Thrive Solo The One Where I Talk To Podcast & Childlessness Coach, Sheri Johnson
My guest on this week’s podcast is the fabulous Sheri Johnson.
Sheri is the host of the Awakening Worth Podcast which helps childless women embrace their lives in spite of not having the family they always wanted. She combines mindset shifting tools and practical tips to guide women to break free of the outdated societal norms that condition us to believe that women without kids don’t measure up to Mums. Sheri is also a coach who helps childless women deal with their grief, as well as the stories and triggers that come with being childless not-by-choice.
Topics that we cover are:
- how Sheri came to be childless;
- the triggers that Sheri felt around being childless;
- how her sister-in-law being pregnant was the catalyst for Sheri’s healing journey;
- why deciding what she wanted her life to look like was so important;
- why we should all ask ourselves ‘how do I want to feel?’;
- how Sheri realised that many of the emotions associated with childlessness aren’t actually grief;
- how feeling like we don’t belong can be the biggest obstacle for childless women;
- breaking free of societal pressure, and how we go about doing this;
- how Sheri felt that she would be more acceptable to her mother if she followed the path of marriage and babies;
- why awareness is the key step in letting go of our limiting beliefs;
- why self-worth is a practice that we need to build on every day;
- why we need to practice being able to receive, including compliments and help;
- what havening is, and using it as a tool to feel safe;
- allowing feelings of grief to come up in order to move through them;
- some tips for dealing with triggers during the holidays;
- deciding how to show up in difficult situations, and choosing how we want to feel;
- feelings of exclusion, and understanding where they come from;
- how our triggers are mirrors, showing us beliefs that we have about ourselves;
- Sheri’s podcast, The Awakening Worth Podcast, for childless women.
