The Unseen Pain of Father’s Day for Women Who Longed to Be a Mom

If you’ve ever felt like holidays shine a spotlight on your grief—this episode is for you.

You’ll hear the honest, heartfelt reflections of Gail Miller, a physician, life coach, and woman who knows the pain of being childless not by choice. Today, she is discussing the often-overlooked challenges that come with Father’s Day.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Father’s Day can be just as triggering for childless women as Mother’s Day
• The hidden challenges of strained relationships, complicated grief, and feeling like an outsider
• How to navigate these emotional triggers with self-compassion and boundaries
• Practical ways to protect your heart and find moments of peace during the holidays

This conversation is real, vulnerable, and filled with hope. We talk about invisible grief, coping with social expectations, and creating your own path to healing—even when life doesn’t go as planned.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your pain—or wondered how to get through Father’s Day with your dignity intact—hit play.

This one’s for you.
