The Backup Plan | Meredith Brace Sloss - Invidious

The Backup Plan | Meredith Brace Sloss

40+. Single mom by choice of a toddler. Founding my own company. Not living conventionally!

Sometimes we choose The Backup Plan: I decided to grow my family on my own. My gay best friend of over twenty years is my donor and my mom and I live together and are raising my son in a multi-generational home in Southern California.

Sometimes we DON'T choose The Backup Plan: Three weeks after returning from maternity leave, I got laid off. So I cashed in my 401k and started building something of my own: Wanderous, a climate-specific travel beauty brand.

I'm sharing the updates here and on social media - be sure to check out the links below.
