I used to dread the Christmas holidays when I first learned that I wasn't going to have kids of my own. Along with all the grief the holidays brought up, I also felt like I didn't belong at the kid-centred events or even at my own family gatherings.

The holidays are probably one of the toughest times for childless women. Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place. They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions, and the middle of the football game on TV. Even a quick trip to the grocery store can seem daunting.

One of the hardest things about it might be that you've lost sight of your true self desires, so that you can imagine future holidays without all the traditions you thought you'd be creating with your kids.

Over the years, I've created a holiday season that I absolutely love. In this episode, I share my best 10 tips for you to create yours.

You'll find out:

• how to process the grief that comes up (hint: time doesn't heal)
• what to do to prepare for the potential triggers and release them
• how to redesign your holidays in a way that feels good for you

It's the holiday season here in Canada and a common belief is that "magic is for kids." And as adults, we only get to experience magic through our kids.

So, what does that mean for childless women? We don't get to experience magic?

I believe that we DO; that these are myths, and I invite you to bust them with me in this episode.

We're also going to talk about what magic feels like, looks like, and how to bring more of it into our lives.

Are you making this mistake that could be stopping you from experiencing your best life?

Many people walk around on autopilot, thinking about the past or the future instead of being present. They make the mistake of operating on autopilot and following routines, without asking themselves what they really want to experience or how they want to feel.

If this is you, you're not manifesting your best life.

Manifesting a great, purposeful life requires getting intentional about what's ahead of you, whether that's your day, your week, or your year.

Living intentionally actually begins with reflecting back; noticing with gratitude what you have manifested, what you want more of, and how that felt. It also allows you to acknowledge what you've been through.

Then, you need to intentionally call in how you want to feel and what you want to experience, so that you create your life instead of allowing it to happen to you.

This episode gives you some simple steps to manifest the life you desire.

If you're ready to stop waiting for a great life to show up and want to manifest your best year with me, join the Manifest Your Best Year in 2025 mini-program here.

Do you have a pet that feels like a child to you? Even if you don't, stay tuned, because this episode is going to blow the lid off of the "you don't know love until you have a child" sentiment that we hear from parents.

I have a really special guest on this episode who is going to take us through her childless journey as someone who self-identifies as a fence-sitter when it came to having children or not. She is a client, now also a gifted coach/facilitator inside of my signature program for childless women, a dog-mom and one of the most introspective and insightful women I've ever met.

Carla Montie and I had such a fascinating conversation about the childless experience and the parallels she sees between parenting and pet care and ownership. There are way more than you'd think and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

Something I hear all the time from childless women is, "I feel like I don't belong", or "I don't fit in".

One of the biggest mistakes I see among these women making is AVOIDING kid-centred events in order to avoid the feeling that they don't belong.

I felt this too, so I get it. I used to avoid anything to do with Santa, the Christmas parades, or any community event that was focused on children. I was afraid to feel the feelings that went along with those events.

And, I learned that this was only making me feel worse. It's because creating a barrier around yourself isolates you even further. So you feel less connected and more excluded. Until you fix the underlying issue, you'll stay like this and eventually become lonely, even bitter.

This episode is all about what this underlying issue IS, and how to transform it, so that you feel belonging no matter where you are or who you're with. You'll learn:

• What is REALLY underneath the feeling that you don't belong
• The secret to feeling like you DO belong
• My 3C's framework for shifting your sense of belonging, no matter who you're with.

If you're a childless woman, ready to dive deeper into your own sense of belonging, here are two ways to work with me:

This might be one of the most "triggering" remarks that parents make to people who don't have kids. If you wanted kids, you sure don't feel very lucky, right? In fact, you might feel pretty unlucky.

Have you had this scenario come up before? I have and I'm going to walk through the steps I used to handle it with love and kindness.

This is the last solo episode in my summer series on responding authentically to all the questions and remarks we get as women without kids. I'll share:

• the sign that you're on the "treadmill of triggers"
• how to shift your mindset and approach this question with grace
• options for responding in different scenarios

If you are someone who wants to be prepared for ALL the insensitive remarks and questions - whatever comes your way - send me a DM to @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words "episode 121" and I'll show you what you can do next.

So many childless and childfree women hate this question. A simple "no" answer often leads to awkward silences or the other party trying to back track or fill the space. But what if you could answer this question with ease and grace and both you and the person asking the question could walk away from the conversation feeling good?

That's what today's episode is all about. It's not about coming up with snide or sarcastic comments that will "put the person in their place". It's about responding with a new perspective and with love and kindness.

In this solo episode, I'll show you how to:

• get into an empowering mindset
• shift your perspective on what causes people to ask this question
• be prepared with easy answers

If you want to find out how to answer ALL the insensitive questions and remarks about women without kids, send me a DM at @sherijohnsoncoaching with the words "episode 120" and I'll give you the next steps!

If you are anything like me, you're probably tired of hearing about JD Vance and the comments he made publicly about childless women being miserable cat ladies and having no stake in America's future.

I'm not even American, and yet angry reactions to this have been filling my feed these days.

The thing is, the majority of them have been simply reactions to his comments. And my question became, "what good is this doing?"

So I'm taking a different approach on the pod this week and actually showing you how to dissipate any reaction you may have had to JD Vance's comments.

Now let's get clear on one thing. I am not on his side. I'm not condoning what he said. I just want to shift your own perspective so that you can move on and let it go.

So this is what I'm going to share with you on this episode:

• what these kinds of comments show you about yourself
• how JD Vance's comments show you about him and his beliefs
• how lashing out against him is not actually going to change the way people think about childless women

If you're ready to take take a more empowering stance when it comes to insensitive comments and questions and find out how to let these triggers roll off your back, send me a DM on Instagram to @sherijohnsoncoaching with the word “powerful”. I’ll give you the steps on how to do it.
