Joining in the Single Mom Revolution

Judy I could have spent all day talking to Honoree Corpron Corder on Single Mom Revolution Radio.

I am so amazed that, in just under an hour, we covered so much ground on dating, breaking up and taking good care of yourself when you are a single mama. We never did quite make it to the topic of shoes, but I will assure you that I was doing a little clicky-heel happy dance throughout our conversation.

Not only was it a nice little opportunity to put my land line to use, it was a chance to compare stories about how soon we started dating, what we had to get accountable as relationships ended, and what is really at stake when a single mom has a social life. My favorite few minutes was talking about the necessity of what I call (and I am sure that Honoree  has a much more genteel term for it) the whore period following a divorce or end of a major partnership.

At the end of the show, I said that I would welcome stories, advice, and questions from single parents here. I hope you will take me up on it.

Was breaking up harder for you to do as a single parent than it was before you had kids? What got you through? What words of wisdom to have to offer to other single parents who are dating? Do you agree that some degree of whoriness is a rite of passage when people get divorced or split up from a significant partnership?

If you missed it or if you feel that our voices soothe you into such a tranquil state that you want to listen over and over and over again, simply press play below.

And if you would like to listen to Honoree and Morgan's past shows or be alerted about their upcoming topics and guests, click here.
