Motherhood—especially solo motherhood—rarely unfolds exactly the way we imagined. Fertility treatments don’t always go as planned, babies don’t follow sleep schedules, and even our best-laid visions of how life “should” look often get disrupted.In this episode, I’m sharing one of our private Village Podcast episodes on the theme of Managing Expectations and Embracing Flexibility. Inside The Village, each month we take on a broad coaching topic that applies across every stage of the solo motherhood journey, from considering this path to parenting young children. Along with a monthly coaching episode like this one, members also receive a companion workbook and access to an entire library of past themes.In today’s conversation, you’ll hear about:<ul><li>Releasing unrealistic expectations of perfection, both in parenting and in life</li><li>Building resilience when things don’t go according to plan (another failed transfer, a toddler meltdown, or changes in your own path to motherhood)</li><li>Practical ways to adjust plans with more ease and less pressure</li><li>Learning to “ride the wave” of unpredictability, even when it feels uncomfortable</li></ul> Whether you’re just beginning to imagine solo motherhood or you’re deep in the day-to-day of raising your child, this episode will help you soften rigid expectations, prioritize what matters most, and find more peace in the process.And if you love this episode and want more like it, I’d love to welcome you inside <a href="https://www.singlegreatestchoice.com/sgcvillage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Village</a>—a community designed to support women at every stage of the journey with resources, coaching, and connection.👩‍👧‍👦<a href="https://bit.ly/4bXZVq4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Single Greatest Choice</a> is the single mother by choice resource you’ve been craving for every stage of your SMBC journey.
