This is all about the parent. How to be a single parent. How to take care of yourself as a single parent. It's like the oxygen mask on a plane; they tell you to put on your mask before you can help others.

Part 1 is about helping YOU, the single parent. How to remain sane.

Holly Buchanan has spent the past 15 years as a single parent journeying through the many stages of raising her daughter, Lindsey, now 23.  Holly was brought up in a loving family in Missouri and Tennessee.  She earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Human Development from Vanderbilt University in Nashville.  Although never expecting at the time to be in the position of rating her daughter of 5 alone, her journey has been rich with ups and downs.  She also had to leave an abusive relationship which meant she had to learn to raise her daughter without any help from your ex-husband.

These all provided countless lessons along the way. 

With a passion to share all she has gained with other single parents facing similar challenges, Holly hopes to make their journey easier and more fulfilling by giving them specific ways to empower themselves and their kids. 

She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and has just completed her second book on single parenting.
