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.

| 0:04.8 | even if you're 22 you might find that you might want this but your body is not going to cooperate. |
| 0:09.5 | Is it different? Having sex with a man and getting pregnant is it more tricky to be |
| 0:14.1 | or do the body reject it differently? It's the same way. Same chances. |

| 0:34.0 | Here we go. Guys, welcome. It's the Cat and App Podcast. It is Thursday, which means we have |

| 1:30.4 | 50% of all families are co-parenting and in co-parenting relationships. 23% of all kids are |
| 1:36.8 | raised in single family, single parent households, meaning solo moms by choice like myself, |
| 1:42.5 | people who have lost loved ones, people who for whatever reason their co-parent can't co-parent. |
| 1:50.1 | I mean, we're talking about a significant generation of people who are raised without a second |
