Parenting during a global crisis changed everything. In this mash-up episode, Aisha reflects on what it meant to raise children through the uncertainty, fear, and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic while navigating single motherhood with intention and care.
This episode is for Single Mothers by Choice, Black mothers, and parents who are still processing how the pandemic reshaped their families, priorities, and sense of safety.
In this episode, Aisha:
- Reflects on parenting decisions made during uncertainty
- Discusses emotional labor, burnout, and decision fatigue
- Explores how isolation impacted both parents and children
- Names the importance of grace, flexibility, and mental health
