Life doesn’t always unfold the way you imagined. For Tara, that meant rethinking everything she thought she knew about love, family, and the “perfect” timing. After years in relationships that weren’t moving toward the future she desired, she found herself at a crossroads: stay stuck waiting for someone else to come around, or start creating the life she dreamed of on her own.In this episode, Tara opens up about the heartbreak of leaving long-term relationships, the fear and uncertainty of starting over at 38, and the courage it took to finally consider solo motherhood. She shares her experiences with fertility testing, choosing a sperm donor, a difficult miscarriage, and the incredible support she’s found in this SMBC community as she takes those first steps toward becoming a single mom by choice.Whether you’re exploring solo motherhood yourself or simply need a reminder that starting over is possible, Tara’s story is filled with courage, clarity, and deep self-trust.In this episode on pursuing solo motherhood, we discuss:<ul><li>Feeling stuck in relationships and deciding when it’s time to choose yourself;</li><li>The fear of starting over in your late 30s and facing fertility decisions alone;</li><li>How finances, support systems, and fear hold women back from solo motherhood;</li><li>Fertility testing, donor conception, and facing miscarriage as a single woman;</li><li>The emotional growth that comes from doing it scared;</li><li>The power of connection and finding your people in the SMBC community;</li><li>And more from Tara’s deeply honest and inspiring journey.</li></ul> Resources mentioned in this episode:👩‍👧‍👦<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.
