Show Notes
What if the story you were given about love, family, and motherhood was never meant for you?
In this episode, host Stacey Chillemi and guest Cheri Bergeron explore how to face adversity, release painful “fairytales,” and create motherhood on your terms — with compassion, clarity, and courage. This is a calming, practical conversation about real-life grief, resilience, and rebuilding a life that feels true to you.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
🌱 Spot the limiting stories and “fairytales” that keep you stuck
🧠 Gently rewrite your inner narrative after disappointment or loss
💛 Build self-worth and self-compassion when life doesn’t go as planned
👶 Explore motherhood on your own terms (even if it looks different than you imagined)
🧩 Take small, doable steps toward a life and family that feel aligned with who you are now
If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late for me,” or “My story is ruined,” this episode gives you grounded tools and hope to start again.
