140: It's Not Grief That's Keeping You Stuck
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
03/29/25 • 25 min
This is something most childless women don't realize, and it's the thing that is keeping them stuck.
The grief you feel as a childless woman is real, but there’s something much bigger at play.
So many childless women I talk to tell me they feel stuck. They think it's grief. But they're wrong. I'm going to tell you why and the key to becoming unstuck.
The truth is, there are silent forces that have affected the way you view yourself, and they are the culprit. They are constantly running in the background, telling you that you are not worthy if you're not a mother.
In this episode, I'll give you 5 signs that these forces are at play in your life, and give you the key to getting on the path to freedom.
I call it the Unbecoming Blueprint, and the women who go through it feel lighter, more self-assured, and FREE.

Listen to this episode to find out:

77: The Missing Ingredient to Creating a Bright Future (and Present!)
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
09/22/23 • 18 min
There's this misconception out there that if you can get past the grief of your unexpected childless circumstances, your future will somehow just appear brighter. But unfortunately that's not true in most cases.
You've probably come across women in their 50's and 60's who are still struggling to feel worthy, happy and confident in their lives. Do you really want to go another 5, 10 or 20 years of living life not quite happy?
No! You deserve to be joyful, not just in your future, but right NOW in the present. In this episode, you'll find out:
- the story of living my entire life as it landed on my plate - very little of it was truly intentional - and where that landed me
- the mistake many childless women make when thinking about their future
- the first three steps to manifesting joy in the present, not just the future
What if I told you that you could still have a bright future without children? It's all about identifying your desires and taking actionable steps towards achieving them. To support you on this journey, I'm introducing my Women of Worth group immersion. It's a group coaching experience that will support, empower and guide you towards embracing your childless future and present.

108: The Hidden Things You Didn't Know You Were Grieving
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
05/17/24 • 30 min
Many childless people don't even realize they are grieving. Who would have known you can grieve the loss of an imagined future? What I find is that many women without kids, even those who choose not to have them, feel some sort of grief and it's not always the loss of that future. Identifying what specifically you're grieving is key to processing it.
In this solo episode, I'm giving you the first step of the Grow Through Grief pillar of my framework: identify what hidden grief might be lying under the surface. That is, after you realize or admit that you are feeling grief.
I'm sharing 7 different less-obvious things you might be grieving and didn't even know it. Many of these will resonate even with those who chose not to have kids, or those who are sort of ambiguous about it. So have a listen no matter what your circumstances.

112: How to Get Through Emotions After Speeches Like Harrison Butker's
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
06/17/24 • 34 min
Harrison Butker's commencement speech at Benedictine College ruffled a LOT of feathers, especially within the childfree community. There were a lot of insults thrown at him, arguments started on social media comment sections, even calls to cancel his NFL contract. Were they justified? In my opinion, it doesn't really matter.
What matters is this: how do YOU feel when you hear words like Harrison's and if it's outrage, do you know how to dissipate that? You might think you don't want to dissipate that anger, because, well, it's justified right? But what good is it, if everyone just walks away from the comment section feeling angry and nothing has changed?
In this solo episode, I'm breaking it all down:
- why you feel so outraged when you hear words like this and why they make you feel so slighted
- the mistakes that you might be making that are causing you to feel worse
- the first few steps you can take to feel relief
- how to actually close the gap between childless/childfree people and parents

115: Let's Talk Terminology for Women Without Kids
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
07/08/24 • 24 min
Childless? Childfree? Woman Without Kids? Take your pick!
I've been really curious about how women who don't have kids and wanted them identify themselves. Some appear to be really attached to the Childless Not By Choice term, and yet my own experience and in the multiple discussions we've had in my group program, childless seems to make us FEEL less.
In this solo episode, I unpack all the different terms, the fact that it's not as black and white as childfree versus childless, and how to detach yourself from the terminology altogether.
If you are someone who wants to have this kind of discussion openly and lovingly with other "childless" women, summer is the perfect time to join the Women of Worth program. Imagine how much better your summer could look with the right support through grief and to manifest your best life? Send me an email or a DM with the word "podcast 115" and I'll share the details with you.

124: How to Manifest Your Best Life in 2025
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
12/09/24 • 22 min
Are you making this mistake that could be stopping you from experiencing your best life?
Many people walk around on autopilot, thinking about the past or the future instead of being present. They make the mistake of operating on autopilot and following routines, without asking themselves what they really want to experience or how they want to feel.
If this is you, you're not manifesting your best life.
Manifesting a great, purposeful life requires getting intentional about what's ahead of you, whether that's your day, your week, or your year.
Living intentionally actually begins with reflecting back; noticing with gratitude what you have manifested, what you want more of, and how that felt. It also allows you to acknowledge what you've been through.
Then, you need to intentionally call in how you want to feel and what you want to experience, so that you create your life instead of allowing it to happen to you.
This episode gives you some simple steps to manifest the life you desire.
If you're ready to stop waiting for a great life to show up and want to manifest your best year with me, join the Manifest Your Best Year in 2025 mini-program here.

127: The Key to a Beautiful 2025 is Reflecting on 2024
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
12/29/24 • 23 min
Today we're doing something a little different, and extra special.
Most people I know just jump into New Year's resolutions and get started trying to make them happen. But this is a mistake if you want to create your best year.
Before we create, we need to reflect on what exactly it is that we want. And there is so much information and inspiration held in the past year. So today, we're going to reflect.
We're going to remember, acknowledge and honour all you've been through this year, what you've accomplished, and what you've learned.
I offer you a meditation in this episode to help you relax into knowing what you want to keep from 2024 and letting go of what you don't. I recommend listening in a quiet space. Enjoy!

121: The Keys to Responding to "You're So Lucky You Don't Have Kids"
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
08/19/24 • 27 min
This might be one of the most "triggering" remarks that parents make to people who don't have kids. If you wanted kids, you sure don't feel very lucky, right? In fact, you might feel pretty unlucky.
Have you had this scenario come up before? I have and I'm going to walk through the steps I used to handle it with love and kindness.
This is the last solo episode in my summer series on responding authentically to all the questions and remarks we get as women without kids. I'll share:
- the sign that you're on the "treadmill of triggers"
- how to shift your mindset and approach this question with grace
- options for responding in different scenarios
If you are someone who wants to be prepared for ALL the insensitive remarks and questions - whatever comes your way - send me a DM to @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words "episode 121" and I'll show you what you can do next.
