Awakening Worth in Childless Women

82: Expecting Empathy From Loved Ones May Be the Worst Way to Get Support


Listen Later

If you’re grieving your dream of becoming a parent, you probably assumed at least someone amongst your family and friends would provide you with the support and empathy you need.  And yet, my own experience, and that of most of my clients, is that their closest friends and family - and sometimes even their partner - are not able to offer empathy or understanding.  

This is why looking for support among those closest to you – or worse, expecting it from them – might not be the best way to get the support you need.  

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

  • Why support may not come from your loved ones
  • Why childless women tend to minimize or invalidate their feelings and struggles
  • How to source genuine support
  • What to do to truly accept and receive support

Impact Question: Have you deemed yourself, or your grief, not worthy of receiving support? If you've answered yes, send me a DM with the word "support" and I'll show you how to get the support you need, whenever you need it.
