Childless And Moving Onward

Assuming Every Woman is a Mom - Aaargh!


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt reduced to your relationship with motherhood—this episode is for you.

You’ll hear the candid reflections of Gail Miller, a physician, life coach, and woman who knows what it’s like to be childless not by choice in a world that assumes every woman is a mom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why being wished “Happy Mother’s Day” can be unexpectedly painful
  • How societal assumptions about motherhood erase and exclude childless women
  • Practical tools for protecting your emotional space and setting boundaries
  • The power of reclaiming your identity and worth—beyond maternal status
  • This conversation is honest, validating, and deeply empowering. We talk about unseen grief, the sting of being misunderstood, and the healing power of self-compassion and community.

    If you’ve ever felt invisible on Mother’s Day—or questioned your value because of what others assume—hit play.

    This one’s for you.
