Slayin’ in Singletonville

All kids are not built equally. Some are super quiet. Some have never met a stranger. And most of the time they are not like you…at all. So the challenge as a parent comes to identifying what makes your kid tick and motivated in order to guide them on the right path. My long time friend and sorority sister Jen joins me this evening as we discuss how to adapt our parenting styles to our kids in order for them to fly.

I would be in denial if I said it didn't hurt alot. One of the hardest parts of my divorce was not seeing the kids every day. Aside from camp or sleepovers, I didn't have a child to not see him every day of his life til he was 18 . So when we rolled out our custody plan of 50/50, I felt ungrounded and like something was missing. I used to walk around the house "looking for something", knowing full well my son was at his dad's, yet I did this, convinced that I misplaced something. I occupied my time with dinner with friends, dates, and binge watching tv shows. And I also started this podcast. But a change has come. And it has allowed me to step into more of a mommy role than before. And I am sooo thankful for it. This episode is alll about the changes taking place in myself and how it has and will affect our family: a change of mindset, attitude, confidence, financial stability, focus. and overall energy. I look forward to this new chapter of my life and what will come next!

A very, honest telling of the true metamorphosis I went through after my divorce from survival mode to fun mode to now a clean, organized growth mode. I hope that in the telling of my story, you feel normal. You feel ok. And you feel not alone in your journey. Because there is rainbow after the rain my friend. Always.
