Summary

She is building her family her way! We loved talking with Julia Karol about her journey to becoming a solo mom by choice so much that we needed to make it a two part series. After an unexpected breakup with the partner she thought she would start a family with, Julia took her future into her own hands. She began exploring her options for motherhood and ultimately made the decision to embark on a fertility journey to become a solo parent while recording the first season of her podcast, Stork'd. For more of Julia's journey and her podcast check out https://www.storkdpodcast.com/ and @storkd_podcast.
