Ep 31: The cost (and gift) of being different with Kellie Glab
“What if being different wasn’t something to fix… but something to honour?”
In this conversation, Kellie Glab speaks openly about choosing a life outside the norm — a life without children, without conformity and without the kind of understanding she often sees others receive. We explore the quiet grief that can come with that, and the deep self-compassion it takes to sit with difference instead of turning away from it.
This one’s about identity, choice (and the absence of it), and the lifelong work of learning to love the parts of ourselves that don’t fit the mould.
🔥 Some moments that hit hard:
“It’s not that I chose not to have kids… it just wasn’t there. And that difference can feel so lonely.”
“I’ve spent so much of my life trying to fit in — because I hadn’t accepted that I was different.”
“It’s taken me almost 40 years to love myself… but I do now. And I finally believe I’m worth it.”
