Single Mothers by Choice

This group is not currently running. If you're interested in a future offering, you're welcome to join the interest list.

Future virtual sessions may be available to participants in California and Illinois.

Choosing to become a mother on your own can be empowering, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. It can also come with unique challenges, questions, and moments when you wish you had more people who truly understood your experience.

Single Mothers by Choice is designed to bring mothers together in an accepting community where they can share experiences, find connection, and make time to nurture themselves as whole people—not just as parents.

What We'll Explore

This group combines supportive discussion with practical, evidence-based skills. Topics may include:

• Navigating the emotional demands of solo parenting

• Managing anxiety, stress, guilt, and overwhelm

• Building and maintaining meaningful relationships and support systems

• Balancing your own needs with the responsibilities of motherhood

• Practicing self-compassion and adjusting unrealistic expectations

• Strengthening emotional regulation and everyday coping skills

• Finding connection, confidence, and joy in your parenting journey

Topics may also be shaped by the interests and experiences of group members.

A Community That Understands

You may have chosen to parent independently, but that doesn't mean you have to navigate every part of motherhood alone.

Group support offers an opportunity to connect with others who understand the particular joys and challenges of being a single mother by choice. Alongside conversation and connection, we'll make room for learning useful skills, sharing perspectives, and caring for yourself.
