Childless And Moving Onward

It’s Not Being Antisocial, It’s Not Wanting to be Where I Can’t Socialize


Listen Later

If you’ve ever sat through a conversation and felt like you didn’t belong—this episode is for you.

Gail Miller, physician and life coach, shares what it’s like to navigate social spaces as a woman who is childless not by choice. From birthday parties to baby showers, Gail explores the hidden weight of small talk that centers motherhood—and the judgment that often follows when you choose to step away.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why child-centric conversations can feel isolating and exhausting
  • The value of seeking out spaces where you do feel seen
  • Practical ways to set boundaries while still honoring your need for connection
  • How to reclaim your place in social settings—on your own terms
  • This conversation is candid, relatable, and deeply validating. We talk about invisible grief, misunderstood choices, and the power of choosing yourself—even when others don’t understand.

    If you’ve ever left a gathering wondering if you were the problem—hit play. This one’s for you.
