68. The Other Side of Mother’s Day
Manage episode 481225354 series 3546213
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
