I’m raising my kids to be nontraditional... not to rebel, but to remind them that life doesn’t have to follow society’s outdated script. As a single mom by choice, I’ve built a family and a life outside the mold, and I want my kids to know they can, too.

In this episode, I share:

• Why traditional “milestones” aren’t the only path to happiness
• How I normalize independence and freedom of choice for my kids
• The role of representation in raising confident, resilient children
• Practical ways you can reframe what’s “normal” in your own family

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do things “the right way,” this episode will inspire you to raise your kids with more freedom, authenticity, and possibility.

The life I have today didn’t come from following the rules... it came from breaking them.
In this video, I’m sharing the exact beliefs, traditions, and “shoulds” I had to let go of to create a life and family fully on my own terms.

As a single mom by choice, I’ve navigated judgment, pushback, and the pressure to follow a traditional path. But choosing to become the matriarch of my own story,  and lead my life without waiting for permission...changed everything.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to break free from outdated expectations and design a life you love, this is the conversation you need to hear.

📌 What you’ll learn in this video:

• The mindset shifts that made independent motherhood possible
• Why breaking certain “rules” is essential to building your dream life
• How to silence the noise and trust yourself fully

The biggest shift in my life didn’t come from a relationship.
It came from the moment I stopped centering men... and started choosing me.

This video is for the woman who’s tired of waiting.
Tired of shrinking.
Tired of organizing her life around someone who hasn’t even arrived yet (or isn’t showing up how she deserves).

I talk about:
💥 The moment I realized I was still living for male validation
💫 What happened when I chose myself, my healing, and my kids
💡 The unexpected peace, freedom, and clarity that came next
🍼 Why becoming a single mom by choice was never a backup plan, it was my breakthrough

If you're on the fence about becoming a solo mom... or just waking up to the fact that you're the one you've been waiting for, this one's for you.

I didn’t choose this life because it was easy.
I chose it because I knew you were worth everything.

This video is for my kids...one day, when they ask why I did it alone, or wonder if they were ever “missing” something.
They weren’t.
They were the reason.

I became a single mom by choice because I knew deep in my bones that love doesn’t have to follow a traditional timeline, and family doesn’t need a blueprint to be beautiful.

If you’re watching this and wondering if you can do it too…
You can.
And one day, your children might thank you the same way I hope mine will.

💛 For every woman rewriting what motherhood looks like.

People love asking how I explain the absence of a father to my kids…
So here it is: what I say, why I say it, and how I handle the questions (from strangers and from my children) with honesty, confidence, and love.

This is the part no one prepares you for when you choose to become a single mom by choice, but I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.

If you’re navigating these conversations (or thinking about becoming an SMBC) this one’s for you. 💛

In this video, I’m sharing the raw truth about what I’d do differently if I could go back to the very beginning of my SMBC journey... from mindset shifts and emotional prep to practical decisions around sperm banks, finances, and support systems.

This isn’t just about regret, it’s about empowering you with the insight I wish I had. Whether you’re still deciding or already planning your first IUI, these are the things no one tells you but you need to hear.

Let’s talk about that Justin Bieber + Hailey story... and what it reveals about the toxic messaging women have been fed for generations.

In this video, I break down how women are taught to shrink themselves, accept bare-minimum treatment from men, and ignore their own intuition. All while being shamed for choosing an empowered path like becoming a single mom by choice (SMBC).

Why is it that this kind of male behavior gets normalized, but deciding to have a baby on your own is seen as “too much”?

Let’s flip the narrative.
Let’s question the programming.
Let’s rewrite what power, motherhood, and womanhood really look like.

If you’ve ever felt judged for doing life on your terms (or if you’re a woman who’s DONE with the old rules) this one’s for you! 🔥

Thinking about becoming a single mom by choice? I’ve been there. Twice. In this video, I’m sharing the real talk I wish someone gave me: the things no one tells you, the parts I wasn’t ready for, and the stuff I wouldn’t trade for the world. If you're even thinking about going this route, watch this first.
