1. Where do I begin?

Where do I begin?

I remember it like it was yesterday, this incredibly scary moment in my life where my family and my marriage simultaneously fell apart. I was 28, successful and single parenting, which wasn't the plan. Though I didn't have financial struggle, at least like some of you have, I wore the #strugglingsingleparent label in every other regard. I remember those initial moments feeling like an elephant was crushing me under the weight of his enormous foot. I didn't want to be a single mom, I didn't want to live alone, I didn't want to financially provide for the three of us (even though I had provided for the four of us prior). 

It felt like a tall mountain to climb, a hike towards resiliency, confidence, courage, empowerment and the ability to be unrattled. The destination felt impossible but I knew that I would continue to be knocked down if I didn't stomp towards those positive labels and personality traits that I was seeking. 

Welcome to this new podcast. If you're a new single mom or a seasoned one, you know and understand just how difficult this journey can be. Though we have similar problems, it seems that many of us are making a go of this alone. I hope you'll shoot me a message and connect at bee@embldnlabel.com. I'd love to hear a bit of your story and some of the challenges you're facing as a single parent. 

I'm cheering for you!
