What It’s Really Like on a Solo Mum Society Trip to Bali

Real stories, honest reflections, and joyful chaos from the 2025 Solo Mum Society Bali trip.

In this special episode of No Need for Prince Charming, we reflect on the 2025 Solo Mum Society group trip to Bali — with stories straight from the incredible mums who came along. With 39 solo mums and 44 children, this year's trip was bigger, bolder, and filled with unforgettable moments. Hear directly from mums who overcame fears, built friendships, met donor siblings, and found community in the most beautiful way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Overcoming Fears and Creating Joy – From conquering water slide phobias to sharing adult-only dinners, mums challenged themselves and made space for fun.

  • Instant Village Vibes – How solo mums supported one another—from babysitting poolside to helping on flights and excursions—without needing to explain.

  • The Magic of the Nanny – Many mums shared how hiring a nanny allowed space for rest, massages, date-free dinners, and more meaningful connections.

  • Kids Who Just ‘Get It’ – Heart-melting moments as donor-conceived children naturally bonded with others just like them—no explanation needed.

  • A Luxury Holiday You Don’t Have to Plan – With transfers, meals, events, and even drinking water handled, all the mental load was taken off their shoulders.
