Chasing Happy

Monthly Diary Updates (November)


Listen Later

In this month’s diaries episode, I’m closing out season one of Chasing Happy with a really honest, really tender life update. I share why I’ve decided that 25 episodes and six months feels like a natural pause point, what’s coming up with my move to California, and how I’m thinking about coming back even better in season two.

I also finally spill the “nausea-level nervous” news I teased on Facebook: how I decided to try to get pregnant in a completely new way this cycle (yes, the old-fashioned way with a donor), what that actually looked like logistically and emotionally, and why it felt both terrifying and deeply aligned. I talk about being in the two-week wait, starting a binge eating support group, shifting my focus from weight loss to my actual relationship with food, and the bigger theme underneath it all—giving myself permission to change my mind, over and over, even when I thought I had everything perfectly planned out.

Key Takeaways / Themes

  • Season one wrap: why I’m pressing pause after 25 episodes and six months, and how I’m thinking about season two.
  • The behind-the-scenes of trying to conceive as a single mom by choice, including using a donor and choosing “natural” conception this time.
  • The difference between frozen and fresh sperm, timing, and why that mattered in my decision-making process.
  • How my move to California and fertility clinic transfer influenced (and complicated) my timeline.
  • Why I joined a binge eating support group and shifted from focusing on weight loss to healing my relationship with food.
  • The bigger permission slip: you’re always allowed to change your mind, even after you’ve made a plan that felt “right” before.
