When a friend gets pregnant, we’re expected to be nothing but happy for them. And while we are happy, what’s rarely acknowledged is the grief that bubbles underneath: the fear of being left behind, the pain of losing the friendship as it once was, and the silence childfree women carry as we quietly mourn what we didn’t choose to lose. In this episode, I name that truth out loud: it’s okay to feel sadness, anger, and even resentment alongside joy. It doesn’t make you a bad friend. It makes you human.

Together, we’ll unpack why pregnancy is one of the few life changes where our grief isn’t validated, and I’ll walk you through what to do with those feelings: from naming your grief, to redefining (or releasing) friendships, to building communities and milestones of your own. If you’ve ever felt invisible as your closest friends step into motherhood while you remain childfree, this episode will remind you that you are not the last one left behind. You are a pioneer carving out a powerful new way of living and connecting, and your life deserves to be celebrated just as much.
