Baby Steps: Deciding To Become A Mother On Your Own Ft Amanda Freeman

Jordana sits down for another episode of Baby Steps, presented by BetterHelp, and this week she’s joined by the founder and CEO of SLT fitness, Amanda Freeman, to talk all about finding a sperm donor to get pregnant on your own. They dive into Amanda’s path to motherhood, including how and when she decided to go the solo route and visit a sperm bank. She also gives tips for what you should be looking for in a donor, how much information the bank will actually provide, and just how many vials you need to purchase. Plus, she tells the story of subsequently having a second child with her longtime partner, and shares the biggest lessons she’s learned about balancing work and family life.
