Awakening Worth in Childless Women – Details, episodes & analysis

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

This might be one of the most "triggering" remarks that parents make to people who don't have kids.  If you wanted kids, you sure don't feel very lucky, right?  In fact, you might feel pretty unlucky. 

Have you had this scenario come up before?  I have and I'm going to walk through the steps I used to handle it with love and kindness. 

This is the last solo episode in my summer series on responding authentically to all the questions and remarks we get as women without kids.  I'll share:

• the sign that you're on the "treadmill of triggers"
• how to shift your mindset and approach this question with grace
• options for responding in different scenarios

If you are someone who wants to be prepared for ALL the insensitive remarks and questions - whatever comes your way - send me a DM to @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words "episode 121" and I'll show you what you can do next.

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".  It's about responding with a new perspective and with love and kindness. 

In this solo episode, I'll show you how to:

• get into an empowering mindset 
• shift your perspective on what causes people to ask this question
• be prepared with easy answers 

If you want to find out how to answer ALL the insensitive questions and remarks about women without kids, send me a DM at @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words "episode 120" and I'll give you the next steps!

Download your free guide to Finding Purpose Beyond Parenthood: Getting Through Grief and Triggers to a Life of Meaning and Joy!

Last week I talked about how purpose is not something you "find".  It's also not a singular mission.  It's not a destination.  And it doesn't have to be big.  

Once you begin to practice all the things that I outlined that will bring you a sense of meaning and purpose, you may find that you are still struggling.  It might mean that there is something standing in the way. 

Identifying your personal obstacles is the first step.  In this episode I share:

• 4 possible obstacles that may be standing in the way of your purpose
• 3 counterintuitive ways to remove them
• what do do next to solidify your purpose

My last miscarriage was 5 years ago.  3 years later, I shifted my business toward helping women recover emotionally and spiritually from grief following a miscarriage. Since then, I've been holding in a few secrets. I was afraid of what you'd think if you knew these secrets. But in this episode, I'm opening up my heart and sharing all.

After I had my first miscarriage, I didn't join a support group.  I didn't look for online resources for navigating grief after a miscarriage.  I didn't go to therapy, at least not right away and not because I thought I needed help recovering from my miscarriage.  I did nothing to try to help myself heal.

In this episode, I'm going to tell you why I didn't do any of these things, what belief I had that kept me from from actively working on my grief and what it meant for my emotional health.

One of the complaints I here most often after a miscarriage is how challenging it is to keep your relationship together.  It might feel like your partner is moving forward more quickly than you after your miscarriage.  Or at least grieving very differently.  And it can lead to misunderstandings and resentment.

But your partner may need more support than you realize.

In this episode, I dig into some of the thoughts running through your partner's mind after a loss and the emotion that underlies those thoughts.  It's going to help you get a better understanding of how your partner might be feeling and, even better, inspire some compassion for him or her.

Do you have emotional triggers that keep you feeling angry or hurt by friends or family?  Of course!  We all have them after a miscarriage.

Most women just navigate through the grief wishing people would stop triggering them, waiting for the grief to go away, believing that it's out of their control.

But it's not.  If you can heal the pain that's underneath your triggers, you won't have to feel like everyone is pushing your buttons.  I'll show you how to do that in this episode, using snippets from my own personal journal as examples.

I also created a free downloadable step-by-step guide to healing your own triggers. You can find on my website.  You'll want to keep it somewhere safe so you can pull it out anytime you feel a new trigger.  It works every time!

I share with you my absolute best tools for healing after a miscarriage or infertility in this episode.  I call them miraculous because they really are.  They changed my entire life.  And drastically.

After my first miscarriage, I had no idea how to heal emotionally from my loss.  I did what I'd heard others say to do: keep busy, get back to work, avoid talking about it.  And none of that worked.  I believe that I simply learned to adjust to the empty feeling inside of me. I didn't actually heal from it. 

I want you to heal.  Once I learned the tools that would help me heal, I used them voraciously.  And they worked.  They still work. I use them all the time, whenever I feel a trigger, whether it stems from my losses or from something else.

Listen to this episode to find out my four best tools for healing after a miscarriage.
