If looking back has ever made you grieve the life you imagined - press play.
When host Gail Miller found a box of old scrapbooks, she didn’t expect it to bring a flood of unexpected emotions. But what she uncovered wasn’t just photos - it was a portal into a life she had always imagined, but out of reach.
In this episode, Gail opens up about the bittersweet grief that can live quietly inside the childless not by choice experience - and what happens when that grief is finally given space to speak.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why grief doesn’t always look like loss - and how joy can sometimes make it sharper
- How to gently allow space for feelings you’ve tucked away
- Simple practices for processing complex emotions without judgment
- Creative ways to honor your story - even when it feels unfinished
This episode is honest, tender, and full of quiet strength. We talk about invisible wounds, memory triggers, and how to move forward with softness and self-compassion.
If you’ve ever looked back and wondered what might have been—this one’s for you.
