230 - Lisa's single mum story

Six years ago, Lisa moved to Australia from Germany. Last year she found out she was pregnant in the middle of a motorbike trip from Sydney to Byron Bay. She had unexpectedly fallen pregnant with a man she had just started dating.  

All her pre-conceived ideas of how life and family "should" look like, especially when having a baby, were challenged and her journey of thinking about what she should do, and how it should look like had begun. 

In this episode, Lisa shares her story. She also talks about how the father of the baby reacted when she told him the news, what her decision process with what to do looked like, and what her co-parenting plan is when not knowing the father of the baby that well. Lisa also gives her advice to women who have also unexpectedly fallen pregnant with someone they've just started dating and who intend on becoming single mothers.
