Michelle went from Uber Eats in bed to solo motherhood, hemophilia diagnosis and all — and shares the emotional rollercoaster behind it all.

In this raw and deeply relatable episode of No Need for Prince Charming, Michelle shares her surprising journey from self-confessed laziness to the fierce solo mum of Henry. From casual relationships and egg freezing, to miscarriage, IVF with a Filipino donor, and parenting a toddler with haemophilia — this episode explores every twist of her solo motherhood path.

Key Highlights:

From Bed to Baby – How a woman once known for staying in bed until noon found the strength to pursue solo motherhood.

The Relationship That Was Never Real – Why Michelle froze her eggs while dating a man whose parents didn’t even know she existed.

One Miscarriage and a Moment of Clarity – The pregnancy that didn’t go to plan—and how it helped her see what she truly wanted.

Choosing Her Donor With Heart, Not Just Heritage – Letting go of old expectations to pick a donor whose words felt like fate.

A Diagnosis That Changed Everything – The unexpected health discovery that reshaped her parenting journey—and her strength.
