Awakening Worth in Childless Women

112: How to Get Through Emotions After Speeches Like Harrison Butker's


Listen Later

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
