When It Worked

When my youngest daughter was just three, my entire world was turned upside down. I was walking a tightrope of life. A divorce, the loss of my beloved mother, my best friend, and juggling a challenging job at IBM.

It was like being swept up in a storm, with waves crashing over me relentlessly. But amidst this chaos, my reasons for pushing through were two tiny lifeboats - my beautiful daughters. They deserved a mother who was more than just surviving, they deserved a mother who was thriving.

About Michael Huber

I pursued a career in sport psychology after almost 20 years in the corporate world. I was inspired to make this change through recovery from a gambling addiction, as well as by the dysfunctional things I witnessed as a sports parent and volunteer coach. My mission is to give young athletes and their families the tools to successfully navigate an increasingly challenging and sometimes toxic youth sport environment.

About Harmony Woodington

It all started in 2012. I was an esthetician working in a tiny little spa, barely making more than minimum wage. At the same time, I was a single mother raising a 12-year-old son on my own, constantly battling to provide for him. I had worked hard his entire life, determined that he would never experience the poverty and struggles that defined my childhood.

But it was rough. There were days when I didn’t know where our next meal would come from. The phone was constantly being shut off, forcing me to give friends new numbers and lie about the changes. There were cold showers because the power was out, and nights spent bundled in layers because the heat had been cut off. I remembered feeling the same desperation as a child, when my dad couldn’t afford to give me the things my friends had, and how it broke his heart to say "no."

About James Bollen

I am the founder and president of Secure Single, a top 25 single life website. I am also an entrepreneur, blogger, and author.

Secure Single can help you chart your course toward confidence, happiness, and prosperity to thrive as a single person!

I am the author of Thriving Solo: How to Flourish and Live Your Perfect Life (Without A Soulmate). The book is available on Amazon.

I am a blogger who writes primarily on the Secure Single website on a wide range of topics from single life to demographics to personal finance.

I am a committed contrarian. Based on my reading and understanding of demographics, fertility, and financial data, I have a reasonable pulse on the direction of younger people, particularly Millennials.

Attending college could be a wrong life choice and a financial decision for someone. I say this after spending nearly a decade in the higher education system.

More younger people are recognizing that college is an unnecessary step that society requires people to go through.

I can also discuss the changing job market, which has moved from traditional full-time jobs to part-time and gig work. Economic policies have led to this result.

I can discuss types of business structures and why having the proper business structure is critical for tax and legal reasons.

I now primarily focus on finding ways to create revenue streams for my online business, Secure Single.

You can visit my website to see the topics that I write about.

About Stewart Ervin

Since I was a young teen, I have loved business. The struggle for me was not knowing which direction to go with my future. I was blessed to have started my first business at 16 years old. While attending college, I was able to work in a small business, holding nearly every position possible within a company. I then moved into a large corporation before rounding out my experience as an entrepreneur. I've always believed in the power of innovation and entrepreneurship to change lives and shape the future.

About Liz Mugavero

I’ve been a writer since I could hold a pen. As a kid, I used to demand my mother read to me until I could do it on my own, and from then on my nose was always stuck in a book. I wrote it all—bad poetry, short stories, even the outline for a soap opera during a Days of Our Lives kick. I would even sit at my mother’s old typewriter and type out chapters of my favorite books to see what it felt like to actually write a book. In fifth grade, I wrote an essay describing my success as an author, and I’ve been on the path to achieving that dream ever since.

I blame my grandfather for my fascination with crime, serial killers and murder—he was a detective, and although he never regaled me with any really juicy tales, it didn’t stop me from making them up. I was—still am—obsessed.

About Naeemah Elias

I grew up in poverty on the south side of Chicago. I went to Harvard, became a professional actress and puppeteer, became a mom (then single mom when the kids were 2, 4, 6), built a corporate career, and finally launched my own coaching practice. It's been a Whole Journey!!

I have 3 focus areas:

1. Thriving as an Outsider - I coach people to overcome cultural blockers to achieve their full potential, and I coach leaders to create space for growth (their own, and their directs')

2. Public Speaking - I teach public speaking from an actor's perspective in corporate settings. And I speak on the power of effective communication.

3. I've raised 3 teens, primarily as a single-mom. They are all going to school internationally, and our focus has been on independence and responsibility.

About Justine Beauregard

I got my first sales job in 2007, and (as you can probably imagine) it was awful.​

I was plugged into an automated cold calling system, given a bad sales script, and spent my days being told "no" or ignored for hours a day.

One day, my supervisor left me in charge and I was inspired to sell in my own way - and it worked! Not only did I make a sale, but the person I was selling to offered me even MORE than I asked for on the call.
