What is scarier, remaining in a toxic relationship that no longer serves your great purpose or the unknown? It might seem like an obvious choice, but when you’re in the thick of it, life’s complexities can often keep you from choosing the healthiest option for you and your children. Today’s guest chose bravery by stepping into the unknown of single motherhood and turned her fear around her situation into possibility. 

In today’s episode, I am talking with Kari Friedman, business owner and mom of 5, who bravely and vulnerably shares her story on becoming and embracing being a single mom. Kari advocates for the destigmatization of single motherhood by empowering single moms to take charge of their life even after hardship. 

In our conversation, we’re talking about the scariness of choosing the unknown, why there is shame around being a single mom (and how we can fix that as a society), what goes into being a single mother, and how we can support the single mothers in our lives.
