Today's episode is one that many of you asked us for – what does it take to have a child on your own? Whether you're sure you want kids, still trying to decide, or want to be child-free, this week's guest has many life lessons that can help you figure out, or reaffirm, what's right for you. Alexandra Collier was 37 and living in Brooklyn with the man she loved when she woke up to a ravenous hunger to have a baby that unfortunately her younger partner didn't share. What happened next is an extraordinary story of courage, hope, and what it means to start a family on your own terms. Alexandra's memoir Inconceivable: Heartbreak, Bad Dates and Finding Solo Motherhood is a moving account of that journey, and she shares with Jill the logistics, emotional complexity, financial implications and judgement she faced when she chose to become a single parent. But she also speaks of the joy and empowerment she's found in following her own path, and what life looks like for her now with a five-year-old. Alexandra is an award-winning Melbourne writer who has written for theatre, screen and print.

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR

We spar over a recent listener's email critiquing the show, with Mike's biting response setting the tone: Don't like it? Don't listen. The debate over listener loyalty quickly spirals into discussions about free speech, political divides, and an unexpected autofellatio advocate from YouTube, proving once again that no topic is too taboo. The team then veers into a humorous, yet candid, conversation about the logistics of drug testing and the subtle art of peeing in a cup. Ally bravely fields questions from Keith and Mike about the surprisingly complex mechanics of female urination. If you've ever wondered why women might need to wipe differently or how men view their anatomy post-pee, this segment has your answers. The hosts take a dive into the motivations behind "natural conception donors" -— guys who offer up their sperm the old-fashioned way for women seeking motherhood sans relationship. What positions do they use, and how does the dynamic play out emotionally? Ally gives her two cents on the likely etiquette and logistics. Later, YMMV explores the shifting social landscape where more women are opting for single motherhood by choice. The team discusses if this trend is part of a broader cultural shift or simply a case of personal preference meeting technological possibility. Finally, the hosts dive into one listener's personal dilemma: how to keep a spark alive in a long-term relationship when the sex drive seems unbalanced. Keith, in particular, shares his own experiences with the delicate dance of desire, while Mike and Ally weigh in with practical advice. Should she stay, or should she go?

Hailing from a family of Cambodian genocide survivors, Sathya Patterson's parents worked diligently to support their family. Starting with recycling cardboard and cans, they eventually built a small business empire that allowed them to retire in their fifties. This success was achieved through hard work, saving, and making prudent investments in real estate, gold, and diamonds.  Building wealth through hard work, wise investing, and living within one's means,  coupled with forgiveness and compassion as integral paths  to healing trauma and cultivating self-love, can lead to personal and financial freedom. Sathya Shea Patterson's journey exemplifies this principle. Patterson's experience as a single mother at a young age further reinforced the importance of financial stability. She returned to school when her daughter was three months old, earning a finance degree from Cal State Fullerton.  Patterson's journey to success in the financial world was also largely due to her commitment to showing compassion towards those who have caused harm, recognizing that they may have been acting from a place of confusion or pain. By delving into her inner child and offering love and acceptance, a spiritual journey and practice that began in her 20s, she was able to heal past wounds and nurture a sense of self-worth.  Join Aaron and Sathya for a heartfelt discussion on finding purpose, choosing compassion and forgiveness, and embracing life to the fullest.

"My dad was so proud to be an American. He said, what's American? Country music? Give me more of that Garth Brooks, you know? So I grew up listening to country music. That's how proud he was to be here." "It's time to be your own divine mother and father." “When I'm struggling with forgiveness towards somebody that's hurt me, I often picture them as a child." "Good people have beautiful relationships. Good people have friends. Good people have wealth. Good people get all the good stuff about life." "Instead of asking, how do I make more money? Instead ask, who do I need to unbecome to allow more money into my life?"
