How a dream, determination, and a little pixie dust led Alycia to motherhood through IUI with her daughter, Emmeline.
In this uplifting episode of No Need for Prince Charming, Alycia shares how a dream completely transformed her perspective on motherhood and led her to pursue solo motherhood by choice. Having spent most of her 20s and early 30s convinced she didn’t want children, Alycia’s life took a surprising turn after an unforgettable dream planted the seed for her future family.
Alycia dives into the practicalities of choosing a donor, navigating the IUI process, and managing the unexpected emotions of early pregnancy—all while balancing life in country WA. She shares how her background as an egg donor helped her confidently approach the process and why trusting herself was key to her journey. Her story is filled with humour, wisdom, and heartfelt reflections on life with her daughter, Emmeline, who has “found her voice” in the most adorable way.
