DM your Host Directly I polled you guys and the majority of you are terrified of doing motherhood alone. A close second was waiting too long... we'll get into that one later. Let's get into the reality of doing it all alone... this one was hard for me to admit! Normally the Formula is fully self-paced with no direct access to me. But for December only, I’m turning it into a collective, supported experience for the women who are done waiting and ready to build their 2026 intentionally. This is...
DM your Host Directly We don’t talk about this enough… What it actually costs you to wait. Not just time, but your peace, your confidence, your emotional bandwidth, your dreams, your fertility window, your LIFE. This episode is the one women usually only admit to themselves in private. The moment you wake up and realize you’ve been putting your entire life on hold for a partner who may never arrive... and the world STILL tells you to “be patient.” I’m done with that conversation. And in today...
DM your Host Directly I’m doing something different this week… I opened a private Substack space called The Keep Him Collective. Basically, a group chat for women building life on their own terms. I’ll be sharing stories I’ve never shared publicly... think ex-fiance and separation tea, secret dating era, courtrooms, meeting my ex’s new partner, an old daycare worker that gave me weird vibes… all of it 🤪 If you’ve ever wanted the “best friend on the couch at 11pm” version of me, she’s in there...

DM your Host Directly So many people confuse decentering men with hating men... but that’s not what this is about. In this episode, I break down what it really means to stop placing men at the center of our choices, our timing, and our worth. We’ll talk about how decentering men changes motherhood, dating, and even how we raise our sons. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about shifting the cultural narrative so women (and future generations) are free to build lives and...
DM your Host Directly Are we witnessing the end of the "nuclear family" as we know it? In today’s episode, I dive into the rise of solo motherhood by choice and why more women are choosing sovereignty, legacy, and freedom over waiting to be “picked.” We’ll explore: ✨ Why the nuclear family model was never universal. ✨ How fertility technology + financial independence are rewriting timelines. ✨ What kids actually need to thrive (hint: it’s not two parents at any cost). ✨ The myths about single...
DM your Host Directly Welcome to Keep Him, the podcast that’s flipping the script on women’s lives, motherhood, and female sovereignty. Instead of keeping him, we're keeping everything else.

As a single mom by choice, I’ve navigated judgment, pushback, and the pressure to follow a traditional path. But choosing to become the matriarch of my own story, and lead my life without waiting for permission...changed everything. If y...
DM your Host Directly The biggest shift in my life didn’t come from a relationship. It came from the moment I stopped centering men... and started choosing me. This video is for the woman who’s tired of waiting. Tired of shrinking. Tired of organizing her life around someone who hasn’t even arrived yet (or isn’t showing up how she deserves). I talk about: 💥 The moment I realized I was still living for male validation 💫 What happened when I chose myself, my healing, and my kids 💡 The unexpecte...
DM your Host Directly JOIN US THIS WEDNESDAY for a LIVE webinar discussing all things SMBC: https://candicekatherine.teachable.com/p/smbc-webinar I didn’t choose this life because it was easy. I chose it because I knew you were worth everything. This video is for my kids...one day, when they ask why I did it alone, or wonder if they were ever “missing” something. They weren’t. They were the reason. I became a single mom by choice because I knew deep in my bones that love doesn’t have to follo...

DM your Host Directly Let’s talk about that Justin Bieber + Hailey story... and what it reveals about the toxic messaging women have been fed for generations. In this video, I break down how women are taught to shrink themselves, accept bare-minimum treatment from men, and ignore their own intuition. All while being shamed for choosing an empowered path like becoming a single mom by choice (SMBC). Why is it that this kind of male behavior gets normalized, but deciding to have a baby on your o...
