You can find joy while being childless

In Finding Joy Beyond Childlessness, Lesley Pyne uses her life experience as a childless woman, the experiences of other childless women from all over the world—who she calls her storytellers, and her skills as a coach and NLP Master Practitioner to gently guide readers through their pain to help them get to the other side to find their joy.

Finding Joy Beyond Childlessness helps you:

• Understand why the story you tell yourself is important and how to change it if it’s holding you back.
  
• Learn different ways of moving through the grieving process including, letting go, connecting with your feelings and body, self-acceptance, and exploration through writing.
  
• Recognize the importance of gratitude and teach you how to find joy again.
  
• Explore how you’ve changed during the process and gently show you how to find fulfillment now and in the future.
  
  With clear and practical advice and exercises, Lesley will gently guide you to that fulfilling life you deserve, which is yours for the taking.
  
  Lesley Pyne spent the first 50-plus years of her life putting everything she didn’t want to feel in a box, including her grief following multiple failed fertility treatments and the loss of both parents. Now she says confidently ‘I absolutely love my life, the adventures I’m having, and I’m excited about what will happen next.’
