I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 9: About Money
One of the frustrating parts of adulting, is managing your finances, at least for me- it’s definitely NOT the sexy part and for the most part as a single parent, I find it frustrating to not have as much expendable cash at the end of each month to “make it rain” with. So, during lockdown, […]

I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 8: Intimacy
Let’s talk intimacy, but not the kind you’re used to hearing about.

I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 2: Vulnerability
I was always shown the stoic, resilient, strong female, they are celebrated in our family (as they most definitely should be), but sometimes I wish I knew about their worries.
