68. The Other Side of Mother’s Day

How do you feel on Mother’s Day? 

A question often not asked. 
Conversations not always had. 

This week I’m prioritising my own wellbeing—and revisiting one of my most vulnerable episodes to date. 
As Mother’s Day approaches, I reflect on a deeply personal part of my story: the grief that came with the decision not to have children, and how illness shaped that path. 

Whether you're living with a health condition, supporting someone who is, or just wanting to understand a different side of Mother’s Day—this episode offers honesty, insight, and hope. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Illness can interrupt fertility and reshape the future you planned 
• Grief isn’t always about loss of what was—it’s also the loss of what could have been 
• A meaningful life is still possible, even without parenthood 
• Sharing these stories helps break the silence for others walking a similar path
