I Think I Like You

A counterintuitive approach to navigating dating and building relationships in the digital age. This is for the woman who feels disenchanted by more common dating rhetoric and sometimes even questions if she wants a relationship at all. She already lives a rich, full life. She would like to share that with someone, but not at the expense of herself. What gives? That’s where we’re digging in.

A former client of mine has a baby on her own, by choice, but still plans to "find love on her timeline." Here's her story. | Ep 150

December 10, 2025

Many of the women I work with fall into their late 30s and early 40s, that spot when if one desires children, things can feel a bit precarious. Will I meet someone in time? Will the eggs I've frozen actually function?

While I've had a few clients loosely entertain pursuing motherhood on their own, Megan was the first to actually do it. But it came much more from a place of pure desire, rather than something she felt forced into doing because time was running out. Her decision to do so brings up some great questions and points around the limitations of a traditional marriage, the freedoms found in having a child on one's own, and the desire to pursue motherhood in advance of meeting your partner. This is part one of our rich conversation.
