Episode Summary

In this episode of Ask the Expert, I speak with certified coach, counselor,  educator, and my long time friend, Tameka Williams-Walker, a.k.a. Coach Tami. Coach Tami explains that there is a stigma placed on women who are single. This stigma causes some women to see singleness as a curse and makes them believe that they have to get married to be made whole. She debunks the myth and tells us how single women can enjoy and make the best of their single lives.
