Beyond the Headlines: Inviting Successful Single Parents to Our Podcast!

Hey incredible Single Parents Helping Single Parents community,

Navigating the world as a solo parent comes with its unique set of challenges. It also demands incredible strength. There’s resilience and unique triumphs as well. You’re building lives, raising amazing humans, and often doing it all with a fierce determination that inspires us daily.

That’s why we’re constantly looking for new ways to bring you value, encouragement, and practical insights. And we’ve got something exciting brewing for our podcast!


Real Stories, Real Inspiration

Our “Single Parents Helping Single Parents” podcast is all about creating a space where we can learn from each other. We hear from experts, share practical tips, and celebrate the everyday wins. But sometimes, the most impactful lessons come from those who’ve walked a similar path and found their own version of success.

We believe that “success” as a single parent comes in many forms. It’s not just about financial milestones (though those are great!). It’s about:

  • Emotional Resilience: Bouncing back stronger from setbacks.
  • Balancing Act Brilliance: Juggling careers, family life, and personal well-being.
  • Building Your Village: Creating a powerful support system.
  • Personal Growth: Using the single parent journey as a catalyst for becoming your best self.
  • Specific Achievements: Mastering co-parenting, launching a business, or advocating for your family.

We’re Looking For Our Next Inspiring Guests!

Do you know a single parent who embodies this kind of success? Or perhaps you are that single parent?

We’re inviting successful single parents to be featured guests on the “Single Parents Helping Single Parents” podcast! We want to dive deep into their strategies, hear their challenges and triumphs, and uncover the wisdom they’ve gained along the way.

Imagine the impact of hearing directly from someone who has successfully managed [mention a specific challenge, e.g., “debt,” “challenging co-parenting dynamics,” “building a thriving career while homeschooling”] – their story could be the turning point for another listener.


Nominate Yourself or Someone You Admire!

If you or someone you know is a single parent who has achieved remarkable success (however you define it!) and would be willing to share their journey and insights, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for honest conversations that offer actionable advice, genuine encouragement, and a powerful dose of hope. Our interviews are typically conversational, lasting around 30-45 minutes, and conducted remotely for convenience.

How to start a drop shipping business for Single Parents

Starting a dropshipping business as a single parent involves several key steps. Here’s a general guide to help you get started:

  1. Identify a niche: Research and choose a specific product niche for your dropshipping business. Consider your interests, market demand, competition, and profit potential. Selecting a niche that aligns with your passion or expertise can make the process more enjoyable and increase your chances of success.
  2. Conduct market research: Analyze the market to understand your target audience, their preferences, and buying behavior. Identify potential competitors and evaluate their offerings, pricing, and customer reviews. This research will help you position your business effectively and make informed decisions.
  3. Find reliable suppliers: Look for reputable suppliers or wholesalers who offer dropshipping services. Ensure they have a wide range of quality products, competitive pricing, reliable shipping methods, and good customer support. Platforms like Alibaba, AliExpress, and Oberlo can help you connect with suppliers.
  4. Build an online store: Create an e-commerce website or use a platform like Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce to set up your online store. Customize your store’s design, add product descriptions, high-quality images, and ensure a user-friendly experience. Incorporate secure payment gateways to accept customer payments.
  5. Set up order management systems: Implement systems to manage orders, inventory, and customer information efficiently. This could involve integrating your website with order management tools, inventory management software, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Automating these processes will save you time and streamline operations.
  6. Develop a marketing strategy: Plan how you will attract customers to your online store. Utilize digital marketing techniques such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing. Leverage platforms like Google Ads and social media advertising to reach your target audience effectively.
  7. Provide excellent customer service: Prioritize customer satisfaction by promptly responding to inquiries, providing accurate product information, and resolving any issues that arise. Positive customer experiences can lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth, which is crucial for your business’s growth.
  8. Test and optimize: Continuously monitor and analyze your business performance, including sales, customer feedback, and website analytics. Identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments to your product offerings, marketing strategies, and website design to optimize your business’s performance.
  9. Time management and work-life balance: As a single parent, managing your time effectively is crucial. Set realistic goals, establish a schedule that accommodates both your parenting responsibilities and business tasks, and prioritize tasks based on importance. Delegate or outsource certain tasks if necessary to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
  10. Seek support and networking: Connect with other entrepreneurs, join relevant online communities, and seek support from fellow single parents who are running their own businesses. Networking can provide valuable insights, advice, and emotional support during your entrepreneurial journey.

Remember, starting a dropshipping business requires dedication, perseverance, and a willingness to adapt to changes in the market. It may take time to build a profitable business, so patience and consistent effort are key.

Tossing social etiquette to the wind and why would you feel comfortable enough to pose that, like you’re inquiring about?

with some humor:
In reference to my kids:
“Is his father/mother in the picture?” Ugh. That’s so rude. Why would you ask that question like he/she isn’t? And even more importantly, why would you feel comfortable enough to pose that, like you’re inquiring about where I got my sweater or who did my hair? Rude party of one.
“Maybe she’s acting out because… you know… dad’s not around.” Maybe she is. So what’s your excuse?
“Who’s his daddy?” Wow. Well, since we’re tossing social etiquette to the wind: how much do you weigh? What did you bring home on your taxes last year? Make you feel uncomfortable? OK, that’s how we feel too.
All up in my love life:
“No man is going to want you with all of those kids.” Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Thanks for making that point. And what, pray tell, would you suggest I do with these kids now that I have them? Trade them in for the man? Or give up on the man and just resign myself to a life of singleness? Bigger than that, that’s just a really mean thing to say. Sheesh.“I’ll pray for a family for you and your daughter.” Before you get into that, you might need to go on ahead and pray that my hand doesn’t accidentally land across the back of your head. Contrary to what you might think, my daughters and I together are a family. Yep, just us. Adding a man does not make us better. We’re doing just fine by ourselves.“You’ve got all them kids and now you want to be celibate?” Blank stare. No comment.
About my life in general:
“I don’t know how you do it!” I don’t either. But it gets done, so let’s not over analyze the logistics. I’m walking on water here and I’m trying not to look down.“Where’s Angelise and Raelynn?” You know, I actually stopped being pregnant 3 years ago. That was the last time we were physiologically tied together. Sometimes she does gnaw loose from that chains that apparently keeps up attached at the ankles.
“You look tired.” That’s because I am. But thank you for your transparency and honesty. Care to watch over my household while I take a nap?
Okay single parents research time< What are some thing people say or have said to you that just gets on your very last nerve??????
