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.

Beyond the Diagnosis: Tori’s Story

In this episode of Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice, Laura sits down with Tori to share her journey through endometriosis, fertility challenges, and ultimately, building her family in a way she never expected.
After years of navigating chronic pain and difficult medical decisions—including the loss of both fallopian tubes—Tori was forced to rethink what her path to motherhood could look like. Her story highlights the importance of finding the right medical support, advocating for your needs, and staying open to possibilities even when the plan changes.
From pursuing motherhood through a donor embryo to creating a beautiful, blended life with a fellow solo mom by choice, Tori’s experience is a reminder that there’s no single way to build a family.
