Ep 9 - The Ups and Downs of Solo-Parenting: Staying Sane and Happy Through the Chaos

Are you married to a man with a career that keeps him away for long periods of time? Well, you’re not (really) alone!  Join us as we talk about the solo parenting life!  Importantly, we explain the difference between being a “single parent” and living a “solo parent” life, pulling back the curtain on the struggles and challenges that come with that lifestyle. Hey, the talk is real, as it always is! We also discuss the effects of solo parenting on our marriages and how it influences our relationships with our children. And, finally, how being a solo parent affects our personal hopes, dreams, and life plans. This isn’t a hubby-bashing convo, however. We encourage wives and mothers to be active and vocal in making their needs known openly and honestly as they seek support! “You can’t be a whole mom if you’re not a whole person…”  ~ Cyndi Grab the journal prompt Allison talked about here!
