These are 5 steps you haven't heard before. You've probably heard people talk about staying off social media and opting out of Mother's Day emails. Maybe doing something nice for yourself and saying "no" to the celebrations. These are all valid things you can do to avoid feeling the pain of Mother's Day as a childless woman who wanted to be a mother.

And yet, they're all band-aid solutions. None of them will actually help you feel better next year on this day. Or throughout the year. None of them will help you to live a happy, purpose-driven, joyful life as a woman without kids every day.

My steps for navigating Mother's Day go against the grain. They'll seem counterintuitive but they work.

And if you want to take this a step further and find out my exact framework for living a purposeful, happy life as a childless woman THIS year so next Mother's Day feels amazing, email me the word "Mother's Day" at sheri@sherijohnson.ca or @sherijohnsoncoaching.

Menopause is a huge transformational time for women and another topic that we don’t talk about enough. Women may joke about their memory, or hot flashes or complain about heavy periods. But they don’t talk about the deep stuff. The vulnerable stuff. Or the scary stuff.

There is SO much going on for women during perimenopause and midlife, and childless women experience it, quite often, right alongside trying to start a family before it’s too late. That, to me, adds a whole other element.

In this solo episode, I shed light on:

• what childless women experience that is different from the norm
• why we want to hold onto our youth even more than a mother might
• how to defy societal conditioning and move through this period in your life with joy

DM me "AGING" on Instagram @sherijohnsoncoaching if you are ready to let go of societal norms so you can love your childless midlife.

It's hard to fit in when you are in the minority. Childless women over 40 make up roughly 20% of the population (depending on what country you live in). Sometimes I wonder how many of them are living in the larger cities because it sure feels like everyone around me in my little town are parents.

But what if we embraced this unchosen nonconformity? What if we unleashed the inner rebel within us and did EVERYTHING our own way? How liberating would that feel, especially if you let go of what everyone else thought about it?

In this solo episode, we'll explore together...

• the societal pressures and expectations placed on women to conform to traditional roles and identities, even after they know they won't have children
• how to overcome the fears around truly embracing authenticity, defying societal norms, and forging your own path to fulfillment
• how to uncover alternative paths for yourself and have the courage to fulfill them without feeling the need to justify it to others
• getting through the self-doubt
