Considering a Second Child: An Exploration Group for SMBCs
Considering a second child as a solo mother by choice can bring up a complicated mix of emotions, questions, hopes, fears, logistics, and uncertainty.
This 3-week Exploration Group is a small support and discussion group designed specifically for SMBCs who are thoughtfully exploring that conversation.
Together, we’ll create space for honest reflection and nuanced conversation around the emotional and practical realities of expanding your family as a solo parent. This is not a group designed to push anyone toward a particular decision. Instead, it’s an opportunity to connect with other women navigating similar questions in a supportive, thoughtful environment where complexity and mixed emotions are welcome.
Over the course of three weeks, our conversations may explore topics such as:
Week 1: Emotional aspects of considering another child
Week 2: Practical considerations and family logistics
Week 3: Navigating uncertainty and thinking about next steps
Each week includes a live 60-minute group conversation and optional journal prompts for continued reflection between sessions.
