Women have made great strides in society over the years making the rank of CEOs at Fortune 500 Companies, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, with a list of endless opportunities. However, one of the most significant jobs carries the title of mom. With Mother’s Day on May 8 this year, there is a group of moms that deserve an extra shout-out, the single moms. Being a mom is a very rewarding and challenging job, but being a single mom takes extra courage, stamina, and strength. Brandi Wilson, a Certified Personal and Executive Coach, author, and speaker shares her story and how she pivoted in life to forge a new successful life professionally and as a single mom.

I owe all my single friends an apology. Let me explain … This was probably a better post for yesterday, but here we go. I am loved by a lot of people and I’m so grateful for the love and support. However I’m surprised when people ask my friends something to the effect of “She’s still single? Doesn’t she want to be happy?” As if living life as a single woman and being happy can’t coexist.

LEARNING HOW TO DREAM AGAIN By Elizabeth Shane
To be honest, that’s a thought I probably expressed when I was married. And let’s not forget I wasn’t in a “healthy” marriage, I repeatedly faced trust being broken and I was lonelier married than I am single. Yet still I believed the misconception you must be in a relationship to be what society deems as “happy”. Yes, I’m happy. Next month I will have been single for 5 years and I’m truly happy. I’m okay. I’m in a beautiful place. And I’m cheering on all my single friends who are also happy. I’m sorry I didn’t realize what a gift it is to enjoy your own company and to live a complete and full life as a single person. Here’s to your happiness regardless of relationship status.
