Navigating the Path of Solo Parenting with Guest, Sara Sweat, MA
Did you think you’d be in a relationship by now? Being single longer than you intended can mean that you have let go of hopes that came along with having a spouse or partner in the picture. This can certainly include having a family. But my guest and dear friend Sara Sweat decided that she wasn’t willing to give up on that desire. Instead, she decided to reimagine her future, and pursue that dream, while accepting the challenges that come with solo-parenting. In this episode, Sara helps us understand the distinction between single parenting and solo parenting and why even on the hard days, it has been 100% worth it.
Because Sara is a tribe sister and soul mate, I have had a front-row seat to the unfolding of the miracle that her son is. We talk about the way she relied on her village from early pregnancy until now. Though taking such a non-traditional route like solo-parenting can be scary, Sara was delighted to discover how many people were so eager to support her. We also talk about the interesting challenge of dating as a solo parent. Sara shares how dating is both trickier and simpler in this season of her life. If you’re single and the dream of having children is not something you’ve been able to release, I challenge you to listen to Sarah’s story and consider the possibility that you might not have to let go of that dream.
In this episode we’ll explore:
- Why solo-parenting implies intentional acceptance
- What unique challenges and joys a solo parent encounters
- How Sara’s community plays a critical role in raising her son
- How Sara can vet a potential dating match in just one conversation
