Summary
This week we're talking about something we've touched on on Made By Mammas, but never in depth...solo parenting, and especially the decision to become a mother alone. So this week Zo and Georgia chat to Liv Thorne a.k.a Livsalone to talk all about her experience.
Liv talks about her desire to become a mum, how it affected dating, the process she went through, choosing sperm, people's opinions, the importance of talking about alternative routes to becoming a parent and the financial toll it can take.
Liv's new book 'Liv's Alone: Amateur Adventures in Solo Motherhood' is out August 19th!
