Feeling lonely is one of the most common complaints I hear from childless women so if you're feeling lonely, you are definitely not the only one!

I felt lonely too when I first started down the path to permanently childless, especially once my husband seemed to have moved forward without me and didn't seem to understand what I was going through.

So I thought it was high time to talk more openly about loneliness and how to dissipate it. Tune into this solo episode to find out:

• why retreating and avoiding the situations that make you feel like an outsider is actually making you feel worse
• how shame makes its way into your psyche when you feel lonely
• the one thing that is actually going to shift things for you that you've never thought of doing

If you are done with feeling lonely and ready to have an amazing summer, even without kids, I'm opening up the Women of Worth program to a small group of women. It's only open to women who are ready to take action.

Send me an email to sheri@sherijohnson.ca with the word "summer" if you wanna find out more.

There was a time when I didn't quite feel like I had found a place within the childless community and the reason was that I had not done IVF. It seemed as though so many of the women there had tried IVF and they had this common language and terms that I wasn't familiar with.

Then I realized that there are SO many different paths that all converge on leading a life without children and yet perhaps there were other women out there who felt like I did. So on today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtains on why I chose not to pursue IVF and how I grappled with that choice.

You'll find out:

• all the reasons I decided not to do IVF
• the fears that kept me on the fence
• the judgment that came afterwards

If you're struggling with the decision between whether to quit trying to become a mom (in some way, shape or form) and embracing your life without kids, send me a DM on Instagram with the word DECISION. I'll show you how you can get off the fence.

Harrison Butker's commencement speech at Benedictine College ruffled a LOT of feathers, especially within the childfree community. There were a lot of insults thrown at him, arguments started on social media comment sections, even calls to cancel his NFL contract. Were they justified? In my opinion, it doesn't really matter.

What matters is this: how do YOU feel when you hear words like Harrison's and if it's outrage, do you know how to dissipate that? You might think you don't want to dissipate that anger, because, well, it's justified right? But what good is it, if everyone just walks away from the comment section feeling angry and nothing has changed?

In this solo episode, I'm breaking it all down:

• why you feel so outraged when you hear words like this and why they make you feel so slighted
• the mistakes that you might be making that are causing you to feel worse
• the first few steps you can take to feel relief
• how to actually close the gap between childless/childfree people and parents
