the pain of watching others set aside the roles we long for.

Together, we’ll name these tender emotions, talk about why self-compassion is vital, and explore gentle ways to release the shame they carry.

In this episode, you'll learn: 

• Why feelings of injustice and unworthiness can surface with childlessness


• Why naming and sharing emotions helps ease shame


• Why boundaries are an act of self-care, not distance


• How being childless shapes your story without defining it

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your grief or questioned your worth because of your childlessness, this episode offers solidarity, compassion, and a reminder: you are not alone.
