Show Notes
We’re keepin’ it real today, folks. I recorded this episode in my car outside a coffee shop under a fuzzy jacket with a mini travel mic, because life doesn’t wait for the perfect setup…especially when you’re a single parent running a business and juggling all the things (it me).
I’m finally sharing parts of my childhood I’ve only scratched the surface of in 15+ years of therapy, how it’s shown up in my current reality of motherhood, dating, and social life, and what it’s taken to break patterns I was repeating from my parents’ divorce.
I’m talking about the messy, layered truth of single mom life - spinning plates, confronting shame, and the constant challenge of not letting labels define me. Listen in to learn about the power of softening, receiving help, and allowing space for healing.
Here are the Highlights:
(02:51) - Growing up with a single mother
(09:48) - Repeating childhood circumstances as an adult
(19:26) - Becoming a single parent overnight going from Executive to food stamps
(25:43) -The layer of shame I’ve carried
(26:56) - The stigma linked to the label “single mom”
(32:24) - How checking our ego and learning to receive is the ultimate superpower
