WHO AM I ?

Hi, I am Emma.

Stay tuned to Mum Is The Boss blog for my weekly blogs on juggling SMC (Single Mother by Choice) with IVF combined with a demanding career and handling some of those hurdles that trip us up along our Dream Journey path.

Single Women, juggling parenting and a career - What's Your Story...

Back to the point... Us Girls want it all and why can't we. Well we can if we get creative and know there are no boundaries and limits to our dreams. Well I quit my high flying career back in February of 2016, to focus on what was important to me - health and to get back to living up to my personal values. I no longer wanted to be a part of a culture and environment that was toxic and non-conducive to my values. The only problem is, as a soon to be SMC (Single Mother By Choic

Government Discrimination against Single Women who want to be a Mum

My last blog was about the wonderful journey I had with IVF Australia, and this remains the case, yet this blog carries more of a serious, some may call feminist, tone. I have strong negative opinions on government discrimination against healthy, fertile women who go through IVF Treatment "single", offering no financial aid and medicare rebates. The government believe that for us women who tick one of these boxes: Fertile (to me this is a positive in every other way) Don't ma

The IUI/IVF Journey

Wanting a baby was always one of my top priorities, amongst many others - career, being a successful business woman, travelling the world, being a great friend, staying healthy and continuing to manage a very creative and healthy social presence - just generally enjoying life and creating many memories, oh and finding a husband - this one didn't quite work out but the rest did. So the only thing left to do now was to get focused on trying for a mini-me. I started my journey

How did it get so late so soon... says Dr Seuss.

Age is a big consideration when one is keen to have a child. And sometimes "life" just gets in the way. Or does it? Do we always need to be stressing about something or working hard to prove ourselves? Do we constantly need to be working towards goals, creating challenges and over- achieving on them, eating lunch at our desk, working all through the night and making sure we are always available on our iPhone 24/7, chasing that promotion, paying debts off, completing "this" b

The Donor and IUI journey

**Any questions you may have on IVF/IUI, donors or anything to do with getting pregnant as a single mum, please contact me at my Contact page and I am happy to help out where I can**. So remember, I said I would have made the top of the waitlist in February 2015 and remember in my last couple of posts I talked about Values and Priorities... well I didn't take my own advice back then. So here I go, August 2015, over a year since my first appointment with IVF Australia. I have

The Beginning of the Journey and Priorities.... did I have them all wrong - of course!

When I set my mind to something, that's it... June 2014, another birthday which means another year older, so I made myself an appointment with the GP... asking for a referral letter to get on board this Motherhood train. After some research, I had chosen to go with IVF Australia to take me on this journey, I selected my IVF specalist and went through all of the tests... Hurrah at last I hear those words every female, who wants to be a mum at some point in her life, wants to h
