  • Decentering Men: What Happened When I Chose Myself Instead of Waiting for Him
    2025/06/28

    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 unexpected peace, freedom, and clarity that came next
    🍼 Why becoming a single mom by choice was never a backup plan, it was my breakthrough

    If you're on the fence about becoming a solo mom... or just waking up to the fact that you're the one you've been waiting for, this one's for you.

  • What I want my kids to know: Choosing SMBC
    2025/06/15

    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 follow a traditional timeline, and family doesn’t need a blueprint to be beautiful.

    If you’re watching this and wondering if you can do it too…
    You can.
    And one day, your children might thank you the same way I hope mine will.

    💛 For every woman rewriting what motherhood looks like.

  • “What Do You Tell Them About Their Dad?” (Here’s What I Say…)
    2025/06/07

    DM your Host Directly

    People love asking how I explain the absence of a father to my kids…
    So here it is: what I say, why I say it, and how I handle the questions (from strangers and from my children) with honesty, confidence, and love.

    This is the part no one prepares you for when you choose to become a single mom by choice, but I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.

    If you’re navigating these conversations (or thinking about becoming an SMBC) this one’s for you. 💛

    Thinking about becoming a single mom by choice but feeling overwhelmed by all the unknowns? I’ve been there. In this video, I’m sharing the raw truth about what I’d do differently if I could go back to the very beginning of my SMBC journey... from mindset shifts and emotional prep to practical decisions around sperm banks, finances, and support systems.

    This isn’t just about regret, it’s about empowering you with the insight I wish I had. Whether you’re still deciding or already planning your first IUI, these are the things no one tells you but you need to hear.

  • He Told Her She’d Never Be on Vogue… Then She Was
    2025/05/26

    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 own is seen as “too much”?

    Let’s flip the narrative.
    Let’s question the programming.
    Let’s rewrite what power, motherhood, and womanhood really look like.

    If you’ve ever felt judged for doing life on your terms (or if you’re a woman who’s DONE with the old rules) this one’s for you! 🔥

    👇 Drop a comment if you’ve ever been underestimated.
    💬 Share this with a friend who needs to hear it.
    🍼 And if you’re curious about becoming a SMBC, I’ve got free resources + programs linked below!

  • Unfiltered Girl Talk: The Truth About My Parenting Style (and Why It's Not for Everyone)
    2025/04/26

    DM your Host Directly

    This isn't your typical picture-perfect motherhood story.

    In today’s girl talk, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like raising my kids as a single mom by choice.
    The messy moments. The real choices. The parenting style that definitely isn't for everyone, and why I've stopped apologizing for it.

    ✨ If you're navigating solo motherhood, tough decisions, or just trying to trust yourself more, this one’s for you.

    Inside this episode:

    • Why I had to unlearn traditional parenting expectations
    • The hard truths about solo motherhood no one prepares you for
    • How I'm raising strong, whole, loved humans, even if it looks different from "the norm"

    ➔ Plus, if you're considering becoming a single mom by choice, my sponsor Fairfax Cryobank is offering 90 days of free access to their donor profiles ($149 value) with my code SINGLEMOMMINDSET25.
    (Choosing the right donor is a huge part of this journey, and Fairfax made it so much easier for me.)

    You don’t need to parent perfectly.
    You don’t need to meet everyone’s expectations.
    You just need to choose what’s true for
    you , and that’s what I’m sharing today.

    Everything to help you on your journey as an independent mama: https://linktr.ee/candicekatherine

    2025/04/21

    DM your Host Directly

    This one's for the woman who's waiting.
    For results. For answers. For a sign.

    Whether you're just starting to explore solo motherhood or already deep in the process, the in-between can feel like the hardest part.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • Why this phase is so emotional and how to stay grounded
    • What you can do while you're waiting (and what to stop forcing)
    • The quiet prep that actually moves you forward
    • My personal update + how I’m moving through my own waiting season

    You're not behind. You're building something beautiful. Even now.
    Take a breath, press play, and let this be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.
