87: How to Let Go of Being Pitied as a Childless Woman

Awakening Worth in Childless Women

Send me a text and tell me your favourite thing about the pod!

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

I’m really curious to hear how this episode lands for you. It’s a tough topic and one that comes up a lot. If it has for you, then my next question for you is this: are you going to continue to just plow through and hope that you just wake up on the other side of it all ? Or will you take some action, and figure out a way to let go of feeling pitied?

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.
