1:1 Coaching Package for aspiring SMBCs

gain the clarity and confidence you need to take the next step in your SMBC journey

CLARITY • CONFIDENCE • EMPOWERMENT

Here’s an important question for the aspiring solo mama who wants to stop obsessing over why life doesn’t look like the fairytale she always imagined.

What’s the difference between the woman who experiences a solo pregnancy as magical as she imagined it would be with a blissed-out partner by her side, and one who barely holds back the tears at every solo ultrasound?

Hint: It’s not reading every "power of positive thinking" book in the self-help section or giving yourself endless pep talks about being #blessed.

It’s not obsessively creating the Pinterest-worthy nursery or amassing tiny onesies either.

And if you guessed it’s constantly reminding yourself that your ex(es) and/or men in general are the worst, or that your married friends probably aren’t as happy as they seem...

You’d still be wrong.

These methods don’t work because they require something called spiritual bypass - they try to jump over the grief and the sadness, rather than truly healing it. 

They are missing one key ingredient:

learning to hold and accept all of our messy and nuanced feelings with the same care we would show a newborn baby

Now hear me out.

Your situation (trying SO hard to be happy about pregnancy while still being sad about how you got there) is NOT your fault.

There is nothing wrong with you. We all have spiritual journeys in this world, and this is part of yours.

Grief and disappointment are part of being human.

But, let me know if this rings true. Do you…

  • Find yourself questioning if you’re jumping into solo motherhood too soon? Maybe your perfect match is just around the corner. Are you giving up on the fairytale too soon?

  • Constantly replay past relationships, wondering where things went wrong? Do you question whether you should have just settled for good enough? (spoiler alert: you shouldn’t have)

  • Change the channel every time a commercial portrays a ridiculously gorgeous and blissfully happy traditional nuclear family—why can’t your life look like that?

  • Avoid confronting your hard feelings about choosing solo motherhood by throwing yourself into other pursuits—over-exercising (got to stay healthy for baby!), over-working (saving up for daycare!), over-organizing (rearranging the kitchen at 2 AM to make space for bottles!), over-eating (eating for two starts now, right?!).

  • Wake up in the middle of the night wondering whether you can really do this on your own. Will you regret your decision? Will your child resent your choice? Is it selfish? And who will be there to cherish those first steps, first words, that first bike ride without training wheels?

Right now, you feel spent. Emotionally drained. Doing your damnedest to keep a smile on your face, but inside you’re wavering. Is this really how the story of your life is meant to play out?

Imagine if you could…

  • genuinely desire the life you are living right now, and not some fantasy version in your head

  • let go of all the bitterness about what went wrong in your past

  • enjoy your pregnancy and bonding with your baby without pangs of sadness at unexpected moments

  • know how to nurture and support yourself any time hard feelings arise

  • Learn how to choose your thoughts so that you can move through ANY situation, no matter how painful 

  • Feel confident and grounded in your identity and your ability to handle tough shit on your own

Imagine being that radiant, ethereal pregnant woman with the perfect, adoring partner... and guess what? That perfect partner is you too!

That is what this coaching package is about. Together, we'll uncover the thoughts that are holding you back, empowering you to harness the power of your mind to create a story you’d actually choose.

1:1 coaching is for you if…

  • you’re considering SMBC but not sure it’s right for you (it’s not for everybody!)

  • you’re stuck on a step of the process, like choosing a donor, deciding on a timeline, or reconsidering your living situation

  • you suspect SMBC is the best choice for you, but you’re still grieving the fairytale and it’s so damn hard

  • you’ve got things on your mind related to solo motherhood that keep you up at night, but no one in your “real life” really gets it

kind words from past clients:

  • In one session, Katie helped me let go of one of the biggest hangups I had about becoming a solo parent. Deep down, I think I knew I was ready...but I was SO caught up in what other people would think. Learning how to let go of that story changed everything for me!

    – Christina

  • I worried that I wasn't a "good fit" for coaching since I was still doing a lot of dating and was very uncertain if SMBC was for me. But in these sessions, I never felt pressured to make a decision. Honestly, I still don't know what I will ultimately decide, but it was so helpful to talk everything through. It helped me realize that what I do next is MY choice, not something that is going to happen to me.

    – Sarah

  • If you are thinking about coaching, I would definitely say to do it. It was really helpful talking to someone who has been through a lot of the same things and talked to so many women in the same boat. I already knew I was going to move forward with IVF, but coaching helped me feel more at peace with my decision.

Meet Your Coach

I’m Katie Bryan, a single gal turned solo mom and coach. Having a child on my own was definitely not the life I had planned, but the biggest plot twist is how much I LOVE this path that I never would have chosen. Parenting solo has some huge perks, but the very best (other than the adorable sidekick, of course) is the incredible community of fellow SMBCs I’ve met along the way. As your coach, I am honored to support you as we sift through your biggest hangups, worries, doubts and insecurities so that you can create a life you love. Through coaching, you’ll find the confidence and clarity you’ve been missing on your journey, and I will be with you every step of the way!

1:1 COACHING

frequently asked questions

  • Your investment is $1197 for 6 sessions (less than one vial of sperm in most cases!). You can also opt for the payment plan option, which is $399 per month for three months.

  • When you sign up for a coaching package, you’ll gain access to Katie’s coaching calendar. You’ll have 8 weeks to use your 6 sessions. You can schedule all 6 sessions when you first sign up, or book one session at a time. We can meet at the same time each week or vary our session times - you are in full control to book when it’s most convenient for you!

  • In order to build on momentum from one session to the next, it’s recommended to book weekly sessions (8 weeks provides us with a little wiggle room in case of travel, illness, or just needing a little more time to integrate your thinking). Of course we can always be flexible on a case-by-case basis.

  • There is no set agenda for coaching sessions. They are built around the topics that matter most to you. When you choose to work with Katie, you’ll fill out an enrollment questionnaire that acts as a jumping-off point, but the sessions can go wherever you’d like. As your coach, Katie will help you clearly define your goals and make sure we stay on track during each session so that we get to your desired outcome by th end.

  • I truly believe that the tools I have to offer can help anyone to feel better about just about anything. That being said, if you are suffering from severe anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, I will advise you to seek professional help. I am not a therapist - just a girl who’s been through it, figured out how to feel better, then went and got the training to help you do the same. If you aren’t sure we are a good fit, I encourage you to schedule a DISCOVERY CALL.
