Childless And Moving Onward

When Your Friends Have Children


Listen Later

Have you ever felt weighed down by grief, envy, or the pressure of what society expects?

In this episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller shares her own journey through the raw emotions of being childless not by choice. With honesty and compassion, she invites you to explore your feelings without judgment and reminds you that your worth is never defined by your circumstances.

Together, we’ll talk about the power of self-compassion, how to carry the ache without letting it consume you, and why healing begins when we allow ourselves to be fully seen.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why envy is human but doesn’t define who you are
  • Why societal expectations add guilt to grief
  • How to separate your worth from emotions like envy
  • How emotions serve as signals, not measures of your value
  • If you’ve ever asked, “Why not me?” this conversation offers gentle guidance, solidarity, and hope for the road ahead.

    Subscribe now for real talk, compassion, and hope delivered every Tuesday.
