Description

This was an amazing episode to do. So often when talking with my clients, and even here on the podcast, I reference partners, and how we can lean on co-parenting, which is why I was so excited to talk with Jacqueline Joy about her choice to get pregnant and become a mother while single. This is such an important conversation to have, letting people of any age know that being a parent doesn’t have to depend on having the right partner in your life, and I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. Jacqueline and I discussed:

• What her journey was like knowing that she wanted to be a mom, but not finding the right partner
• What the decision to have a child without of partner does for her mentally
• How this decision doesn’t always have to be based on the proverbial ticking clock
• How she navigated the decision on how to go about conception
• How Jacqueline has built out her support system through this process
• The stigmas and difficulties of choosing to be a single parent
• and more!
