In this relaxed conversation, I had the pleasure of interviewing my good friend Carla, who is an Master Sergeant in the Marine Corps and a dedicated mother. We talked about her upbringing in Belize, her decision to join the Marine Corps, and how she navigates the challenges of co-parenting her 15-year-old son.

As a single mother, Carla discusses the importance of co-parenting and the challenges she faces while raising her teenage son. She offers advice on how to maintain a healthy relationship with your child's other parent.

We also delve into the value of friendships and how they can make all the difference in our lives. Carla shares her experience dealing with her ethnic hair in the Marine Corps and how the policy authorizing sisterlocks has helped her maintain her natural hair.

Despite the late hour of our recording session, Carla and I had a great time chatting and sharing stories. Her infectious laughter and positive outlook on life make her an inspiring person to talk to, and I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I did.
