In this emotional and insightful episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Gail Miller, a maternal fetal medicine physician and trauma-informed life coach who specializes in supporting women who are childless not by choice. Gail shared her powerful perspective on grief, explaining that it can arise not only from losing what we've had but also from losing the experiences and life paths we never got to fulfill. Her honest reflections on her struggles with infertility and societal pressures to always appear positive genuinely resonated with me as did her take on “toxic positivity.” Gail's approach to handling emotional triggers, particularly for her clients navigating high-risk pregnancies, was both compassionate and practical. She provided her specialized framework and valuable strategies for transitioning from negative mindsets to acceptance and resilience, emphasizing the importance of sitting with one's pain rather than avoiding it and eventually creating a new life, filled with joy. We discussed the concept of "the and," where Gail highlighted the coexistence of good and bad in life. Gail's personal journey, including the realization that embracing all emotions—both happy and sad—is crucial for genuine healing, struck a chord with me. For anyone grappling with loss or unplanned life paths, Gail's insights provide both validation and hope that joy and purpose can indeed coexist with grief. In this episode you will learn: How people can move through grief in a healthy wayHow her experience being childless by choice make her want to coach others What is “the and” and why it’s so important What should people NOT say to someone childless not by choiceHow people who are childless not by choice can go from grieving to accepting to thrivingHow “toxic positivity” can cause unintentional harm LINKS: Gail’s Website Gail’s Instagram

In today’s mini masterclassI tackle a challenge many of my clients and students face: staying organized when organization isn't exactly your strong suit. Because consistency is key to success with social media marketing. Here are the 3 tips I cover: Block Off Time: Set specific blocks in your calendar to batch similar tasks, like creating content, writing, video editing, and scheduling posts. This ensures you move your content through all stages of the process to the finish line.Leverage Spontaneity: If spontaneous moments inspire you, lean into them! Capture your ideas in the moment, complete all necessary steps (caption, hashtags, scheduling), and post when it's prime time for your audience. You need to hold on to some of the joy of creation!Delegate: Consider bringing in a social media manager or a video creator. They can streamline your process by handling content creation in bulk, leaving you to just handle the captions and scheduling. By leveraging these tips, whether through scheduling, spontaneity, or delegation, you can maintain the consistency that's crucial for engaging and growing your follower base. Remember, the goal is to exit the grind and find success on your own terms.
