Many of us use different methods to cover the pain we feel.  Brenda said she tried to use alcohol to dull the pain that engulfed her after she found herself alone with her two sons.  But living her authentic self became more important than the next drink.  So was caring for her children.

Brenda not only kicked addiction but she also spends her time mentoring other solo moms who are looking to change from a life of addiction as well. Let us know what you think about her story. Thanks for listening.

Don't Parent in Silence

Hello Solo Moms. As a solo mom of three adult sons, I understand the challenges you face on a daily basis. As a mentor, my mission is to help you shift your mindset and empower you to take control of your life, to see yourself as God sees you. I know that unresolved trauma can be a heavy burden to carry and parenting alone can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be that way. I want you to know that you are not alone. You have the strength and resilience to overcome your challenges and create the life you desire.
