  • Summary

  • Hi friend! If you are a woman who does not have kids by chance, not by choice, this message is for you. If you had an inner desire to be a mother but never came to reality, this show is for you. If you got married at a later stage in your life, or if you are single and you never had the chance to even try, this is for you. If you were a mama at some point and suffered a loss, this is for you too. And if you want to feel like you are a part of a community alongside other women who have walked a similar path, who understand you, who see you and feel you, this is where you belong. This show is called By Chance Podcast, a space for sacred conversations with women who don't have kids by chance, not by choice. We will have conversations with brave women who share their stories with grit and resilience. We'll also bring on different guests who will help us continue to grow and guide us in our healing journey. I will share with you tools that helped me thrive over the last 20 plus years, even when I battled years of depression and anxiety. Each week, I will bring you an episode that will be a reminder that our struggles, fears, and joys are universal threads that bind us all together. This show will be heartwarming, vulnerable, fun, and educational. I'm Elizabeth Tiglao Gus, your new friend and podcast host. I am a woman who has overcome 10 years of infertility struggles, including three years of failed adoptions. So trust me when I say, I see you. I am also a social entrepreneur and a life coach, focusing on helping women thrive rather than just survive. I help women who are ready to transform their lives, empower themselves to live with purpose and radical self love. If you are ready to be part of this community, come with me. Together let's celebrate life and being a woman without being defined by the rule of motherhood. And my hope is that you will feel seen, heard, and feel less alone when you tune in. Now it's time. Let's go. Let's go.

    22. Navigating Grief and Thriving from a Psychotherapist and Coach’s View, with Nanette Riendeau
    Sep 17 2024

    In this insightful and heartfelt episode, licensed psychotherapist and mental health coach Nanette shares her journey of coming to terms with a childless future. She delves into the evolving nature of grief, the importance of self-compassion, and the powerful tools that helped her along the way. Through her acronym 'SEARCH,' Nanette offers a comprehensive framework for dealing with grief and building a fulfilling life. The conversation also explores the societal pressures of pronatalism, the significance of community, and the redefinition of personal identity beyond motherhood. The episode aims to provide support and understanding to women facing similar challenges and underscores the power of sharing personal stories.

    Nanette is a licensed psychotherapist in California and a mental health and empowerment coach worldwide. She has an MA in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Drama Therapy and an MA in Women’s Spirituality. Nanette is passionate about helping women without children identify and process their losses, dismantle harmful societal messages, and find new meaning so they can embrace their unique journey with confidence, satisfaction, and a sense of peace and purpose in the world. Nanette always thought she would be a mother, but life circumstances did not allow it to be. Her nontraditional path has brought unexpected joys and benefits and she is committed to supporting other women in the process of discovering their own paths. She believes women are not defined by their relationship or parenthood status and that each of us deserves to be celebrated for our individual gifts and experiences.

    21. Understanding Labels, Navigating Triggers, and Moving Forward with Brandi Lytle
    Sep 10 2024

    This episode featured another insightful conversation with Brandi, where we discussed various labels and terms currently used in our community-whether it's child-free, childless, or others.

    It's been about 10-11 years since she and her husband decided to stop trying for children, and she shared valuable insights into what their journey has been like.

    Brandi has also been a blogger since 2017 and shared a lot about her personal journey.

    Brandi Lytle is the founder & owner of Not So Mommy…, a multi-platform global community for the infertility and childless not by choice communities, and creator of the olive green Childless Not By Choice Awareness Ribbon. A wife, dog mom, aunt, host mom, Brandi lives in South Carolina with her husband, Dane, and fur baby, Maddie. She has redefined what momhood means to her and strives to focus on the bright sides of this imperfectly perfect life. As she redefines what it means to be childless, Brandi is embracing a new chapter in her journey, which she calls “beyond childless.” At Not So Mommy…, Brandi explores what it means to accept, embrace, redefine, and move beyond as an infertile, post-menopausal, childless not by choice, endo warrior. Her hope is to help others as they accept what is, inspiring them to embrace, redefine, and find joy.
