S4:E26 - Tash & Theo


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of No Need for Prince Charming, I sit down with Tash — a midwife, nurse, and proud solo mum by choice — as she shares her empowering journey to motherhood. From deciding to go solo, selecting the perfect donor, and navigating IUI, to managing hyperemesis, birth decisions, and thriving as a working solo mum, Tash’s story is honest, inspiring, and practical.

Whether you’re considering solo motherhood, pregnant, or already parenting, you’ll take away relatable insights and confidence-building lessons from Tash’s experience.

Key Takeaways
  • Making the leap: How Tash knew it was time to pursue solo motherhood and prioritise work-life balance.

  • Choosing a donor: Using the Addam app, trusting gut instincts, and understanding how to interpret donor profiles.

  • Falling pregnant: Why Tash chose IUI, and the emotional process behind donor selection.

  • Pregnancy & birth: Managing hyperemesis, navigating induction pressure, and making informed decisions about a last-minute caesarean.

  • Life after birth: Building her village, recovering postpartum, and balancing work, breastfeeding, and daycare as a solo mum.
