96. A Married Single Mom, Pt. 1 | Interview w/ Tamika Coleman

This conversation is a wake-up call. Society has made so many women believe that maternal instincts are simply supposed to kick in magically and that we don't need any more help because we are supposed to know everything about motherhood since day 1.  For Tamika Coleman, these unfair expectations were what forced her to take on the default parent role. In this episode, Tamika speaks about her experience of being a married, single mom and how it made every aspect of motherhood feel like she was doing it all alone. She also shares her story of denying her painful truths, and how she was able to get back on her feet by finally getting the help she deserved all along.
