Experiencing #PregnancyLoss and then navigating life without children permanently is almost completely missing from the baby loss discourse.

❓Why isn't it getting space?
❓Why aren't our experiences being talked about more widely?
❓Why are our stories so uncomfortable for others to hear that major platforms, AND EVEN baby loss organisations aren't talking about what happens when there is no baby at the end?

↪️ I've been pushing for this narrative to be seen and heard for years! i'm so pleased to be joined by Tanya and Carrie. We'll explore this often overlooked reality and open up the much-needed #babyloss conversation.

The confronting truth we dont talk about anywhere near enough in the world of infertility and fertility treatments,

IVF does not always lead to the baby we so strongly desire and wish for.

IVF, is perceived as something you "just do" and it leads to the much wanted baby. Sadly for many people who are navigating infertility, for the many and varied reasons, won't end treatment without a baby.

The reasons for ceasing treatment and not having a baby vary from financial, psychological impact, medical, time, and not wanting to navigate donor conception.

Ceasing treatment without the much wanted baby is not "giving up" its making a choice. A choice to protect hearts, minds, relationships, finances and ultimately ourselves. Its not selfish, but it may just be self preservation for many, and absolute heartbreak and grief for all.

Talking about not having a baby through IVF, or any other fertility treatment, is not spoken about enough, but it is the reality for many.

By being honest, transparent, compassionate and realistic in the true chances of fertility treatments leading to a baby, we lead people to navigate treatments in a more effective way and feeling more empowered to make decisions about when to stop and move down a path they hadn't envisaged but that does become amazing, in a different way.

Have you stopped treatment without a much wanted baby? Or think this might be you?

Did you know there are many people out there talking openly about a life of Childless not be choice?

I have tagged some of the wonderful people I know advocating in this space, but if you know of another, please tag them in the comments.

Mother's Day is complicated for so many of us.

If you're holding grief alongside gratitude today, or instead of it, I want you to know you're not invisible to this community or me.

This day wasn't designed with us in mind. But this community was.

Whether you're mothering through loss, still waiting, carrying a choice, or loving someone the world refuses to count, we see you. 🤎

Drop a 🤎 below if this resonates, or share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

After all the choices you didn't get to make, choosing yourself is a radical and tender act.

Cultivate & Flourish is a 12-week small group coaching program for people who are childless not by choice and ready to explore what's next.

Over 12 weeks, we'll move through themes like radical acceptance, self-worth, reclaiming parts of yourself you've lost touch with, and planting seeds for what's calling you forward - with a small group of people who are also on this path.

You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't need a clear vision yet. All you need is a willingness to show up, be witnessed, and nurture those tiny sparks of curiosity.

Our spring cohort begins April 8.

There's a distinct shift that happens when you go from holding onto hope that one day parenthood will come to you, and realizing you have to let go of that dream.

So much energy moves to navigating loss, tending to grief, and finding ways to embrace a life that's so different from the one you imagined. And it's a lot to carry.

But at some point, you may notice another shift taking shape. The waves of grief are softer and hit less often. You feel a little lighter, a bit more like yourself again. You catch small sparks of joy, glimmers of possibility, flickers of anticipation about what might come next. You find yourself leaning into these moments as they appear. Honoring where you've been, while also allowing yourself to feel curious about what might grow from here.

Have you felt this too?

This photo was taken on my birthday, about a year after my hysterectomy. My grief was still there, but it wasn't as heavy, like space was opening for something new. And with that space came a creative energy and a pull toward adventure that I hadn't felt in years.

So I booked a trip to Miami, rented a convertible, and spent the weekend exploring the Everglades. (Because if you give me a choice, I'll choose the swamp and alligators every time.)

I didn't have a vision for what my life was becoming. I just knew I wanted to follow those sparks and see where they led.

That in-between place is exactly what Tanya @rest.your.heart.here and I had in mind when we created our small group coaching program, Cultivate & Flourish.

Together over 12 weeks, we'll explore who you are now and who you're becoming. It's a space to name your desires, plant seeds for the future, and gently clear away what no longer fits. Week by week, you'll nurture a vision for a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and truly yours.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need a clear vision yet. All you need is a willingness to follow the threads of your curiosity.

We start April 8 and would love to have you join us. Register by March 18 to save on registration. Link in bio.

Redefining Legacy: Grief, Identity, and Life After Childlessness

In this episode of The Layers We Live, I sit down with Tanya Hubbard @rest.your.heart.here , a counsellor and advocate, to explore what it means to live a full, meaningful life when motherhood doesn’t unfold as planned.

Together, we talk about the grief that often goes unspoken, the identity shifts, the complicated emotions, and the courage it takes to rewrite your story when the one you imagined slips away.

Tanya shares her perspective on the importance of language, community, and creating space for those navigating life without children, not by choice, but by circumstance.

This conversation is tender, honest, and full of wisdom about finding belonging in unexpected places.

For many of us, the path to childlessness was filled with decisions we didn’t want to make - or that were made for us.

Cultivate & Flourish is about reclaiming choice.

It’s a 12-week small group coaching program for those in that in-between space, where grief has softened, and you're ready to follow small sparks of curiosity and possibility.

It's a place to name your desires, plant seeds for the future, and gently clear away what no longer fits.

Week by week, you’ll nurture a vision for a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and authentic to you.

We’ll move gently, with space to reflect, grow, and be witnessed. You’ll be surrounded by others who are tending to their own becoming too - people who understand the complexity of this path and are ready to flourish in new ways.

Early bird pricing ends tomorrow, August 15 and there are just 3 spots left.

If you’re curious about what might grow if you gave yourself the space and time to explore, we’d love to welcome you inside Cultivate & Flourish.
