🌙 Let’s Talk Chaos — The Beautiful Kind
If you’re anything like me, someone who believes in building a family on your own terms and knows that motherhood doesn’t always wait for “the perfect time” or “the perfect partner,” then this podcast has your name written all over it.
Hosted by Laura Nave, Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice is the unfiltered conversation for women who are done waiting for “the one” and ready to become a parent on their own path.
It’s real, raw, and refreshingly honest, covering everything from fertility and pregnancy to the emotional rollercoaster of raising a little one solo. Because doing it alone doesn’t mean doing it quietly.
And yes, I was thrilled to join Laura for a recent episode, sharing what I do as a newborn care specialist and how I support families through those foggy, magical, middle-of-the-night moments.
💪 What “Single Mother by Choice” Really Means
Let’s break this down because the term Single Mother by Choice (SMBC) holds so much strength and intention behind it.
When a woman chooses this path, she’s saying: I’m ready for motherhood, on my timeline. Whether through donor sperm, IVF, or adoption, it’s about deciding that the dream of becoming a parent doesn’t need to wait.
✨ Here’s what makes SMBCs so powerful:
Intentional, not accidental. Every step is chosen with thought and heart.
Prepared and practical. From finances to fertility, every angle is considered.
Solo doesn’t mean alone. Community, doulas, friends, and family become the village.
Empowered in the chaos. There’s beauty in the messy middle and the name Choosing Chaos says it all.
đź’› Why This Hits Home for Me
As the owner of Moonlight Nurturer and a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, I get a front-row seat to the magic and madness of early motherhood.
I see the love, the exhaustion, and the moments that remind you why you chose this path in the first place. For single mothers by choice, there’s an extra layer of strength because you didn’t just step into motherhood, you built it.
This podcast shines a light on those stories, the brave, the funny, the messy, and the miraculous. And as someone who supports moms through those 2 a.m. feedings and “is this normal?” questions, I can tell you: you’re doing amazing.
