Stephanie G. | Taking the Leap & Navigating Mom Circles
In this episode of Who’s the Daddy w/ Alexandra K, Stephanie shares how she chose solo motherhood at 34, after realizing her then-boyfriend wasn’t ready—or sure—about becoming a father. She was clear: she didn’t want to miss her chance to become a mom.
With help from close friends and after choosing not one but two donors throughout her journey, Stephanie is now the proud single mom by choice of two amazing boys. Her story is all about clarity, courage, and trusting yourself even when the timing isn’t perfect.
Solicited Advice:
This week’s listener submission comes from a solo mom by choice who feels isolated in traditional mom spaces. She’s often the only one without a partner and is finding it hard to build friendships with moms who don’t rely on their partners for everything. We talk about how to navigate that dynamic, protect your peace, and find your people.
My Why:
One of the biggest reasons I started this podcast is because if you don’t know something exists, you might also struggle with knowing it’s possible. I remember when I first started looking into this path, I was literally searching single mom on purpose—just hoping to find someone else out there like me. I had no idea intentional single motherhood was a real thing people did, and for a long time, it felt like I was figuring it out on my own. But the more I learned, the more I realized there’s a whole community of us. And that’s why I’m committed to sharing these stories—to make sure no one has to wonder if this is possible or if they’re the only one thinking about it.
