On this episode of Talking Away The Taboo, Jordana Brown joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about...

-her journey becoming a frum single mother by choice 

-the unexpected path that led her here and how she never imagined this would be her story

-the emotional toll of letting go of “the plan” and the strength it took to move forward anyway

-the moment the decision became real, egg freezing, the heartbreak of multiple pregnancy losses, and the incredible strength she had  to keep trying

-how people judged, supported, misunderstood, and sometimes surprised her—and what she wishes others understood about this path

If you’ve ever felt like your life looks different than you thought it would—or if you’re wondering what it means to choose motherhood on your own terms—this one is for you.

This is a special mother's day episode - for all the mothers out there who fought desperately, year after year, to have a child.

More about Jordana:

Jordana is a single mom living with her yummy daughter Amalia in Israel. She made Aliyah from Queens, NY in 2014, started out in Jerusalem and moved to Tel Aviv seven years ago. After getting her Master’s in speech pathology, Jordana hasn’t practiced in 10 years and now works in marketing. Jordana enjoys wine nights, reads voraciously and lives for European travel and her Friday brunches- none of these activities have happened since Amalia came on the scene. But she’s worth it.
