The Wiggle, The Wait, and the Babies: Caterina’s solo journey through IVF

You may know her as the bright, bubbly Wiggle lighting up stages for kids across the country, but behind the scenes, Caterina Mete was on a deeply personal mission: to become a mum, on her own terms.

In this heartfelt episode, Caterina opens up to Davina about the emotional rollercoaster of choosing solo motherhood and going through IVF alone. She talks about the unexpected comfort she found in connecting with other solo mums, the pressure to stay positive in the face of uncertainty, and the power of choosing joy — even when the journey is scary.
