Goodbye Podcast, Hello YouTube Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

I’m wrapping up The Backup Plan as a podcast and moving the project fully to YouTube. As a single mom by choice, raising my child through IVF with my gay best friend’s sperm and living multi-generationally with my mom, I’ll be sharing the next chapter of this journey in video form.

For those who don’t know me yet: I’m a single mother by choice. I went through IVF using my gay best friend’s sperm, and now I’m raising my child while navigating multi-generational living with my mom. This podcast has been such an important part of my journey, and I’m so grateful for everyone who’s listened along the way.

But this isn’t goodbye. The full archive of podcast episodes is available on Patreon, and the future of The Backup Planlives on YouTube with new weekly videos about single motherhood, IVF, LGBTQ+ family building, and multi-generational living.

Thank you for being part of this chapter — I can’t wait to share what’s ahead. 💜
