In this episode of Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice, Laura sits down with Kristin, a solo mom by choice, former professional ballet dancer, and owner of a dance retail store specializing in pointe shoe fittings.

Kristin shares what led her to stop waiting for the "right time" or the "right partner" and pursue motherhood on her own. Together, they dive into the realities of life as an older first-time solo mom—from navigating sleep deprivation and the mental load of parenting to balancing work, leaning on family, and coping with the expectations that come with this journey.
