Who Ties Your Laces?

If you’ve ever felt judged for a life you didn’t choose—this episode is for you.

In Episode 58, Dr. Gail Miller opens with a quote that hits home: “Don’t let anyone who hasn’t been in your shoes tell you how to tie your laces.” From there, she dives into a powerful conversation about empathy, boundaries, and self-trust for women who are childless not by choice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How unsolicited advice often invalidates lived experience—and why it matters
• The emotional toll of being judged by people who haven’t lived your reality
• Why setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s an act of self-preservation

This episode is direct, validating, and full of practical wisdom. We talk about criticism, emotional resilience, and the courage it takes to reclaim your story.

If you’ve ever felt silenced or misunderstood—hit play. You don’t have to explain your life to anyone.
