No need for Prince Charming – Details, episodes & analysis

The No Need for Prince Charming podcast is proudly brought to you by Solo Mum Society and City Fertility.

Meet Candace and her adorable daughter Maisie.

After years of helping other women get pregnant Candace decided she had to do all she could to have a child. She made the very challenging decision to end her loving, long-term relationship and instead pursue having a child on her own using a known donor. In this episode, we discuss the process she went through to decide on using a known donor, the counselling and legal process they went through to ensure it was well thought out and reduce any potential impact on their relationship going forward, and how postpartum recovery humbles the fiercely independent women within us.

S3:B8 - Everything you need to know about becoming a Virtual Assistant

The No Need for Prince Charming podcast is proudly brought to you by Solo Mum Society.

I have had so many discussions lately with solo mums who struggle after returning to their pre-baby careers. They crave flexibility and would love a way to make more income without sacrificing time with their children. My special guest, Sasha Eburne, found a way to create this wealth and freedom when she left her career in hotel management to pursue a virtual assistant business. She saw so much success that she is now helping other women pursue the same dream.

You can find out more about Sasha’s 6 week “The VA Way Certification” course here and make sure you follow her on instagram for more inspiration and tips @sashaeburne_

S3:E19 - Mikayla & Charlie

The No Need for Prince Charming is proudly brought to you by City Fertility Solo Mum Society.

Meet Mikayla and her gorgeous daughter Charlie

Mikayla decided pretty early on that she didn’t want a partner but always wanted to be a mother. After the pandemic stopped her travel plans she decided to build a house and create her family when she was 27. She had a lovely short journey to motherhood and at the time of recording Charlie was only 12 weeks old. In this episode we discuss how she’s finding motherhood so far, what she’s done to set up a support network living away from family and friends and what she’s most looking forward to with her daughter.
