Have you ever taken a road less travelled?

Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone and followed a calling to do something, even if it feels terrifying and you're full of doubt?!

There are no guarantees in life with any choices we make.

But what is the cost of NOT following our deepest wisdom?

This is a vital question to ask ourselves whenever we are faced with a difficult decision.

The road into the unknown is often scary, full of doubt and uncertainty.

BUT, trying to reach for our dreams, rather than staying in the same place, is the path towards greater peace.

What is the cost to you of not following that inner calling you have?

In TEDx Talk "The road less travelled to motherhood", this is one of my key takeaways - which can be applied to any decision we are struggling with.

I hope this may help you get closer to the clarity you need with your tough decision.

To watch TEDx Talk, go to the link in my bio. Or, search "kerry white tedx talk".

I'm a Life Coach, with a special passion for helping women find the clarity they need to pursue their dream of motherhood, OR, to consciously let go of this possibility and get on with life with greater peace.

The women I help are usually considering solo motherhood, and aged between late-30s to early 50s.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling in this complex and challenging place, please get in touch. I am offering a FREE discovery call.

You are not alone ❤️.

A huge milestone for Freya, and me!

Freya graduated from her pre-school on Friday. A very emotional week for us both 😢
What a special place it was. She has grown so much in confidence and learning. Made so many friends. I could say so much more about this experience! The amazing teachers, the nature garden, the art..

In every ending there's a new beginning.

A new adventure awaits for Freya.
I'm so grateful we live in a safe and nurturing place, that protects, nurtures and prioritises children. ❤️ 🌟

A belated happy Easter from me and my sweet girl ❤️

Some sweet times with big and small friends! Brief, sunny spells, quiet days, taking each day as it comes. No camps, no plans, but each day holds simple pleasures - unexpected playdates, baking, swimming pool and outdoors time.

Yet, two weeks Easter hols, home alone with Freya is also challenging to be honest. Without any time or space to work, a very messy home, Freya missing friends, and not great weather... well let's say I'll be glad when school begins again next week! It can all feel a bit lonely too.

This is motherhood, solo or not!

A constant flowing between joy, fear, chaos, love, and loneliness. And the rest!

I try and go easy, be with it all. This too shall pass ... and it is passing so very fast ❤️.

A weekend well spent with old pals: the chats, handstands and dancing on the beach, hiking, food & 🍷, and lots of love and fun for Freya ❤️

Since becoming a Mum - like most of us - my life changed in so many ways. The thing I always cherish now, more than ever, is spending time with good friends.

I have found this aspect of my life quite lonely in recent years, so I made it a priority to connect as much as possible with those special people who just lift my spirit. And have we done well this year only 4 months in!!

We all need that meaningful connection - it's vital for our health and wellbeing on every level.

As a solo Mum, it can indeed be lonely and even isolating at times - so finding those people who can just be with us, in all the mess and chaos is indeed a great thing and it means the world ❤️ .

Here's to good friends, meaningful connections and love and laughter 🌟.

If you're a solo Mum, what helps you feel more connected and supported? I'd love to hear from you!

World Health Day and Maternal and Newborn Health. 🌟

This year, the WHO-led World Health Day (7th April) focuses on maternal and newborn health and wellbeing.

I realise that I'm in a very privileged minority, having had great medical support, leading to a safe and relatively easy birth.

Despite the challenges we often hear about in Ireland's health system, we really have little to complain about compared to most countries in the world.

You see, WHO has a critical and massive job when we consider the current statistics.

"..close to 300, 000 women lose their life due to pregnancy or childbirth each year, while over 2 million babies die in their first month of life and around 2 million more are stillborn. That’s roughly 1 preventable death every 7 seconds. ...a staggering 4 out of 5 countries are off track to meet targets for improving maternal survival by 2030."

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing medical professionals, including the midwives I met, and the two wonderful public health nurses who came to visit me and my newborn at home on day 2, and offered amazing practical and emotional support.

It's hard to imagine going through a pregnancy and childbirth in the conditions that most women in other parts of the world endure.

With WHO's continued vital efforts, millions of women and babies around the can hope to survive, and even thrive. 🌎

Thriving in the Workplace: Building Empowerment & Success" 🌟

It was such a pleasure to lead my practical talk for masters students on the Global Leadership Programme (GLP) UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School on the importance of Self-Awareness in achieving workplace success.

Throughout the session, we delved into key insights, discussions, and practical exercises designed to foster growth and empowerment.

