This episode marks a powerful full-circle moment on Motherhood Intended.

Three years ago, Alison joined the podcast to share her decision to freeze her eggs in an episode titled “Egg Preservation: A Story of 10 Maybe Babies.” At the time, she was preserving her fertility and creating options for her future — without knowing exactly where the journey would lead.

Today, Alison is back to share what happened next.

In this Season 7 premiere, Jacqueline and Alison reflect on the path from egg freezing to single motherhood by choice, including:

• deciding to pursue motherhood on her own
• choosing a sperm donor
• pursuing IVF
• navigating pregnancy after infertility decisions
• and welcoming her now almost six-month-old son

This honest conversation explores both the emotional and practical sides of fertility preservation — from the uncertainty of freezing eggs to the realities of IVF, pregnancy, and early motherhood. Alison shares what surprised her most, what she wishes she had known earlier, and how she defines success now, looking back on the journey.

This episode is for anyone who:

• is considering freezing their eggs
• is navigating fertility timelines or delayed parenting
• is exploring single motherhood by choice
• or is wondering how today’s fertility decisions can shape tomorrow’s possibilities

It’s a story about options, agency, patience — and what can unfold when you give yourself time.
