Solo Mum by Choice: Starting a Family at 25 via IVF with Keira

from The Weird Years · host Lydia Vornweg

What if building the family you dream of didn’t depend on waiting for “the one” to show up first?This week I’m joined by Keira - NHS nurse, aesthetics expert, and unapologetically independent powerhouse - who at just 25 decided she wasn’t going to wait for a partner to start the family she always knew she wanted. Through IVF with a sperm donor, she became mum to her son Noah, rewriting the script on what motherhood can look like.Keira shares the full story - from Googling “how to have a baby on my own,” to navigating donor databases, IVF costs, and genetic testing. We unpack making that big decision, why “waiting for the right guy” isn’t a guarantee and the backlash she faces online.This is for anyone feeling the pull of parenthood but stuck is on the 'who', ‘when’ and ‘how', this is for you. ✨ Follow Keira @keiraandnoah✨ Follow us on IG: @theweirdyearspodcast🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
