Awakening Worth in Childless Women

You are about to discover how to embrace your life as a childless woman who wanted to have a family and never could.  This is where we combine mindset shifting tools with practical tips so you can break free of outdated societal norms that condition us all to believe that women without kids don’t measure up to the moms.  This is where we take action on processing grief and accelerating the healing journey so you can feel free.  When childless women awaken their self-worth, they transform from hopeless and inadequate to worthy, accepting and purposeful.   Think of this podcast as your weekly dose of lightbulb moments that will shift your perspective as a childless woman - about yourself and your innate power to change yourself, your future and even the world we live in.   If that’s what you want, then start listening!

    Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!If you want to be able to answer questions like “do you have kids” with authenticity instead of awkwardness, you must shift your mindset.
