“If the Glass Slipper Doesn't Fit, Screw the Fairy Tale.”
"I wrote this book for single women who hear their biological clock ticking louder and louder. I hope my journey inspires you to follow your heart and create a family on your own terms."
- Cheri Bergeron
“With knowledge, courage, determination, and a village that loves you, nothing is impossible. As a community of women on a mission, we can figure this out together.”
I experienced the never-ending pressure to follow an outdated fairy tale that says you need to find the perfect partner before you can start a family. I felt the ache of wanting motherhood and watching precious time slip away when the pieces wouldn’t fall into place.
Here's the truth women need to hear: There is no "right” way to build a family. There’s only the way YOU choose. It’s time to write a new fairy tale–one that fits your situation, needs, and dreams.
I learned the hard way. Foster care heartbreak. Fertility treatments. Devastating losses. Neonatal ICU trauma. And a landmark Texas custody battle.
Every struggle led me to become the proud mom I am today.
About a year after achieving my mission, I realized I wasn’t done. To create a lasting impact, I needed to share my experience with others. So I made a commitment to vulnerably share the triumphs and tragedies from my journey to help women navigate their own paths to motherhood with greater awareness and confidence.
From one girlfriend to another, you don’t need a Prince Charming to create your happily ever after.
Let my journey show you why waiting for the perfect fairy tale might cost you your dreams.
Take back your power and chart your own path to motherhood—starting now.
