Breaking the Stigma of Single Motherhood: How to Shift Your Perspective on Being a Single Mom; with guest Ashley Simpo Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Many women prolong the divorce process because they don't want to be stigmatized as "that" single mom. Often times, when we think of single motherhood, we think of the mom that is doing it all on her own, with no help of the other parent but in many cases, this isn't typically what we see. This week Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Ashley Simpo to discuss their personal experience with single motherhood.

Michelle and Ashley will educate listeners on:

Empathizing with women who may not have the support of a co-parent financially or physically
Understanding that you don't have to be friends with your co-parent
Giving your space to rest and recharge
AND MUCH MORE

Ashley Simpo is a Brooklyn-based, California-bred writer, editor, and author. She has written essays, op-eds, and reported pieces for publications including Parents magazine, CRWNMAG, Huffington Post, Essence, Healthline, and BET. Her work and profile have been featured in The New York Times, Marie Claire, and the Associated Press.

Moms Moving On (Unfiltered): A New Partner: What to do When Your Ex Meets Someone New; with co-host Jess Evans Sep 15, 2023

Show notes

In the first few episodes of Moms Moving On: Unfiltered, Michelle Dempsey-Multack and Jess Evans covered dating after divorce and introducing your new partner to your children, but what happens when it is your ex that has someone new in their life? Even if you were the one who chose divorce, your ex dating someone new can trigger emotions you weren't expecting.

Michelle and Jess will take a deep dive into:

Managing your emotions when your ex has moved on
Not going down a rabbit hole of "what ifs" surrounding their new partner
Having conversations with your children, without interrogating them
Not feeling like you have to move on, just because your ex has
AND SO MUCH MORE!

Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle's assistant and lead coach at Moms Moving On. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn't always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents.

As a coach, Jess is passionate about empowering her clients and helping them move on emotionally after the divorce is final. She works closely with her clients to help them find new ways to fill their cup as they enter the world of co-parenting. She also enjoys working with clients to create a child-centered parenting plan that is fine tuned to avoid any grey area. If you are looking for support during or after the divorce, Jess would be honored to work with you.

Show notes

It is easy to get caught up in single motherhood and put the needs of others before your own, but this can lead to burnout, resentment and overwhelm. This week, Michelle Dempsey-Multack invited Eykiena (Keena) Crowley to Moms Moving On to share her own experience with single motherhood and how she learned to put herself first when needed. Michelle and Keena will take a deep dive into:

As a mother of a son with Autism and a divorcee, she is familiar with the mindset of a woman who wants more but doesn’t know how to get to it or doesn’t know what it even looks like. But one thing she is very aware of after her experiences of:

Being molested at 13 years old
Having a child at 14 years old
Being homeless at 18 years old
Joining the military and medically retiring due to injury
Being a combat veteran (serving a combat tour to Iraq)
Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder
Being in an abusive marriage, and going through a painful divorce
Experiencing medical issues as a result of divorce
Being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm

Is that there is a brighter life after divorce if one would be resilient and become exceptionally focused, you can have the life you desire and deserve.

From her one-on-one coaching, group training events and online seminars, she has helped thousands significantly shift their lives.
