Happy and Childless

Tanya Hubbard : Acceptance throughout a Childless Journey

Helen Gallagher Season 1 Episode 13

Tanya Hubbard is a registered therapeutic counsellor and coach specialising in supporting childless not by choice men and women.

In this episode we delve into the role that acceptance plays within our childless journey. On surface level acceptance is spoken about from a position of just accepting not having children but on a much deeper level acceptance spans across so many areas of our lives. We discuss accepting that we did enough with the information we were given in addition to accepting that, wherever we are in life now, we are worthy and whole as we are and very interestingly acceptance that the mixed emotions felt throughout the journey of life exist regardless of being childless or not and that it is how we perceive the situations, at the cause of these emotions, which determine our ability to cope and thrive.

This conversation is very much filled with insights into the coping mechanisms used to help us reach a happier place and a very honest view of our experience of a childless life.
