At By Chance Ave, we believe a life without children can be deeply meaningful, joyful, and full of purpose.
Our vision is a world where every woman navigating this path feels seen, supported, and empowered to define what a beautiful, fulfilling life looks like, entirely on her own terms.

Our story began with the question: Now what?
After facing heartbreak I never expected and moments of feeling truly alone in it, I began to believe that life could still hold meaning, joy, and something worth building toward.
From that quiet spark, By Chance Ave was born a place where your story is valued, your voice is heard, and you are never alone on the path forward.


We meet you exactly where you are, and walk alongside you as you rediscover joy, purpose, and what's possible from here.
Through connection, storytelling, and practical tools for growth, we guide women navigating a life without children toward a future that feels full, meaningful, and uniquely their own.


After seven years of infertility and three heartbreaking years of failed adoptions, I lost myself. The woman I once was felt like a distant memory, but deep down, I knew I needed to find her again.
The first step was giving myself permission to grieve the dream I had held onto for so long. Letting go wasn't easy, but it opened the door to a powerful question: "Now what?" That question became my lifeline, leading me to rediscover joy, create meaning, and come back to myself.
Healing isn't a one-time event; it's a continuous journey. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting your dreams. It means honoring your story while creating space for joy and a future that feels fully yours.
The best part? You don't have to walk this path alone. I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way, with courage, grace, and hope.
Dulce de leche is my sweet indulgence. If it's on the menu, I'm ordering it. I'm basically always in the middle of a book, usually something self-help, because I can't help myself. My playlist is all over the place. Adele one minute, Pitbull the next, and I love it that way. My feet have been itching to get back to salsa dancing, and it's happening soon. I'm a morning person through and through, which means I'm probably in bed before 9pm. Don't judge. At home, our kitty Tula is the lucky one who gets all the love in our house, hence, spoiled. Ha. And travel has been good for my soul. And Kenya changed me in ways I'm still discovering. I'm already dreaming about where we go next, together. ;)
"Vulnerability is our strength—it opens the door to courage and authenticity. Connection is our guiding light, bringing us together in understanding and belonging."
