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 as insensitive, and finally, how this practice can transform your life.

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 didn't happen. And to deal with this kind of judgement, they disconnect from their bodies.

In this episode, we'll find a way to honour the incredible bodies that carry us through life, and forgive them if they haven’t behaved the way we wanted them to, or they don’t look the way we want them to.

Then we'll explore how tapping into your body’s wisdom can lead you to profound self-love, joy, and acceptance.

Have a listen and share it with your friends if it's helpful - childless or not.

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 rest
• how you can redefine rest in a way that will give you permission to do so more often
• what you can start doing today to practice resting without guilt

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 as childless women and the identities we carry forward.

This is a long one, but it's a good one.

You'll recognize Sarah as a very active and well-known member of the childless community. She is the founder The Empty Cradle, her counselling and advocacy service for childless women, ambassador of World Childless Week and facilitator of Gateway Women's Reignite Weekends in Australia. Sarah lives on a semi-rural property, she paints, plants trees and loves juicy conversations about life (as you'll hear on this episode). Sarah is deeply passionate about the human experience and what it means to live a good life.

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 this year, what you've accomplished, and what you've learned.

I offer you a meditation in this episode to help you relax into knowing what you want to keep from 2024 and letting go of what you don't. I recommend listening in a quiet space. Enjoy!

I used to dread the Christmas holidays when I first learned that I wasn't going to have kids of my own. Along with all the grief the holidays brought up, I also felt like I didn't belong at the kid-centred events or even at my own family gatherings.

The holidays are probably one of the toughest times for childless women. Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place. They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions, and the middle of the football game on TV. Even a quick trip to the grocery store can seem daunting.

One of the hardest things about it might be that you've lost sight of your true self desires, so that you can imagine future holidays without all the traditions you thought you'd be creating with your kids.

Over the years, I've created a holiday season that I absolutely love. In this episode, I share my best 10 tips for you to create yours.

You'll find out:

• how to process the grief that comes up (hint: time doesn't heal)
• what to do to prepare for the potential triggers and release them
• how to redesign your holidays in a way that feels good for you

It's the holiday season here in Canada and a common belief is that "magic is for kids." And as adults, we only get to experience magic through our kids.

So, what does that mean for childless women? We don't get to experience magic?

I believe that we DO; that these are myths, and I invite you to bust them with me in this episode.

We're also going to talk about what magic feels like, looks like, and how to bring more of it into our lives.
