About The Single Greatest Choice
You always imagined becoming a mom someday, but what if someday doesn’t look the way you expected? Maybe you're considering solo motherhood, wondering if having a baby on your own is really possible. Maybe you know you want to be a mom, but the clock is ticking, you’re single and aren’t sure what to do next. Perhaps you’re already on the path: researching sperm donors, weighing IVF or adoption, or navigating pregnancy without a partner. Wherever you are in your journey, The Single Greatest Choice is here to support you. Hosted by Katie Bryan, a single mother by choice turned SMBC coach and community facilitator, this podcast is a space for women exploring what it means to choose parenthood on their own terms. You’ll hear real stories from solo moms who’ve been where you are: women who have faced the fears, made the choices, and built beautiful, fulfilling lives as single mothers by choice. You can expect conversations around: > Fertility for single women in their 30s and 40s; > Considering solo motherhood & becoming a single mother by choice (SMBC) > IVF, adoption, sperm donors, and egg freezing for single women > Having a baby on your own > Choosing to parent alone > Dating and relationships as SMBCs > Building community as a solo mom by choice > And much more. If you're single in your 30s or 40s and wondering, Can I do this?, you’re not alone. The path to becoming a single mother by choice isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. This is your place to find confidence, connection, and community as you explore whether solo motherhood might be your single greatest choice.

And if I don't get a viable egg or embryo out of that, then I'm going to make the decision of whether or not I move towards adoption or fostering or... egg donation or embryo donation. And that next cycle of IVF, I didn't get any viable embryos. And so I sat with the decision for about three months. I did a lot of research.
