How to Thrive as a Solo with Robert Beeson, founder of Solo Parent

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha speaks with the founder of Solo Parent, Robert Beeson, a successful Grammy-award winning music executive who found himself as the sole parent of three young girls. They talk about common misconceptions about single parents, how to support single parents, and the growth that comes in what Robert calls the "solo season".  You don't want to miss this episode!  About the guest:  Robert Beeson is the founder of Solo Parent, a nonprofit that provides community, support and restoration to thousands of single parents all over the world. Prior to his work with Solo Parent, Robert had a 17-year career as a Grammy Award winning music executive, overseeing the signing and/or development of artists like Jars of Clay, Third Day, Michael W Smith, Casting Crowns and many others.   In 2006, at the height of his career, Robert's life changed dramatically when his wife left and he found himself raising his three young daughters on his own. Crushed and broken, Robert went searching for support and help for single parents. Unfortunately he came up short and found that there just weren't resources. He felt so alone. During his Solo season, as he calls it, Robert found that his brokenness led him to one of the greatest gifts of his life - a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. Over time, his wounds healed, he came out of the fog, and found that his life had been transformed by God's grace and love.  Although this wasn't the path he would have chosen, it altered his course and reframed his understanding of every aspect of life. Realizing that more than a third of American households are run by single parents, Robert saw a huge need and wanted to share what he learned with others that had experienced similar pain.   In 2017, Robert started Solo Parent —launching the movement to help single parents and their families thrive. Today, the organization provides in-person and online groups 7 days a week with participants from around the world, a weekly podcast with more than 350,000 downloads, the Solo Parent app where thousands of single parents connect, daily meditations, e-books and other online resources, and so much more.   The results have been overwhelming - lives and families are being transformed. But there is still much to do. Even though Solo Parent has served more than 189,000 single parent families, that's still only one-percent of single parents in America. And so, Robert's mission continues—helping single parents find hope, healing and purpose.  Episode Links:   Brave Enough 2023 CME Conference Brave Balance 2023 Order Brave Boundaries Follow Brave Enough:   WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDIN Join The Table, Brave Enough's community. The ONLY professional membership group that meets both the professional and personal needs of high-achieving women.
