Have you ever considered the unconventional path of becoming a single mother by choice? Join me as I sit down with my dear friend, Dr. Sarah Connolly, to discuss her thought process and journey to embracing single motherhood. Sarah shares some misconceptions about the single mothers by choice community and highlights the importance of intentionality and support networks throughout her experience.

We dive into the challenges Sarah faced during her fertility treatments and share her story of freezing embryos to ensure she was making the right decision for herself and her future child. As a psychologist, Sarah offers valuable insights on managing thoughts and emotions during her journey, as well as the importance of building a support system and preparing for the unexpected. She also touches on the practical aspects of choosing a donor and the gratitude she feels for the person who helped make her dream of motherhood come true.

Finally, Sarah discusses talking to her child about their unique family dynamic and the role the donor played in their lives. Through her story, we explore the joys and triumphs of being a single mother by choice, and how to embrace the challenges and victories along the way. Tune in to this inspiring and informative conversation and learn from Sarah's journey as she navigates single motherhood with grace and determination.
