ABOUT OUR GUEST: Bijou Finney The Mushroom Mamasita, Medicine Woman, Integration Alchemist, and Retreat Creatrix I am a coach/ facilitator specializing in visionary life design for conscious entrepreneurs, couples & women desiring to come alive. My special mix of psychosomatic, plant medicine education, and therapeutic coaching heals wounds and clears blocks within the realms of pleasure, purpose, prosperity, persona and power. Maybe I owe it to my parents for naming me Bijou — a French word meaning "precious little gem" or "trinket." That name must've planted a seed in me early on: that my life was something to be treasured. Over the years, I've done the deep work to understand that truth on a cellular level. Why? Because I've seen what happens when we forget. When we disconnect from our inherent value, it shows up as burnout, discontent, and dis-ease.

Get ready, because this episode of Quiet the Clock is a ride. I'm joined by the incredible Katie Bryan, founder of The Single Greatest Choice, and she brings the kind of honesty and "I'm doing life my way" energy we absolutely love around here. Katie opens up about her raw, very real journey to single motherhood by choice — navigating divorce, fertility challenges, miscarriage, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with pursuing motherhood on your own terms. She shares how she shifted from a mindset of scarcity to one rooted in radical self-trust, and how rebuilding her support system, redefining community, and giving herself permission to choose differently changed everything. This episode invites you to challenge the old narratives around motherhood, release the pressure of timelines, and celebrate women who carve out their own path — even when it looks nothing like what society expects. Katie's story is powerful, human, and full of the kind of insight that stays with you long after you listen. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Katie Bryan is a mindset coach, community facilitator, and host of The Single Greatest Choice Podcast. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her adorable 4-and-a-half-year-old son, Miles, and poorly behaved cocker spaniel mix, Oliver. Motherhood was always part of Katie's plan, but doing it alone wasn't. When she found herself single in her late 30s, solo motherhood felt like a last resort—but surprisingly it became the single greatest choice of her life. That unexpected decision brought more fulfillment than she ever imagined, both in the experience of motherhood and in the community she's fostered. With her own pivot into solo parenting, Katie was determined to create a vibrant community of bold, brave women navigating the decision to parent on their own. Now, she's dedicated to helping these women find clarity, confidence, and connection on their solo motherhood journeys—because while we may be single, we don't have to walk this road alone.
