2024-07-0121 minAwakening Worth in Childless Women113: Why I Decided Against IVFThere was a time when I didn't quite feel like I had found a place within the childless community and the reason was that I had not done IVF. It seemed as though so many of the women there had tried IVF and they had this common language and terms that I wasn't familiar with. Then I realized that there are SO many different paths that all converge on leading a life without children and yet perhaps there were other women out there who felt like I did. So on today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtains on w...

2024-05-1030 minAwakening Worth in Childless Women102: Navigating Anger as a Childless WomanAnger is an emotion that comes up a lot with my childless clients who wanted kids. Anger can be a really complicated emotion because it's not only an emotion in and of itself, but it can also disguise other emotions. What makes it even tougher to manage is that most little girls are taught not to express the tough emotions. Anger is something boys are allowed to show, but not girls. Yes, even in today's society. So you might be someone who was conditioned to suppress anger, and maybe other negative emotions as well. Join me on...

Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place. They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions, and the middle of the football game on TV.

Power of After ShowAuthentic High Energy without Lattés with Sheri TraxlerWhen you think about high energy, what comes to mind first? For some it's a Red Bull energy drink with between 80 and 111 mg. of caffeine. For others it's supplements like creatine which creates bursts of speed and energy before weight-lifting. And for others it could be sugar or chocolate, my favorite. In interviewing Sheri Traxler, certified intuitive eating counselor, we learn about creating authentic high energy not based on shortcuts of energy that create a roller coaster of highs and lows throughout a day. Her message is not one of diets but of creating a high energy...
