Description

The Life After Plus One Podcast is the place where you get real, authentic conversations without the bubble wrap, covering everything related to being a single parent. From breakups and the challenges of divorce, to co-parenting, dating again, blending families, and all the emotions in between. Each week I break down different challenges and scenarios single parents face on a daily basis. This isn’t the place to complain or to dwell on the past, it’s about finding the good in where you're at, improving your situation, and reframing life as a single parent so you can make the most of it.
