Solo Mum by Choice: Starting a Family at 25 via IVF with Keira

Description

What if building the family you dream of didn’t depend on waiting for “the one” to show up first?


This week I’m joined by Keira - NHS nurse, aesthetics expert, and unapologetically independent powerhouse - who at just 25 decided she wasn’t going to wait for a partner to start the family she always knew she wanted. Through IVF with a sperm donor, she became mum to her son Noah, rewriting the script on what motherhood can look like.


Keira shares the full story - from Googling “how to have a baby on my own,” to navigating donor databases, IVF costs, and genetic testing. We unpack making that big decision, why “waiting for the right guy” isn’t a guarantee and the backlash she faces online.


This is for anyone feeling the pull of parenthood but stuck is on the 'who', ‘when’ and ‘how', this is for you.
