This week I'm answering a listener question about one of the most common fears people have when considering solo motherhood - what about companionship??Q: "I know you said a partner is out of the question but what about companionship? How do you manage to incorporate that? I am 39 and have a few eggs frozen and still feel unsure about so much including if I even want to go down this path on my own. All my friends are married with kids and I just feel people look at me confused."I hear ya! I feel like confusion was the reaction I got the most when I told people I was going to have a baby solo.So, in this episode I share how I felt about relationships before becoming a solo mum, how that changed once I made the decision to go it alone, and whether I ever miss having a partner now that I’m deep in the trenches of parenting on my own.I also reflect on the kind of love I’ve experienced in past relationships vs. the love I feel from my daughter and how it's unlike anything I’ve ever known.EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Rachel CorbettEditing Assistance: Josh NewthLINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:Click here to submit a question to the showWant to start your own podcast?
