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.

In this episode, I sit down with relationship expert and writer Sabrina Bendory for a grounded conversation about self worth, self confidence, dating patterns, mindset shifts and the power of detachment. We explore why detachment is not about caring less, but about reconnecting with yourself so you can show up aligned, clear, and secure in every type of relationship.

Sabrina shares the psychology behind repeated patterns, why so many women chase the wrong partners, and how mindset work helps you rebuild your foundation from the inside out. We talk about the mindset shifts needed to choose yourself in any context, whether you’re dating, healing, or redefining what you will and will not accept in your life.

We also speak directly to women who are in a bad relationship but scared to leave or starting over, offering practical guidance and supportive reframes that help you find clarity, inner grounding, and the courage to take the next step when you’re ready.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles, struggling with your self worth, or afraid to walk away from something that no longer feels aligned, this episode will help you step into a more empowered, grounded version of yourself and create the love and life you truly deserve.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board certified OBGYN, Reproductive Endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in New York City. We break down what every woman should know about her reproductive health across all life stages, from egg freezing to IVF to post fertility journeys.

Dr. Lucky debunks common myths about fertility and fertility treatments, clarifies what actually impacts women and reproductive outcomes, and explains the realities of fertility journeys that most people never talk about, including the emotional and mental health toll. We also explore the quiet and often painful outcome many people face when they decide to end their fertility journey, and why that conversation deserves more visibility and compassion.

We talk about self advocacy, how to navigate misinformation, what evidence based care actually looks like, and the importance of understanding your body long before you want to start a family.

If you want clarity, validation, and grounded guidance on fertility, reproductive & women's health, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

In this week’s episode, Eboni K. Williams shares the truth behind her transformation and the choices that shaped her life. We talk about how childhood patterns influence every decision we make, why relationships can often hold you back or change the course of your future, and how ignoring red flags will always cost you more in the long run.

Eboni opens up about choosing herself, stepping out of comfort zones, and the deeply emotional realities of egg freezing and IVF. We explore the importance of self-compassion, personal accountability, and the power of community among women. She also shares how her path led her to become a single mom by choice (SMBC), and how motherhood has reshaped her understanding of growth, identity, and purpose.

Tara and Eboni also share a message for younger women around dating, relationships, and fertility, including the decisions that protect your future self.

If you’re a woman in a season of reinvention, healing, or starting over, this conversation will give you clarity, courage, and the reminder that choosing yourself is always the right choice.
