Happy and Childless

Ruth Corden - What Hurts? What Helps? What Heals?

Helen Gallagher Season 1 Episode 21

Ruth Corden co hosts the podcast Finding the Funny which in just over 2 years has had 1 million downloads. Ruth is childless not by choice and has struggled for years with PCOS and endometriosis and through those years so desperately wanted to have a family.

In this episode we discuss Ruth's decision to finally stop trying and to move forward in life being intentional about finding joy. We also discuss being childless not by choice outside of the IVF journey and how the grief will always be with us but that our lives can be filled with joy and happiness if we accept where we are. 

"Childlessness is like the label in the cardigan. Sometimes it itches, sometimes it digs in and sometimes it doesn't"

We discuss how our purpose in life goes beyond parental status and that what we have to offer to others and the world around us is incredibly valuable.

Kick Start to Happy and Childless is now available and will start on 5th Feb
