Synopsis

When Emma Johnson's marriage ended she found herself broke, pregnant, and alone with a toddler. Searching for the advice she needed to navigate her new life as a single professional woman and parent, she discovered there was very little sage wisdom available. In response, Johnson launched the popular blog Wealthysinglemommy.com to speak to other women who, like herself, wanted to not just survive but thrive as single moms. Now, in this complete guide to single motherhood, Johnson guides women in confronting the naysayers in their lives (and in their own minds) to build a thriving career, achieve financial security, and to reignite their romantic life—all while being a kickass parent to their kids. The Kickass Single Mom shows readers how to:

   • Build a new life that is entirely on their own terms.

   • Find the time to devote to health, hobbies, friendships, faith, community and travel.

   • Be a joyful, present and fun mom, and proud role model to your kids.

Full of practical advice and inspiration from Emma's life, as well as other successful single moms, this is a must-have resource for any single mom.

Goodreads review by Olivia Chancellor on January 13, 2018

This book seems like it would be great for the 30+ year old divorced single mother whom is educated, lives near or in a city, and isn’t particularly conservative (she talks a lot about sex). If you are an entrepreneur as well, then you will especially enjoy the book. If you fall outside of this demo......more
