Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice
Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice — the podcast for women who are done waiting for “the one” and ready to become a parent on their own damn terms. We’re talking fertility, pregnancy, the emotional chaos, and the village it takes to raise a kid.
Sometimes you cry in the bathtub. Sometimes you're crying because your toddler bit you. And sometimes, you cry because you chose all of this.
Unfiltered conversations about solo motherhood—because doing it alone doesn't mean doing it quietly.

Lara’s Story: Pregnancy, Loss, and Finding Light in Lockdown - Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part Two of Lara’s journey, we step beyond the delivery room and into the tender, vulnerable chapter of bringing Max home. With the world still deep in the pandemic, Lara navigates early motherhood in isolation—learning to care for a newborn while processing all she endured to get here.
This episode explores the messy, beautiful realities of the newborn phase, the emotional shifts that accompany new motherhood, and the ways Lara began to rebuild support and connection during a time when community felt out of reach. We follow Max’s early growth, Lara’s own evolution, and the intentional, sometimes unexpected ways she began creating her village.
Part Two is about healing, adaptation, and discovering who you become when life finally gives you the thing you’ve been fighting for.
