52: Childless But Not Infertile with Emily Robbins

Each of us has our own unique path through childlessness. Many have arrived here through infertility or pregnancy loss. But some haven't. Some haven't found a partner. Some couldn't afford to have a child on their own. Or that simply wasn't right for them. There are so many reasons a woman ends up on the childless journey.
For Emily Robbins, it was a combination of circumstances. She wanted children but life didn't turn out that way. She and I had a rich conversation about her unique story and the tools she uses to help heal.
Emily is a youth minister and lover of essential oils. She offers a generous gift to listeners who'd like to learn more. Link in the show notes below.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
Do you have emotional triggers that keep you feeling angry or hurt by friends or family? Of course! We all have them after a miscarriage.
Most women just navigate through the grief wishing people would stop triggering them, waiting for the grief to go away, believing that it's out of their control.
But it's not. If you can heal the pain that's underneath your triggers, you won't have to feel like everyone is pushing your buttons. I'll show you how to do that in this episode, using snippets from my own personal journal as examples.
I also created a free downloadable step-by-step guide to healing your own triggers. You can find on my website. You'll want to keep it somewhere safe so you can pull it out anytime you feel a new trigger. It works every time!

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
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.

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
No one likes to be pitied. And childless women who wanted kids are no different. I certainly don't like it and I did feel as though people pitied me when I first began to accept that I would never be a mom. But when my clients started asking how to get past pity, I realized that I didn't feel it at all anymore and had to really dig into how I shifted my perception. Because the people around me certainly haven't changed. I did.On this episode, you're going to find out:
- what pity really is and why it feels so isolating
- how to know if you are actually being pitied and how self-pity comes into play
- how to shift your mindset so that you never feel pity again
If you are the latter, head over to Instagram and send me a DM at @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words “ep. 87” . I’ll give you the step by step.

88: Behind the Scenes of a Happy Childless Holiday
Awakening Worth in Childless Women

Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
When we want something, it's not actually that thing that we want. It's the feeling that we imagine we'll have when we have the thing. When I wrapped my head around this concept, I could use it to determine exactly what I wanted to feel and how to bring those positive emotions into the holidays.
The holidays don't have to be full of dread. They used to be for me. I'd avoid anything that had to do with kids and stuck to the adults-only parties and activities as much as I could. And then I suffered through the rest.
But then I found a way to intentionally create the holidays I wanted. For me, that was a season full of peace, joy, beauty and a little excitement and anticipation sprinkled in.
In this episode, I share:
- exactly how I shifted my mindset around the holidays and now, dare I say, love the season
- how I was able to tap into my true desires and the feelings I imagined they would bring
- the holiday traditions that bring me those exact feelings

98: What We REALLY Need to Be Talking About on International Women's Day
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
02/22/24 • 30 min
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
This episode is a bit controversial. I think there's this an expectation that if you are a woman, you are onboard with everything International Women's Day stands for. But I'm not known for just getting on board with something simply because of an expectation. Do I want women to rise? Yes. Do I want there to be equitable pay in the workforce? Yes. Do I want to see more women at the top? Absolutely!
At the same time, there are some aspects of IWD that I look at from a different perspective. I'm sharing all my thoughts on this episode and I'm curious about your reaction.
You'll hear me discuss:
- how I won't strive for equality, but I will strive for equity
- that I refuse to fight for equity and why
- why I don't expect men to solve this for us
- how to actually create a world of inclusion

61: How to Love Yourself Through Loss with Becky Barber
Awakening Worth in Childless Women
04/20/22 • 53 min
Send me a text and tell me what you're struggling with the most!
It's not easy for women to love themselves through loss. We're so accustomed to caring for others and shoving our own needs aside that when it comes time for us to support ourselves, we don't feel worthy.
On this episode, Becky Barber, co-creator of the Try Self-Love Podcast, shares her story of 6 pregnancy losses and how having living children doesn't heal the grief that came with her losses. We discuss:
- the shame and guilt that come with pregnancy loss, infertility and childlessness
- how detaching from hope doesn't make it any easier
- how to love yourself through any loss including the loss of an identity, such as "mother" for childless women
Becky is a life and relationship coach who helps women to learn to love and respect themselves despite a damaged relationship with someone they love. Through spirituality, healthy boundary-setting and a continual practice of self-love, Becky was able to break free of her own toxic relationship with her mother and now helps others to do the same.
