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.

Part 2 of Controversial Topics continues the conversation with Andrea, Annie, and Kristen as we shift from some of the more divisive parenting opinions into the deeper layers of the Single Mom By Choice journey.
In this episode, we talk about the donor experience — including navigating the donor process, genetics, donor-conceived sibling connections, and the emotional weight that can come with making these decisions. We also discuss the reality of asking for help, why that can feel so difficult, and the importance of building a support system and village along the way.
What started as a conversation around controversial topics became something much bigger: honest dialogue, shared experiences, and unexpected connection. Whether you’re a Single Mom By Choice, considering this path, or simply curious about the conversations happening behind the scenes, this episode offers a candid look into the complexity, vulnerability, and community that can come with building a family differently.
