Preparing for Solo Motherhood
Feel calm, confident, and ready for the next chapter — with expert guidance made just for pregnant solo mums.
Practical. Emotional. Empowering.
Everything you need to prepare for birth, postpartum, and solo mum life — without the panic, overwhelm, or generic advice that doesn’t apply to you.
This course is for you if…
You’ve made the brave and beautiful decision to become a solo mum by choice — and now that you're pregnant, reality is setting in.
Maybe you're thinking:
How will I do this without a partner?
What do I actually need to prepare?
What happens if I go into labour alone?
How do I build a support system if it's just me?
What if I forget something important?
This course will help you answer those questions with confidence — and walk into birth and solo motherhood feeling prepared, supported, and proud
What you’ll learn inside the course:
You’re growing a baby — and stepping into solo motherhood at the same time.
That’s big. Beautiful. And a lot to carry on your own.
This course is your guide to preparing practically and emotionally for what’s ahead — so you’re not just “getting through it,” you’re actually feeling ready.

Learn from someone who’s lived it
I’m Alisha — Founder of Solo Mum Society, solo mum by choice, podcast host, author, professional coach and your course facilitator.
I gave birth during Melbourne’s first COVID lockdown.
There was no birth partner. No visitors. And when I brought my daughter home, there was no one walking through the door to help.
My mum couldn’t get to the country and didn’t end up meeting my daughter until she was 7 months old.
And yet — we thrived.
Not because it was easy. But because I was prepared. I’d planned ahead, set things up for myself, and figured out what I’d need to recover and care for my baby with confidence.
This course is everything I wish I’d had. Not just a checklist, but emotional preparation, support planning, and the kind of practical advice that’s actually useful when you’re doing it solo.
You don’t need a partner to feel supported. You just need a plan that works for you, and someone who gets what this journey is really like.
Let me help you feel ready.
