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.

In honor of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode of Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice explores the emotional realities of motherhood—across every stage of the journey.
From fertility and infertility to pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, mental health is a thread that runs through it all—yet it’s often the part we talk about the least.
Laura is joined by Cathie from She Blooms, a practice dedicated to supporting women through the emotional complexities of fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood. Together, they dive into the layers of maternal mental health, why it matters, and how we can begin to create more space for honest, supportive conversations.
This episode is a reminder that mental health isn’t separate from motherhood—it’s foundational to it.
Whether you’re navigating this journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers insight, validation, and a gentle reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
