In Episode 2, I meet Genevieve Roberts, solo mum of 2 and author of 'Going Solo: My Choice to Become a Single Mother Using a Donor'
I met Genevieve at The Fertility Show in 2019 where I heard her read an extract from her book and it gave me goosebumps as I heard her speak. So much of what she said resonated with me and my own experiences.
Gen regularly shares her experiences and views on solo motherhood through her work as a journalist, writing for a variety of publications.
In this episode we cover:
- Fertility tests as a trigger to make the decision to go solo
- Dating and flirtations whilst wanting a baby
- The concept of not settling
- Being proud of your decision
- The amazing reactions from friends and family
- Challenging the traditional family set up
- Hopes and practicalities of meeting a partner in the future
I highly recommend Going Solo for anyone who is considering solo motherhood. It's a great mix of Genevieve's personal experience and interviews on the subject with a number of experts.
