I Am Single Mom, Supported

What happens to the dreams you had for your life when the future you imagined with someone else falls apart?

In this episode of I Am Single Mom, Supported, I sit down with Clarita to talk about leaving her marriage, moving across the country with her daughter, and starting over in New York. For a long time, she’d pictured herself helping make someone else’s dreams happen. As she began rebuilding, she found herself asking a question she’d put off for years: What about me?

We talk about how hard it can be to tell someone what you’re going through when you’re still making sense of it yourself. Clarita shares why leaving was a decision she came to over time, who she learned to lean on, and what it felt like to finally see herself as the one who could make her own dreams happen.

There’s joy in this conversation, too. One of my favorite moments is hearing Clarita talk about realizing that she and her daughter were already their own little family, and how proud she is of the life they’ve built together.

A Love Note for the next mama

If you’re sitting with a decision that feels too big to make, Clarita’s reminder is to give yourself time. Start by telling the truth to yourself, let someone you trust in, and take it one step at a time.

What happens when you stop trying to be everything to everyone and start giving yourself permission to simply be enough?

In this heartfelt conversation, Marian reflects on her journey through single motherhood, learning to extend herself grace, and finding the courage to open her heart to love and partnership again.

Now a wife, mother of three, registered nurse, and founder of Nurture Haven Nannies & Co., Marian shares how faith, community, and unconditional love have carried her through life's transitions, from navigating motherhood on her own to building a blended family and embracing new beginnings.

Her story reminds us that healing isn't always about becoming stronger. Sometimes, it's about allowing ourselves to soften, receive love, and trust that everything is working together for our good.

Sometimes the end of a relationship doesn’t leave you alone… it makes you realize how much you had already been carrying on your own.

In the first episode of I Am Single Mom, Supported, Naa sits down with Nahil, mother of two and cofounder of Single Moms Rise, for an honest conversation about divorce, displacement, emotional exhaustion, and the complicated work of rebuilding while still showing up every day for your children.

Nahil shares the moment she knew something had to change, what it feels like when being “the strong one” starts to feel more like survival, and the weight of carrying more than anyone around you may realize. Together, they talk about anger, over-functioning in relationships, the invisible labor women carry, and what happens when you finally stop normalizing how much you have been holding by yourself.

But this conversation isn’t only about what Nahil walked away from.

It’s about who she is becoming as she learns to release what was never hers to carry, raise her children with greater intention, make room for softness and joy again, and build the kind of community she once needed herself.

If you’ve ever been the woman everyone calls strong while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep carrying it all, this conversation may feel a little like being seen.
