In this weeks episode we bring in special guest Kaitlin Chacon from the SierraHotelEcho Podcast which is a military podcast from the female Veteran perspective. Part 1 we discuss the challenges faced not only as a female Veteran in American but being a single parent as well. So strap in team and join us as we discuss with our special guest panel the alarming rising number of single parents in our military. And why is it that military families end in separation or divorce? What can be done? What are some of the challenges our heroes face being not only military members or Veterans but single parents as well?

There’s a lot of weight on the shoulders of a single parent, and that’s taken a lot of energy away from me. It was always in the back of my mind that I had to do it, and I couldn’t count on anybody. There was no one around to pay for me to get through life. —Joanna Cassidy
