I make a BIG announcement at the beginning of this episode so tune in to find out more about the future of the Awakening Worth Pod. And then, the rest of the episode is for the childless woman who wonders why she still feels stuck in grief after letting go of motherhood. It's not just grief you’ve been carrying. It’s the deep, unspoken belief that your worth was tied to becoming a mother.

In this opening chapter of our final 3-part podcast series, I share the personal realization that changed everything for me: triggers are not just about grief—they’re about self-worth. And when you begin to reclaim yours, everything shifts.

We’ll explore the hidden signs of low self-worth masked as grief, and how your healing journey has always been about more than loss—it’s been about liberation.

What You’ll Hear:

• The truth about triggers and grief no one talks about
• 7 signs your self-worth is calling for attention
• Why this podcast was actually about way more than becoming a mother—it was about becoming me and inviting you to become YOU

The doors are open for the last round of the Women of Worth - a guided transformation from grief and triggers to peace and purpose. Email me at sheri@sherijohnson.ca with the word PROGRAM if you want to apply for one of the last spots.

When you're childless, midlife and menopause can feel like much more than a biological transition. It's a spiritual reckoning. Especially when the world thinks that the only value women add after menopause is "grandmother" - and you don't get to be one.

In this deeply honest episode, we’re naming what few dare to say: that for childless women, midlife and menopause come with a unique, often invisible layer of grief. Not just hot flashes—but heartbreak. Not just hormone shifts—but identity shifts.

✨ If you're silently asking yourself:

• “What’s my worth now if I’m not a mother?”
• “Will I be forgotten as I age?”
• "What's my legacy going to be?"
  …this episode is for you.

We explore:

🔹 The silent grief of childlessness that menopause brings to the surface
🔹 Why traditional wellness and empowerment models miss the mark for women like you
🔹 The myth of irrelevance—and how patriarchy and pronatalism shape our fears
🔹 How to redefine legacy, worth, and purpose on your own terms
🔹 How to Rise and Reclaim your worth and take on a soul-honouring path forward

I know that Mother's Day is one of the toughest days of the year for us women without kids.​ When I went through my first couple of Mother's Days, I followed all the advice I heard online....

Just stay off social media. Just pretend it's just like any other day. Do something nice for yourself. ​

These were all things that worked to help me push through the day, but really just amounted to band-aid solutions. They didn't actually me to fully let go of the triggers leading up to it or the pain I experienced on the day itself.

It wasn't until I started doing things differently that I actually began to enjoy it. And this week, we're replaying my unique steps for ​not just getting through the day with grace but showing up fully for it.

These are the steps that are going to help you actually feel better next year, and each day leading up to it.

My steps for getting through the day go against the grain. They'll seem counterintuitive but they work.

And if you want more, we are running the last live cohort of the Women of Worth program starting this week. If you want to apply for one of a few spots left, email me the word PROGRAM at sheri@sherijohnson.ca.
