218: Choosing Motherhood on Your Terms: Single Mom by Choice with Jessica Nuremberg

Women Don't Do That (WDDT)

About

Jessica Nuremberg chose to become a single mom by choice after 40, navigating IVF, donor conception, finances, and community building along the way. In this honest and grounded conversation, she shares what it really looks like to choose motherhood outside of the traditional script and why taking one step at a time matters more than having everything figured out.

This episode covers:
Why becoming a single mom by choice is often a slow decision, not a bold overnight leap
The emotional reality of IVF, including grief, hope, and resilience
Fertility timelines and what women should understand about egg and embryo preservation
Financial planning for solo motherhood and building long term security
The role of community, donor sibling groups, and finding support
Letting go of settling in relationships just to have children
Dating after becoming a single mom by choice
Jessica reminds us that you do not need to have every answer to move forward. You only need your next right step.
