What does it really mean to grow up in a single-parent home and why is there still so much stigma around it?
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Refilwe to unpack the assumptions people make about single-parent kids. From being seen as more likely to fail, to the pressure of constantly having to prove ourselves, we share our real experiences and challenge the narratives we grew up hearing.
We also question the idea that having two parents automatically guarantees successand why it’s such a big deal when someone from a single-parent background actually thrives.
This is an honest, relatable conversation about identity, expectations, and redefining what success looks like on your own terms.
