028. Is it ever too late to start over? In this episode, Ellie, a technology professional from Melbourne, Australia, who thought her motherhood journey was long finished. With two daughters aged 16 and 10, Ellie found herself in a new, loving relationship, but feared her age meant she couldn't give her partner a child. When he told her, "We’ll do it in the next life," Ellie decided she didn't want to wait. We dive into her powerful story of rebuilding her life and achieving a healthy pregnancy at 45.
Ellie shares how her determined mindset and her background in the high-pressure tech world helped her navigate the emotional and physical complexities of being an "older" expectant mother. We explore the transition of blended family dynamics, the joy of welcoming a son later in life, and how she managed the unique health considerations of a pregnancy over 40. If you’ve ever worried that you’ve "missed your window" or are navigating a new relationship in your 40s, Ellie’s story is a beautiful reminder that your next chapter can be your most miraculous one yet.
