I started this podcast back in 2020, thinking it was about grief. I was focusing on miscarriage. It was called Love and Loss. And then as my own journey evolved, as I had to accept that I was never going to have children, I realized that I had so much more to talk about than just the grief.

And as I worked with childless women, I began to see something deeper. Beneath the grief was this equally aching emotion – and a belief: I am not enough.” I am not good enough. I am treated like a second class citizen. I am less than the mothers. This is not grief.

Then I started noticing something else… My friends with kids? They felt it too. My clients in midlife? Same story. Women navigating burnout, divorce, menopause… all wondering, "Is it just me? Why do I feel like I’m constantly hustling to be perfect, to help others, to please others – I’m always last on the list".

In this episode, you’re going to find out:

• what all this "not enoughness" is really all about
• the catalysts that shine an light on our feelings of less-than
• the deep lessons I learned from being childless (that will crack YOU open too)

I'm also going to share why I'm closing this chapter and give you a sneak peak at the amazing things that are coming next!

So many women try to fix the pain of childlessness by avoiding baby showers, cutting off triggering friends, or demanding others say the “right thing.” But what if the true revolution isn’t about protecting yourself from the world… but reclaiming your place in it?

In this second episode of our 3-part closing series (so go back to ep. 147 if you haven't listened to it yet), we unravel the common mistakes women make when trying to relieve the pain of being “othered.” We revisit the work you’ve already done by listening to this podcast and show you what’s truly possible when you move from hiding to rising.

You are not just healing. You are leading. And your very presence is actually a part of a revolution that's changing the world.

What You’ll Hear:

• 4 ways women try to relieve pain that actually keep them stuck
• The cost of organizing your life around avoidance
• A powerful reflection on your journey with this podcast
• What becomes possible when childless women stop trying to fit in—and start taking up space

I make a BIG announcement at the beginning of this episode so tune in to find out more about the future of the Awakening Worth Pod. And then, the rest of the episode is for the childless woman who wonders why she still feels stuck in grief after letting go of motherhood. It's not just grief you’ve been carrying. It’s the deep, unspoken belief that your worth was tied to becoming a mother.

In this opening chapter of our final 3-part podcast series, I share the personal realization that changed everything for me: triggers are not just about grief—they’re about self-worth. And when you begin to reclaim yours, everything shifts.

We’ll explore the hidden signs of low self-worth masked as grief, and how your healing journey has always been about more than loss—it’s been about liberation.

What You’ll Hear:

• The truth about triggers and grief no one talks about
• 7 signs your self-worth is calling for attention
• Why this podcast was actually about way more than becoming a mother—it was about becoming me and inviting you to become YOU

The doors are open for the last round of the Women of Worth - a guided transformation from grief and triggers to peace and purpose. Email me at sheri@sherijohnson.ca with the word PROGRAM if you want to apply for one of the last spots.
