If you dread Mother’s Day and feel like the world forgets your grief—this episode is for you.
Dr. Gail Miller, physician, life coach, and speaker, holds space for the tender emotions that surface during this time of year for women who are childless not by choice. With honesty and warmth, Gail shares her own story and offers gentle guidance for navigating a holiday that can feel both invisible and overwhelming.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Mother’s Day can feel like a spotlight on loss—and how to soften its impact
- How feeling your feelings—rather than suppressing them—opens the door to healing
- You’re not alone—how shared pain can foster connection and resilience
This conversation is compassionate, grounding, and filled with hope. Gail reminds us that it’s okay to step away, to grieve, and to honor your experience in a way that feels true to you.
If you’re seeking comfort and clarity around this difficult day, you’re not alone. Press play. Let’s move onward—together.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
