Episode 5: Single Mom AF: Dating, Judgment & Holding It All Together

This week, Kaeli and Jess kick off with a spicy round of Kill/Marry/Bang (yes, Timothée Chalamet catches a stray), then dive deep into what it really means to be a single mom. From breakups and breastfeeding to dating disasters and deadbeat dads, nothing is off-limits.

Kaeli shares what it was like raising a toddler in nursing school with no money, while Jess gets real about co-parenting with no co-parent at all. They unpack the guilt, the chaos, and the quiet wins that don’t get enough airtime. And they wrap it all up by going off on a Reddit post where a guy dumps a mom for having mixed-race kids. (Spoiler alert: microaggressions are a deal breaker.)

💬 In this episode:

• Dating while parenting solo (and why we don’t settle)
• Breastfeeding struggles and dad disconnection
• Co-parenting wins & total fails
• Reddit red flag: “I saw her kids were mixed and ran”
• The truth about single mom strength
