If you’re somewhere between “I always thought I’d have a partner” and “maybe I need to consider another path”, you’re not alone.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Choosing Solo is my group coaching course for women exploring solo parenthood, to help you make the decision from a place of clarity, confidence and possibility.

“If I choose solo parenthood am I signing up to being single forever?”
It’s one of the biggest fears we hear from women considering solo parenthood.
And honestly? It’s completely understandable.
Because somewhere along the way, we’ve absorbed the idea that choosing to have a baby on your own means choosing a life without a partner.
But it doesn’t.
In this week’s Ask The Coach, Reema and Mel are talking about this exact fear and their answer might surprise you.
So if “What if I’m single forever?” is the thought stopping you from exploring solo parenthood…this one’s for you.
And remember: choosing solo parenthood is choosing how you become a parent. It doesn’t have to define how you spend the rest of your life.
What would you say to the woman who is holding back from solo parenthood because she’s scared she’ll be single forever?
What if I don’t know what to say or how to respond to questions or concerns?
It’s one of the biggest worries I hear from solo parents.
Because the conversations about donor conception don’t start when our children ask their first question. They begin from birth, in the stories we tell, the language we use and the confidence we build together over time.
Then as our children grow, the conversations grow with them.
And sometimes it’s not the big conversations we’re anxious about. It’s the unexpected questions. The comments from other children. The things they come home and tell us. The moments that catch us off guard.
You don’t need to have the perfect answer to every question.
But I do think there’s something incredibly reassuring about having thought about these things before they happen.
That’s why I created Solo Parenthood Conversations. A 3 week coaching course to help you feel more confident navigating conversations about solo parenthood and donor conception from birth and as your child grows.
We’ll explore the latest research, hear perspectives and experiences from donor-conceived people, and create space to think about what feels right for you and your family.
Not a script.
Not a list of things you should say.
Just the knowledge, perspectives and confidence to have these conversations in a way that feels authentic to you.
Because our children don’t need us to get every conversation perfect.
They need to know that nothing is too difficult, too awkward or too uncomfortable to talk about with us. ❤️
If you’d like to feel more confident about the conversations ahead, Solo Parenthood Conversations is for you.
✨ 3 weeks of coaching
✨ Latest research and thinking
✨ Donor-conceived perspectives and lived experience
✨ A supportive space to explore your own approach

How do we make work and solo parenting actually work together?
That’s the theme inside the Thriving Solo Membership this month: Managing your career as a solo parent.
The juggle. Fitting everything in. Prioritising. Managing the mental load. And figuring out how we can have a fulfilling career (if that’s what we want) and also be the parent we want to be.
Each month inside Thriving Solo, I share a Thrive Bite: a 10-minute coaching video designed to help us reframe how we might be viewing a particular challenge, followed by coaching questions to help us explore it more deeply.
This month’s Thrive Bite is Creating a Sustainable Working Life. Looking at how we can build a working life that supports the family life we’re trying to create, rather than constantly trying to fit parenting around work.
The full video, alongside the accompanying coaching prompts, is available inside the Thriving Solo Membership, along with an entire library of resources covering a wide range of topics relevant to solo mums and women considering solo parenthood.
Because we don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes we just need a different way of looking at it. 💗

I didn’t wake up one day and think, ‘Yep, solo parenthood. That’s definitely the plan.’
It took me a long time to get there. I went back and forth for nearly 3 years before I decided to go for it.
And having now coached 1,000+ women through the decision to become a solo parent, I know it wasn’t uncommon to feel like this.
The fears, doubts and questions I had are incredibly common.
⭐️ What will this mean for my child?
⭐️ What if I regret it?
⭐️ What if I’m making a selfish decision?
⭐️ What if I wait and it’s too late?
⭐️ Can I really do this on my own?
⭐️ What if I still want a relationship?
⭐️ What will other people think?
These aren’t necessarily things that can be answered overnight. And you don’t have to silence the fear or convince yourself that everything will be easy.
But you can work through each one.
You can separate the things you genuinely want from the things you’ve been conditioned to believe you should want.
You can explore what’s holding you back, what matters most to you, and what your own version of family could look like.
That’s exactly why I created Choosing Solo.
It’s not about me telling you whether you should become a solo parent.
It’s about giving you the space, support and tools to work through the decision for yourself, so that whatever you decide, it’s a decision you feel more confident and at peace with.
If you’re currently somewhere between “Could I do this?” and “Maybe this really is my path…”, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. 🩷
Choosing Solo is open for the next group starting 7th September

SORT IT OUT SEPTEMBER 🧺✨
Septembers theme in the Thriving Solo membership is balancing career, work and life, wherever you are on your solo parenting journey.
So last week I put a question on my Instagram Stories…
How is your house looking after the summer?
And honestly… the results made me feel A LOT better about my own house 😂
90% of you said your house was totally chaotic or could definitely do with some attention.
And then there was the 10% of you who said you were totally on top of things.
👀 WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?!
Seriously. I need to know. 😂
Because I know I’m not the only one who feels like life is a constant juggling act. Work, parenting, trying to conceive, running a business, social life, admin… and somewhere in the middle of all that, there’s the house.
And when life gets busy, the house is often the thing that gets pushed down the list.
So, rather than just moaning about it, I thought I’d do something to help. 😂🩷
For September, I’ve created Sort It Out September inside the Thriving Solo Membership.
It’s a WhatsApp group designed to give us a bit of support, encouragement and accountability to get on top of those jobs that have been building up, but in bite sized chunks.
No massive weekend clear outs.
No pressure to have a Pinterest perfect home.
No judgement. 😂
Just little jobs, a bit of motivation, some accountability and the satisfaction of getting stuff DONE.
And it’s open to everyone in Thriving Solo, whether you have children at home or not. 🩷 Although some
I’ve shared the link to join in Mighty Networks, so if your house is currently looking a bit chaotic, come and join us!
Let’s sort it out together. 💪🏻
Part 2 – Dating as a Solo Parent 💕
In this edition of Ask The Coach, Reema and Mel continue the conversation about dating as a solo parent. Sharing their experiences, perspectives and thoughts on navigating relationships when you’re raising a child on your own.
Missed Part 1? Go back and watch that one first!
And Part 3 will be live next Friday 🩷

I think we spend a LOT of time talking about what children might miss out on by being raised in a solo parent family.
The second parent they won’t have.
The things that might be harder.
The questions we worry they might ask.
And those concerns are real. There are challenges to being raised in any family structure, including ours.
But sometimes I think we forget to talk about what children can gain from growing up in a solo parent family too.
For me, that’s been one of the biggest learnings of living this life for the last 8 years.
Watching my daughter grow up and thrive, and recognising that some of those things aren’t happening despite our family structure, they’re happening because of it.
None of this means solo parent families are better.
It isn’t a competition.
And I’d never want to dismiss the things that can be difficult for our children too.
But I also don’t want us to constantly view solo parenthood through the lens of what children are missing.
Because there can be so much they’re gaining too. ❤️
Make sure you save this post for those days when you’re having a wobble and send it to the women in your life who need a reminder 🩷