Key takeaways included:

Empathy: Building strong relationships by understanding others.
Boundaries: Recognizing their crucial role in maintaining healthy work dynamics.
Purpose: Clarifying your “why” as a driver of motivation and success.
Stress Management: Techniques including breathing exercises and a self-Shiatsu acupressure point to manage your stress-response.

It was a new experience for me to create and deliver a talk for a group of students - it was fantastic! They were a very engaged and reflective bunch, which made my job all the more enjoyable.

Thanks to all the students and organisers for inviting me!

Another latecomer to parenthood!

This is my cousin Ian, pictured here with Freya at 6 weeks. We are the same age, and he just became a first-time Dad 2 days ago!

I'm so happy for him and his wife Jen. I know that Ian will make a wonderful Dad, and they will be fantastic parents to their daughter. ❤️

It's a touch bittersweet as they live in New York, and Freya would LOVE to have a little cousin in her life. So we'll just have a good reason to go and visit!

And life will never be the same again...

Isn't life amazing?! 🌟

Solo motherhood, friendships, and another birthday!

I celebrated my 55th birthday today - and Paddies day of course! - with some of my oldest and dearest friends, in a place I love.

I consider myself so blessed to have this crew of women in my life. As a solo Mum, it's just Freya and me much of the time - it can be a bit lonely and also tiring at times.

So being with these friends is the best kind of break - we all support each other in every way - we share chores, amusing or watching our kids, and we talk, share, laugh and sometimes cry. The works!

I will go home truly resourced, lighter in every way. Freya also benefits enormously - I hardly saw her all weekend she was having so much fun!

Meaningful connections and support are vital to me in my life - perhaps more than ever as a solo Mum.

I love being a Mum to Freya, yet sometimes it's challenging. The "village" just makes it all so much easier.

I can't wait for our next gathering! 🌟

Taking deep breaths yesterday outside the RTE radio centre, heading into do a live chat with Ray D'Arcy.

My 1st live interview on national radio, and I was nervous! Ever since my TEDx Talk last October, I have been speaking publicly about my very personal journey to motherhood, and each time it is a bit nerve-wracking!

I share so many personal things - on both practical and emotional levels - and there are reasons for this.

The chat began with me sharing my reasons for speaking out so openly about my journey to becoming Mum to Freya, at 49.

An important reason, and one that I didn't actually share yesterday, is that I don't want Freya growing up with any sense of secrecy about how she came to be. Why wouldn't I shout from the rooftops about the best decision that I've ever made!

I always hope that each time someone will hear who really needs to.

Thank you to Ray, and his producers at RTE, for being so empathetic and sensitive. I really enjoyed this one!

Hi everyone! I'm delighted to have some new followers here, mainly thanks to my recent interview with Roisin Ingle on her wonderful .

I have been very quiet here over the past weeks, so a hello is well overdue! As a solo Mum, one of the most challenging things for me is when Freya is unwell. It was a long Christmas.. over 2 weeks of school missed on top of 2 weeks holidays. Then a day here and there thanks to a storm and more feeling under the weather (and me too).

So, a little bit of filling up my own cup was much needed. And no better place for me - and Freya too - than the Swiss mountains with great friends. I lived near here for many years and love coming back.

That community and connection is the most helpful thing for me - and not just as a solo Mum! But, I do find that being with friends an amazing support - both practically and emotionally.

I look forward to connecting with you more here.

Solo motherhood can be a lonely journey, but you are certainly not alone ❤️

If you'd like to get in touch for a confidential discovery chat, I'd be delighted to hear from you. I offer personalised support as a Motherhood Clarity Coach, for anyone considering a non-traditional path to motherhood.

Please don't feel alone. Kerry x

Are you a potential TEDx Speaker?

Last October, I had the honour to give a TEDx Talk at . It was without doubt one of the most wonderful things I have ever been part of.

When I first saw the call for applications - my inner critic spoke up, filling my head with all the reasons why my story wouldn't be good enough for the red dot. So I was thrilled - and a little terrified - to be one of the selected speakers!

So quickly, any fears or doubts were put aside. The TEDx Tralee team were so supportive and encouraging and made every step enjoyable. We were not alone.

Now it's your opportunity!

TEDx Tralee with its theme of Women | Empowerment | Resilience is now seeking stories or ideas worth sharing. First round of applications is closing on Thursday 30th January!

I urge anyone who is interested at all to go for it! Good luck 👍

PS My TEDxTalk talk "The road less travelled to motherhood" is about my personal journey to motherhood, solo, via double donation, at 49. You can watch or listen on the YouTube platform, or click on bio here.
