This Mother's Day, we celebrate a form of motherhood grounded in boldness, agency, and unwavering love, the path of the single mother by choice. In this powerful episode of This is My Silver Lining, Leslie Stone shares how one emotional moment at her niece's Bat Mitzvah triggered a life-changing decision: to stop waiting for the traditional path and choose motherhood on her own terms.Leslie, a former C-suite advertising executive, opens up about what it meant to make peace with uncertainty and go all-in on a path few dare to walk alone. She speaks candidly about the emotional and physical toll of navigating fertility, the surreal process of choosing a sperm donor, and the serendipity of becoming pregnant at 40 against the odds.Leslie reflects on the sacred, joyful, and affirming experience of parenting solo, how she intentionally built an extended community of support for her daughter, and the clarity that comes from living life on your own terms. Her story is a compelling reminder that motherhood is not defined by convention, but by intention, courage, and deep love..Episode Links and ResourcesLeslie StoneSingle Mothers By ChoiceSupport this podcast by subscribing and reviewing.

In this inspiring episode, we speak with Bill Burke, founder of the Optimism Institute and host of the Bluesky podcast, about the powerful link between optimism and gratitude. Bill shares his perspectives on how life's toughest challenges ultimately shape us into better, more empathetic people, and how being grateful for these experiences opens us up to new relationships and greater possibilities in the future.We dive into the importance of optimism—not as a naive perspective, but as a grounded, realistic outlook that fuels resilience, deepens connections, and helps us embrace the good in life. Bill discusses his transition from being a high-powered media executive at Turner Broadcasting where he served as the first General Manager of Turner Classic Movies to relocating his family to Portland, Maine. Ironically, it was getting off the corporate merry go round that created the opportunity for Bill to serve as Ted Turner's ghost writer on his highly anticipated biography, Call Me Ted. Bill reflects on the importance of gratitude and how cultivating a mindset of optimism can transform not only your life but also the world around you.
