89: Feeling Like You Don't Belong as a Childless Woman is Not Grief

Awakening Worth in Childless Women

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

It's pretty normal to feel like you don't belong when you're a childless woman. We grow up thinking that eventually, we'll belong to the mom club. And then it leaves us with a pretty big feeling of exclusion when we don't get to join.
Most people in the childless space, assume that this feeling of not fitting in is a part of the grief and that once the grief starts to lift, we'll also start to feel more included. But that is not the case.
In this episode, I'm going to share :

• why belonging is actually a deeply seated survival need
• how and why does this survival instinct show up when our basic needs for survival are already met
• 3 ways to hone your own sense of belonging without relying on the people around you to include you

If you are ready to start taking action toward developing your own sense of belonging, DM me "ep 89" and I'll share how you can take this deeper!
