Your life is not a collection of seperate decisions.
Life Planning for Single Women; because when life doesn’t follow the traditional sequence, decisions rarely arrive in the traditional order.
Career affects money. Relationships, money and career affect where you live. Work affects money, time and family. Relationships affect family plans.
Fertility has its own timeline.
And every decision, including waiting, creates ripples across the rest of your life.
Without attempting to solve everything at once, Solospheres Life Planning for SIngle Women helps:
- See the whole picture
- How the pieces fit together
- Work out what matters most now
- Plan for different possible futures
You don’t have a fertility decision, a relationship decision or a career decision. You have a life.
Solospheres is for the moments when the variables collide.
Examples of Life Planning for Single Women
Should I freeze my eggs? What is my plan after that?
How long do I wait for a relationship to become the partnership I want?
Life Planning seems hard if I am not sure if I will be single or with someone?
Do I become a mother alone?
Can I change career while planning for a family?
Where should I live if the life I’m building looks different from the one I expected?
What needs to be true financially, emotionally and practically for the option I want to actually work?
We look beyond the decision itself to what it changes across all the variables in life, how those ripples interact over time, and what needs considering in your internal and external worlds; so that life planning builds you something you want, and something that feels sustainble!
Hi! I’m Amy Stephenson
I’m a life strategist specialising in complex, interconnected life decisions.
I created Solospheres because life planning for single women can be a tough gig these days. Major life decisions aren’t made between static variables. Change one thing and the rest of the equation moves.
My work combines strategic thinking with lived experience of some of the decisions I now write and speak about, including fertility preservation, becoming a single mother by choice, changing careers and starting over by moving countries.
I help women move beyond endlessly analysing individual decisions and understand the life they are actually trying to build; and what needs to happen to make it viable.
As seen in Women’s Agenda
Egg Freezing gives women options. But what comes next?
Solospheres Founder Amy Stephenson writes about why preserving your fertility is only one part of planning the life you want.
The Solospheres Life Equation
Solospheres uses a proprietary decision-making framework to look beyond the decision itself.
We assess across the different spheres of life:
Family & Fertility
Love & Relationships
Work & Purpose
Money & Security
Home & Place
Community & Belonging
Health & Wellbeing
We map the Variables shaping your life: Structure, Infrastructure, Capacity, Constraints, Desires and Unknowns.
We examine the Ripples a decision could create across the different spheres of your life: Interdependencies, Consequences, Momentum, Trajectory, Timing, Tensions.
We also fator in your personal Internal Atmosphere and External Environment.
The result isn’t a generic answer or a pros-and-cons list, but a clearer view of what is possible, what the trade-offs are, and what needs to be built around your decision to make it work in real life.
Variables + Ripples + Internal Atmosphere + External Environment = The way forward
