In this deeply powerful conversation, Jacqui Quigley shares what it means to shape a life entirely on your own terms. When faced with a diagnosis of premature menopause while trying to freeze her eggs, Jacqui had a choice: accept the loss of the motherhood she imagined—or forge a new path entirely.
With courage, self-trust, and an anonymous sperm donor, Jacqui became a solo mum but the journey wasn't simple. We talk about the emotional, physical, mental, and financial toll of failed implantations, miscarriage, and navigating fertility treatments alone.
Jacqui opens up about letting go of the dream of a nuclear family, the raw realities of single motherhood, and the profound, unbreakable bond she’s built with her beloved son.
This episode is a celebration of resilience, choice, and what happens when a woman redefines family for herself.
A must listen. 🎙️
