What does it really mean to be childfree by circumstance - and how do you grieve the life you thought you would have while still creating one that feels meaningful and joyful?

In this episode, I’m joined by Adriana Rodriguez-Baptiste and Caroline Bloss from Healing Roots Together, a support community for women who are childfree by circumstance and navigating life after infertility, pregnancy loss, or unexpected childlessness.

We talk openly about the grief that doesn’t have a timeline, the identity shifts that come with letting go of Plan A, and how to find purpose, connection, and joy in a life that looks different than expected. Adriana and Caroline share how mindfulness, community support, and intentional healing practices can help women move from survival mode to actually thriving.

If you are childfree by circumstance, struggling with unresolved grief, or trying to figure out who you are after infertility, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more grounded in what comes next.

Topics we cover:

1. What it means to be childfree by circumstance
2. Grieving the loss of motherhood and Plan A
3. Finding joy and meaning in Plan B
4. Mindfulness tools to support healing after infertility
5. Why community and support groups matter
6. How Healing Roots Together helps women thrive after loss

This episode is for women who want to honor their grief without letting it define their future.
