S6, Ep 2: The Backup Plan Podcast Host, Meredith Katie

When I was first considering solo parenthood, I scoured the internet for any resources and stories I could find about other women taking the SMBC route. Back in 2018 there weren't nearly as many people talking about this choice as there are today, but I know many of you are hungry for all the stories you can get about other women out there taking the plunge into solo parenthood by choice. Today’s guest is Meredith Kate, an aspiring southern California single mama by choice and the host of The Backup Plan Podcast. Get a taste her story on this episode, then make sure to follow her show for updates in real time as her journey unfolds!

For years, Meredith and her gay best friend had a running joke that if they were both still single without kids by a certain point, they’d have a child together. Recently, Meredith decided it was time to take that joke seriously. In our conversation, she’ll explain more about her decision, the arrangements she’s making with her known donor, and how she’s prepping for her future life as a single mom. 

We discuss more about…..

  • ICI/IUI vs IVF

  • Prioritizing community as a single mom

  • Finding a doctor that’s right for you

  • Practical considerations when working with a known donor

  • Living with her supportive mom
