Solo Mum Life Now: Cyndi and Tash on Saying Yes to One—and Dreaming of a Possible Third
Cyndi and Tash return to share what life looks like now—one has embraced being one-and-done, the other is quietly leaving the door open for more.
In this warm and reflective update episode, we reconnect with two beloved solo mums from earlier seasons—Cyndi and Tash—to find out how their lives (and families) have grown since we last heard from them.
Cyndi talks about life with her two-year-old son Callaway and why she’s officially closed the chapter on having a second child, including the emotional and financial weight of the decision, what happened with her remaining donor embryos, and how it feels to say goodbye to the IVF phase of life.
Tash shares the whirlwind of adding a second child, navigating a VBAC birth in the back of an ambulance, moving house postpartum, buying a business, and raising two young daughters solo—all while still keeping the dream of baby number three alive (someday).
