In this episode of Choosing Chaos, we sit down with Laura Scrieber, a soon-to-be single mom navigating a rollercoaster of fertility and pregnancy. Coming from a strong conservative family, Laura shares the hesitation, courage, and love that have guided her journey to motherhood.

Hear her candidly ask Kristen and me the questions on her mind as she prepares for labor—including her concerns about having a C-section, her hopes for support from her older mom, and her plans to relocate to Kansas City while finding her new village. Along the way, she navigates the emotional and financial considerations of this next chapter, celebrating the messy, beautiful moments that come with stepping into the unknown.

Laura’s story offers an intimate glimpse into the challenges, hopes, and practical realities of preparing for motherhood, balancing family, and building the support system she needs for the life ahead.
