I’m your host, Katie Bryan.

I launched The Single Greatest Choice Podcast from my kitchen table in March 2020, hoping my story might help a few women who felt as alone and uncertain as I once had.

Since then, the show has grown into hundreds of honest conversations about donor conception, fertility treatment, decision-making, pregnancy, parenting, identity, relationships, and the many ways women build meaningful lives outside the traditional timeline.

I’m continually moved by the women who share their stories here, and by the listeners who tell me the podcast helped them feel less alone.

  • This podcast was an absolute lifeline as I started the process of becoming a single parent.

    The SGC podcast was so helpful in giving me the confidence to move forward and do what I felt was the right thing. I have shared it with a ton of people: women considering this path, folks that have an interest in reproductive healthcare, and friends and family who want language and guidance for how to be supportive.

  • Katie and The Single Greatest Choice are the reason I'm cuddling my baby right now…

    After listening to her podcast I knew this was my path. Her knowledge and inspiration helped me tremendously. Thanks to her online communities, I'm connected to other single moms and made a lot of new friends. And I've binge-listened to every episode of her podcast, it isn't just stories; it's a lifesaver for single moms like me.

  • I can’t overemphasize how much this podcast helped me!

    Before I found this podcast I didn’t even know how many women were having babies on their own. I thought what I was doing was so unique and frankly found it kind of embarrassing to talk about. Hearing the guests on this show was like listening to the thoughts in my own head. I’ve shared episodes with people in my life to help explain what I’m doing and why. Thank you for making me feel less alone!

  • Thank you SO much for sharing your story and starting your podcast!

    If it wasn’t for finding it and listening to every story, I’m not sure I would’ve gotten the courage to take the leap I did. I am now getting further into my journey to be a solo mom. Every time I need a little reminder or some courage, I listen to one of your episodes. I hope one day I get to tell my baby how a woman I’ve never met had such a large influence on me becoming their mom.
