This is the origin story. In the first-ever episode of Parenting, Party of One, Sara takes us through the winding path that led her to solo parenthood by choice. 

From telling her middle school counselor she wanted to be a mom, to navigating three long-term relationships in her 20s and 30s, to watching friends get married and have babies while wondering when her turn would come — Sara gets honest about the dreams, the doubts, and the decision that changed everything.

Note: This is Part 1 of The Journey Begins. Enjoy, then listen to Part 2!
