I'm ashamed to say that I haven't taken a lot of prayer time to consider those in my life and community who are single parents. It's not something I've personally experienced so it doesn't come to my mind that often. But after this conversation with Elizabeth from Solo Parent, it's going to be a part of my daily prayer & call to action.
Elizabeth Cole is the Vice President of Solo Parent and the owner of Storytold PR, a public relations firm based in Nashville, TN. Her journey with Solo Parent began in 2018, following her divorce and transition into single parenthood with her son, Jax. In the aftermath of her divorce, Elizabeth found herself feeling alone, scared, and unsure of how to navigate this new chapter. Seeking support, she joined a Solo Parent group at her local church, not knowing what to expect or a single person in the room. But from the moment she walked in, she was met with the profound love, kindness, and encouragement she desperately needed. That safe space became a pivotal part of her healing journey, allowing her to walk alongside others who truly understood her struggles.
Years later, Elizabeth has combined her personal experience with her expertise in public relations, becoming one of Solo Parent’s most passionate advocates. Having witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of the organization, she is deeply committed to investing in the lives of other single parents. In addition to her leadership role, she has spent the last six years facilitating support groups, offering guidance, and helping others find the same hope and healing she once sought. Elizabeth lives in Franklin, TN, and is the proud single mom of her 12-year-old son, Jax.
Key Takeaways:
- Community is the gift none of us realize we need
- Having a place to go where others understand the experience you’re going through makes all the difference in being able to show up and be present with your kids
- There are numerous ways anyone can come alongside a single parent, and they are all simple! (see the weekly email for the practical ways mentioned during the episode)
- Few single parents realize there are resources and a community available to them, share this info with them!
