AGLY Ep Six - The Debrief

Single Parent IVF, Sperm Donor Program, Societal Expectations, Banter & Bravo!

Only my Australian listeners and readers will understand this reference (apologies to everyone else), but I can liken my coming and going RE this podcast to John Farnham’s never ending farewell tour - but it’s actually a weird opposite remix of that. Ughh. One minute “i’m baaacckkk”, the next minute… I’ve ghosted everyone for 11 months. Welcome to the stage… duh, duh, duhhh: dissociative state. As I sit here and try to explain or defend my lengthy hiatus, I know this is somewhat fuelled by urgency culture. I feel this pressure (self-inflicted) and then it can all become so overwhelming that I’m pushed into a state of absolute paralysis and self-loathing, regarding motivation and output. Anyway, that’s a whole other episode and blog article I should cover - coming soon in 2027, lol. Today though, I am here to celebrate the absolute $hit out of a dear friend of mine and champion her choice to embark on solo parenthood.
