Welcome to the very first podcast episode from The Single Mom Society created exclusively in conjunction with our off-social media platform: www.single-mom-society.mn.co

Welcome to the very first podcast episode from The Single Mom Society, created exclusively in conjunction with our off-social media platform: www.single-mom-society.mn.co This June, our theme is "Single Mom Summer," the ultimate survival guide for navigating the chaos, heat, and expectations of solo-parenting during summer. But this episode goes way beyond basic tips like "how to beat the heat." Your host, Jennifer Muscatel, dives deep into the real stuff like how to ditch mom guilt, build meaningful (and affordable) new traditions with your kids, and use powerful neuro-linguistic programming techniques to anchor your mindset. The goal of Single Mom Summer is to help you stay grounded and present so you can be the best version of yourself, for both you and your kids.

What do Post Malone and your emotionally unavailable ex have in common? They're both masters of dodging child support - and are getting away with it.

In this episode, I call out the BS happening in family court and pop culture, where millionaires manipulate the system while single moms are left holding the bag.

Then I sit down with the brilliant Poonam Sharma to talk about how we manipulate ourselves through cognitive dissonance - the sneaky little mind tricks that confuse our hearts and keep us from leading our lives authentically. ✨ This episode is about waking up. Letting go. And finally living well. Even if the court won't help us — we can still help ourselves.

You tell your friends you finally met him. The one you've been searching for. No one's ever made you feel so adored, so seen, so special. He showers you with gifts, sweet words, and promises that feel like a fairytale come true. But just as fast as he appeared … he's gone.

If you're lucky, he ghosts you. If you're not? You're left with a cold, cruel, or controlling version of the man you thought you knew, as if the person you fell for never even existed.

In this fire episode of The Single Mom Society, I'm joined by the one and only Stella Pierson from @TheLoveBombed - the queen of calling out romantic manipulation. 💅

We break down: 💣 What love bombing really looks like 💣 The 3 stages of love bombing (and the emotional aftermath) 💣 Why some love bombers come back even after they've discarded you 💣 How this toxic behavior shows up in all types of relationships (not just dating!) 💣 And Stella's BEST dating advice for spotting manipulators from a mile away

If you've ever said "but they were so amazing at first…"—this one's for YOU. 🎧

Did he cheat on you? Yes, that is part of you, but you are so much more than his choices.

This week, I sat down with the unstoppable Shalon Barnett—a single mom who faced heartbreak and betrayal when the man she loved tried to tear her down. But she never quit. With her daughter as her motivation, Shalon rose from the ashes and turned her pain into power. Not only did she rebuild her life—she's made it her mission to help other women rise too. Her story is raw, real, and filled with hard-earned wisdom that will speak to every woman who's ever felt broken but refused to stay down. If you've ever been blindsided, broken down, or left to fight alone—this episode is your reminder: you are not alone, and you are not done.✨

This week on The Single Mom Society, I'm joined by Stephanie Lastella, The Date Profiler, to talk about the red flags we clearly see but choose to ignore.

• 🚩 Why do the most incredible women believe in men who haven't earned their trust?

• 🚩 How does trauma bonding get mistaken for love?

• 🚩 What are the sneaky tactics narcissists use to hook us in?

From love bombing to manipulation masked as "passion"—we're breaking it all down. Press play, then send this to the friend who still thinks she can "fix" him. 🙃

Get ready to reclaim your power, your peace, and your damn intuition.

We're taught to draw the line at physical abuse—like that's the only kind of pain that counts. OK, maybe he didn't leave a bruise, but did he humiliate you? Ignore your boundaries? Make you question your sanity?

In this episode, I unpack why we so clearly reject physical abuse while giving emotional abuse -especially from a romantic partner - a free pass. And let's be real: would you ever let a friend treat you like that?

It's time we stop chasing soulmates who destroy us. We should be looking for soul connections like Molly & Nikki in Dying for Sex - not Ralph Pittman from Real Housewives of Atlanta or Ryan, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's post-prison disaster.

Ahh, nothing says "love" like emotional manipulation.

In this episode, I share how coercive control sneaks into your life—through partners, employees, even friends—and how to spot it before you're Googling, "Am I the toxic one?"

Spoiler:

"You're overreacting" is never just feedback

Neither is: 👉 "You're too emotional." 👉 "You're remembering it wrong." 👉 "I was just joking." 👉 "Don't be so sensitive." 👉 "You always make things about you." 👉 "No one else has a problem with me—just you." 👉 "You're taking this the wrong way." 👉 "You're so difficult to talk to."

If someone's always "clarifying" your reality, it's not support—it's strategy. 🎯 🎧 Listen now to He Gaslights Me Because He Cares on The Single Mom Society Podcast - available wherever you get your podcasts,

I'm coming out! As the mess I am! The truth is that I recorded this week's episode about twelve times and then deleted every version! I finally realized—who cares? No more tiptoeing around my perfectionism. Life is messy, and this show can be too.

So, in this episode you'll meet my most authentic self. And my dog - you'll hear him squeaking his favorite ball in the background!

This week we are moving away from expert opinions and hearing from me about this week's pop culture that affects single moms. From Kanye to Kim K, Puff Daddy to Beyonce and Lebron to Puff Dsddy.

I also give a sneak peak into the Single Mom Society community I'm building for us online where we can connect, vent, and support each other without trolls or judgment. Because we need more than just relatable content—we need community.

Co-parenting is hard. Co-parenting with an addict? A complete nightmare.

This week on The Single Mom Society, I sit down with Jill Weinstein, an addiction counselor who gives us the real, unfiltered truth about parenting alongside substance use disorder. How do you protect your kids? What boundaries actually work? Does the system protect you? And how do you keep your sanity when the other parent is in chaos?

I'm sharing my own experiences, asking the tough questions, and getting the expert advice we ALL need. If you've ever felt trapped between keeping the peace and keeping your kids safe or are dealing with a co-parent who struggles with addiction - this episode is a must-listen. 🎧🔥
