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.

Life Is...Full: Alex's Story (Part One)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Life is beautifully full—and sometimes incredibly hard. In Part One of Alex's story, we explore what it looks like to intentionally build a life that makes room for both joy and grief. Alex shares how she prioritizes creating meaningful moments with her daughter, Tilly, filling their days with fun, connection, and adventure while navigating the realities of solo motherhood.
We also talk about finding your village in both expected and unexpected places, and why building a "hired village" has been essential in helping Alex manage the day-to-day demands of work, home, and motherhood. Finally, Alex opens up about navigating grief while raising a toddler and the ways motherhood has shaped her healing journey.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life can hold many things at once—love and loss, chaos and calm, grief and joy—and still feel wonderfully full.
