84: Prontalism Explained And How it's Impacting You

If you are a childless woman who feels triggered by how mom-focused and kid-centric our society seems to be, you might be stuck in the pronatalist ideology.  If you're stuck here, you often feel like you are somehow worth less than mothers, you get irritated when someone asks if you have children, you feel  as though you're treated differently at work, at church or even in your social circles. Breaking free of the societal norms and expectations that stem from pronatalism is a key piece to feeling worthy in the world.  This is why I do what I do.  Ultimately, when we are able to shift our mindset as childless women, the world we see begins to change. On this solo episode, I am going to unpack pronatalism and its influence on how we feel about ourselves as childless women.  You'll discover:what pronatalism ismy own story about how it affected my decisions on the childless paththe mistakes I was making while trying to navigate pronatalismhow pronatalism negatively affects mothers as wellwhat do to about it allMy journey is not just about sharing experiences but also about extending an invitation to you.
