Alisha Burns on The Single Greatest Choice Podcast: Solo Motherhood in the Early Days
In June 2020, just weeks after giving birth in Melbourne’s first COVID lockdown, Alisha Burns joined Katie on The Single Greatest Choice podcast to talk about becoming a solo mum by choice.
It’s one of the earliest recordings of Alisha’s story: recorded in the newborn haze, before Solo Mum Society existed as it does today.
What we covered
Deciding to become a mum on her own, and what finally tipped the decision
Navigating donor conception and IVF as a single woman in Australia
Giving birth and bringing a newborn home during lockdown
Why community matters, and the early seeds of No Need for Prince Charming
“I was physically alone, but never unsupported.”
— Alisha Burns, founder of Solo Mum Society
