Tell Them to Put the Pity Away and Try Support Instead
If you’ve ever felt the sting of someone’s pity—this episode is for you.
In Episode 59, Dr. Gail Miller gets real about the kind of pity that too often finds its way to women who are childless not by choice. Drawing from her own story, she unpacks why pity—no matter how well-intentioned—can deepen feelings of grief, shame, and isolation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
This conversation is thoughtful, validating, and full of empowering insights. We talk about emotional boundaries, reclaiming dignity, and building resilience in the face of misunderstanding.
If you’ve ever wished people would see you instead of feeling sorry for you—hit play.
You deserve to be met with respect, not pity.
