If you’ve ever felt reduced to your relationship with motherhood—this episode is for you.

You’ll hear the candid reflections of Gail Miller, a physician, life coach, and woman who knows what it’s like to be childless not by choice in a world that assumes every woman is a mom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why being wished “Happy Mother’s Day” can be unexpectedly painful
  • How societal assumptions about motherhood erase and exclude childless women
  • Practical tools for protecting your emotional space and setting boundaries
  • The power of reclaiming your identity and worth—beyond maternal status

This conversation is honest, validating, and deeply empowering. We talk about unseen grief, the sting of being misunderstood, and the healing power of self-compassion and community.

If you’ve ever felt invisible on Mother’s Day—or questioned your value because of what others assume—hit play.

This one’s for you.
