388 - Building community, with Zoë Desmond

This week on the show, I have Zoë Desmond joining me. Zoë is the Founder & CEO of Frolo, a pioneering app tailored exclusively for single parents. Zoë is also the Co-Author of 'How to be a Happy Single Parent,' a book dedicated to guiding single parents on their journey to happiness and fulfillment. Her journey in creating Frolo commenced in 2019, and it has since blossomed into a lifeline for tens of thousands of single parents throughout the UK and Ireland. Beyond just an app, it has evolved into a vibrant community, providing a nurturing, encouraging, and secure space for single parents to connect, share their experiences, seek advice, and form lasting bonds. In this episode, Zoë takes us on an inspiring journey behind the scenes of Frolo's inception. She candidly shares her own experiences as a single mother and delves into the challenges she faced along the way. Zoë discusses the circumstances that led to her relationship's end with her son's father and offers insights into the evolution of her single parenting journey. Furthermore, she highlights the transformative impact that Frolo has had on her life, recounting the incredible friendships she and her son have cultivated within the supportive Frolo community. If you're a single mum seeking understanding, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging, this episode is a must-listen. Zoë also sheds light on how you can join the Frolo community, whether it's to connect with fellow single parents, initiate your own community, or tap into valuable resources and support.  Links mentioned in the episode:  You can connect with Zoë on her Website, Instagram, or by emailing [email protected].
