When Childlessness Fuels Self-Blame About Everything

18 minutes

Have you ever found yourself taking the blame for things that were never really in your control?

In this episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller opens up about the quiet but powerful weight of self-blame that so many childless women carry - not just about infertility, but across every corner of life.

Through honest reflection and heartfelt conversation, Gail explores how societal silence around childlessness often fuels this blame, making it easy to believe that you’re the problem when you never were.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How self-blame can quietly shape more than just your thoughts on childlessness

Why society’s silence can make grief feel like a personal fault

How self-blame creates the illusion of control in the face of loss

Why your worth extends far beyond any perceived failure

If you’ve ever felt like not having children makes you less worthy, this episode will remind you that your value has never depended on motherhood - and that kindness toward yourself is where healing truly begins.
