In this episode, Laura sits down with Dena to talk about the intentional choices, unexpected turns, and quiet magic that led her to solo motherhood. After years of pursuing a more traditional path to parenthood, Dena made the courageous decision to trust herself and create the life she had imagined—on her own terms.

Dena shares what solo motherhood has looked like for her—from balancing career and toddlerhood to finding her village and learning to give herself grace when things don't go according to plan. It's an honest conversation about trusting the journey, embracing the chaos, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life unfold differently than we imagined.
