// the single greatest choice community groups \\

Through the experience of group coaching, Katie made a few observations:

  • most women who sign up for group coaching are longing to connect with other women who get it. Many don’t have that in their day-to-day lives.

  • hearing from other women in your shoes is therapeutic in itself. coaching isn’t always necessary to accomplish the goal of feeling less alone on this path.

  • some women prefer time and consistency in order to feel comfortable sharing - keeping the same group for an extended facilitates connection and emotional safety.

so with all that in mind, community groups were born. Whereas group coaching centers on the communication between coach and coachee, community groups are more of a discussion/support group. We go deep, get real, share resources, experiences, and support…think of it like a weekly happy hour with your besties who you haven’t met yet!

even better, the group doesn’t end after the six weeks are up. community groups continue the conversation in a private What’s app group, and (launching soon!) a private online community that allows you to connect with your specific community group AND with women from other community groups, so that you can broaden your smbc network even further.

community groups are limited in size and consistent in membership. There are 6 weekly sessions, and topics for discussion are generated by suggestions from group members (you’ll do this in the enrollment form below).It’s a great way to build your SMbC village!

what women are saying…

  • There has been no greater comfort in this journey than connecting with many amazing women through the community groups. I feel the victories, setbacks, hopes, and fears of these women as if they are my sisters. They have all become a part of my village and knowing that we are all on this journey takes the “solo” out of solo mother by choice.

  • I found Katie's community at just the right time. Being part of her group for the last six weeks has been reassuring, eye-opening, and most of all, has helped me gain confidence in my decisions throughout my IVF process. I'm so grateful to be connected to this larger group of amazing, intelligent, inspiring women.

  • I pretty much knew that this was the path I was taking but I felt like something was missing. And that was a community. This wonderful group of women who get it. Who understand what I'm going through and who will listen and who are there without judgement or pretence. Its so nice to know that I'm connected to this group of women throughout this whole process - even beyond the six weeks of community sessions. I can already picture all of our future kids becoming friends!

  • Community group was amazing. I now have a go-to group of friends that are in a similar or supportive position, and the conversations, discussions, video meetings, and WhatsApp group have been life changing. It’s been so positive. When going through the highs & lows of becoming a single mom by choice, having this group's support, knowledge & encouragement has been invaluable!!!!
