Summary
Alyssa Shelasky was a serial dater who decided she really wanted to be a mom! So she took matters into her own bad-ass independent bitch hands, and found her “Vince Vaughn” at a sperm bank! Alyssa shares her story about “shopping for her baby daddy,” her process of pregnancy and birth, and the magical way she explains things to her young daughter today. Alyssa also recounts some of her craziest dating & relationship tales, and what it was like to chronicle all those spicy details in her brand new book, “This Might Be Too Personal: And Other Intimate Stories.”
