Have you ever been called selfish for not having children? This episode is for you.
In this honest and compassionate conversation, host Gail Miller unpacks the damaging myth that women without children are inherently selfish. Whether childless by choice or by circumstance, so many women are unfairly judged - by others and sometimes even by themselves.
Gail challenges this outdated narrative and offers a new perspective - one grounded in truth, integrity, and the full humanity of women who live outside traditional roles. This episode is both a loving call-in and a powerful call-out: It’s time to let go of shame, reclaim your worth, and rewrite the story.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
* Why selfishness is a personality trait - not a parental status
* How harmful stereotypes take root and quietly affect your self-worth
* Ways to stay grounded in your truth - even when the world misunderstands you
* Practical tools to release internalized judgment and step into your full value
If you’ve ever felt like you had to justify your choices—or your existence—because you don’t have children, press play. You are not selfish. You are enough.
