Show Notes
In this empowering and deeply resonant episode of The Space Between Two Lines, Alex welcomes Reema Kiran, a Single Mom by Choice (SMC), fertility coach, and author, to share her remarkable path to parenthood. After a long-term relationship ended in her late 20s, Reema faced the reality of her biological clock at age 35 and made the courageous decision to prioritize motherhood over waiting for the "perfect" partner. Her journey through the fertility "trenches" was marked by the disappointment of low-yield egg freezing, six unsuccessful IUIs, and a devastating IVF cycle with no viable embryos. Now a mother to a thriving daughter, Reema discusses the mental resilience required to pursue this path alone, navigating cultural expectations as an Indian-Canadian woman, and how she now empowers other career women to stop compromising on their motherhood dreams.
