Wildfires, blackouts, floods, and evacuations don’t come with much warning — and for single parents, the responsibility can feel overwhelming when you’re the only adult in charge. This episode is about turning fear into calm, clarity, and confidence.

In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Jennifer Heller, founder of Here Comes the Apocalypse, shares practical, realistic emergency preparedness guidance for families — especially single-parent households. After navigating California wildfires with young children, Jennifer realized how little useful, actionable information exists for parents and set out to change that.

This conversation isn’t about extreme prepping or living in fear. It’s about simple, doable steps that help you feel prepared and grounded — from organizing important documents and creating emergency communication plans to packing go-bags that actually make sense for real families.

This episode is especially for single parents who want peace of mind, not panic — and who want to know they’ve done what they can to protect their kids when life becomes unpredictable.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What single parents should prepare before the next emergency

• How to create a simple, realistic family emergency plan

• What to include (and rotate) in a go-bag

• How to communicate and reconnect if phones fail

• Why preparedness is a form of self-care

• How community support reduces stress in a crisis

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to do everything — you just need a plan. Preparedness brings peace, and peace matters for you and your children.
