I recently sat down for a chat with Sheri Johnson of the Awakening Worth podcast, who writes:
Have you ever had a deeply personal dream not come true? Have you felt pressured by societal expectations conflicting with your own path? Join us on a journey with Stephanie Joy Phillips, the incredible head and founder of World Childless Week, who will share with us her journey of not becoming a mother. As a child, Stephanie dreamed of motherhood, but life led her in a different direction - to create a community for childless women, providing support for those who share her experience.
In this episode, Stephanie and Sheri discuss:
