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.

I Knew Something Wasn’t Right: Pregnancy, Delivery & Postpartum
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this deeply personal episode, I share my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey—from a physically challenging first trimester to navigating gestational hypertension and postpartum preeclampsia.
I open up about months of severe migraines and sickness, the anxiety of advocating for my health, and why I chose to keep my pregnancy private early on. I also reflect on becoming a single mom by choice, the mixed reactions I faced, and the strength it took to stand firm in my decision.
From a 51-hour induction and unexpected complications to the realities of postpartum recovery, this episode covers the highs, lows, and everything in between.
More than anything, this is a story about resilience, self-advocacy, and trusting your body.
If there’s one takeaway: give yourself permission to experience it all… not just the strength, but the softness too.
