Awakening Worth in Childless Women

138: Loneliness Isn’t the Problem—It’s How You’re Trying to Escape It


Listen Later

Tired of feeling lonely as a childless woman? 

Most childless women feel lonely at some point or another. Loneliness is an uncomfortable feeling not only because it feels like you don't belong, but also because society today has conditioned us to believe that there's something wrong with us if we're lonely. 

Today we are flipping the script on loneliness. Loneliness is not a character flaw. It's just a sign that you're craving true connection.

The problem is, if you're lonely as a childless woman, you may be tempted to seek out the wrong kind of connection. It's called, "Common Enemy Intimacy", and if this is where you think you're finding connection, it's actually making your loneliness worse.

We're going to talk about society's reinforcing messages about lonely childless women, why we sometimes seek out the wrong connections that can make your loneliness even worse, and the counterintuitive thing to do instead.
