    #61 GRATEFUL TO BE CHILDLESS?! YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?
    Jun 25 2024
    For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed! Luke 23:29 Have you ever wondered about this particular scripture verse? As a childless woman any time I have read this or heard the priest read it in mass, my ears almost always perked up. If you are like me, then today’s chat will definitely resonate with you and hopefully enlighten you as well. Welcome sweet sister to another episode of Finding Her Happiness.

    #59 PART ONE - THE DOGPADDLE
    Jun 4 2024
    Have you ever dogpaddled in a pool or other body of water before? I will guess that yes, yes you have, at some point during your childhood or adulthood, you had the experience of dogpaddling or as others call it, treading water. Do you recall how it felt? Were you tired? Frustrated? Or perhaps just really ready to make it to the other side of the pool or shore? What about now as you sit in your grief, are you tired, frustrated, and ready to get to the other side of it? If you’re shaking your head yes, then you are in for a treat because today’s episode is especially made just for you. Welcome sweet sister, it’s time to take a dive deeper into the grieving waters of our childlessness.

  • #58 WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEING CATHOLIC & CHILDLESS

    #58 WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEING CATHOLIC & CHILDLESS
    May 28 2024
    "Are Catholic childless woman more significant or special than others who are not Catholic? While I don’t feel we are more significant or special I do feel we have an added obstacle of sorts which technically could also apply to childless Mormon women. As I am sure you know, both Mormons and Catholics are notorious for having lots of kids. It is a bit of a running joke. As a result, I feel this “obstacle” can create an added layer of grief and sadness for Catholic childless women in particular. I will use a personal example to further illustrate."

    #57 Childless in a child-filled world
    May 22 2024
    "For so many years it was so easy to focus on not having children. It can be all consuming because it's so obvious that they're not there. That oddly enough, you don't really think, oh yeah.
    I'm not going to have grandkids either. It's literally not until I hit this phase of life, until I hit my fifties and I started going through menopause and the reality that my child bearing years were officially, officially over. Like I knew they'd been over for a while now, but it is officially, done and done. It was then that all of it just kinda came crashing in my face, like, oh, okay, so... Hmm... I'm not going to be a grandmother either?"

    #56 Friend, we need to talk!
    May 14 2024
    Hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, weight redistribution. These are just a few of the oh so not fun symptoms that we as women go through during our midlife, in both perimenopause and menopause. I talk about this conversation quite a bit for two main reasons, number one, I'm in menopause. I am officially post-menopausal so it's very relevant and very important to me. The second reason I talk about this,(a good bit) is because quite frankly it's not talked about enough!
