What happens when the miracle baby never comes? In this deeply honest and soul-stirring episode of Radiant Resilience, Tawny is joined once again by writer and childless-not-by-choice advocate Carrie Hoskins for a vulnerable conversation about life after infertility.
Carrie shares her journey of writing her memoir, navigating friendship dynamics, facing identity crises, and finding joy, meaning, and purpose in a life she never planned for. Tawny and Carrie dive into the nuances of healing without a “happy ending,” what it means to reclaim your voice after loss, and how grief, humor, and even a spontaneous road trip can coexist.
Together, they explore:
- Why adoption isn’t always the answer to infertility
- The identity crisis of not becoming a parent
- The power of creativity in healing
- Rebuilding friendships (or walking away)
- The invisible weight of unsolicited advice
This episode is for anyone navigating grief, change, or the path of the unexpected. You are not alone.
