115. I Chose Motherhood Without Waiting for a Man with Reema Kiran

When you know you want to become a mother… but the man hasn’t arrived?

For Reema Kiran, there came a point where waiting for the traditional order of partner, marriage, then baby meant potentially giving up something she knew she deeply wanted: motherhood.

So she chose another path.

In this episode, I sit down with Reema, single mother by choice and founder of Choice Mom Coach, to talk honestly about what it takes to choose motherhood on your own terms.

From six medicated IUIs and two rounds of IVF, to donor sperm, unexplained infertility and the heartbreak of embryos not making it through genetic testing Reema’s journey to her daughter was anything but straightforward.

But this conversation goes far beyond fertility.

We talk about grieving the fairytale you thought your life would follow, navigating cultural and family expectations, being called selfish for choosing solo motherhood, and some of the wildly unhelpful things people say when you’re going through fertility treatment.

And for the woman quietly wondering, “Could I actually do this?” Reema shares what she wishes she knew earlier, why getting information about your fertility matters, and why exploring your options doesn’t mean you’ve committed to any of them.

Because sometimes the life you deeply want doesn’t arrive in the order you were taught it should.
