Have you ever had a deeply personal dream not come true? Have you felt pressured by societal expectations conflicting with your own path? Join us on a journey with Stephanie Joy Phillips, the incredible head and founder of World Childless Week, who will share with us her journey of not becoming a mother. As a child, Stephanie dreamed of motherhood, but life led her in a different direction - to create a community for childless women, providing support for those who share her experience.
In this episode, Stephanie and Sheri discuss:

• the unique challenges childless women face, whether they're rooted in biology, finances, society, or mental health
• some of the lesser known reasons that women remain childless
• the therapeutic power of connection and expression

Stephanie shares how writing and reaching out to others can alleviate the weight of grief and fortify your emotional strength. We celebrate World Childless Week's incredible expansion since its inception in 2017 and the invaluable emotional refuge it provides for those affected by childlessness. Let's honor every woman's worth, whether they are a mother or not, and learn more about this often misunderstood community.
