This is where every single mom begins. Whether you found me the day your world fell apart or months into rebuilding — you are exactly where you need to be. Let me show you how this works.
Find your phase ↓When I became a single mom, I couldn't find anything that spoke to who I actually was. Everything felt clinical, or sad, or like it was written for someone who had already given up on having a beautiful life. I hadn't. And I'm guessing you haven't either.
So I built The Modern Single Mom for the woman who is going through one of the hardest things life can throw at her — and still believes her best chapter is ahead of her. Because it is.
Over four years of rebuilding my own life — after betrayal, after loss, while running a business and raising two boys — I identified seven distinct phases that every single mom moves through on her way from heartbreak to her most powerful self. I call it The 7 Phases of Writing Your Next Chapter.
You are in one of them right now. Scroll down to find out which one.
Read through each phase below. One of them will stop you in your tracks. That is yours.
This is the moment everything comes apart. The discovery. The decision. The day your whole life splits into before and after. You are in survival mode. The future feels impossible to imagine. You are not broken — you are at the beginning.
The fog starts to lift. You begin to see yourself — and your situation — with new clarity. You are asking harder questions. About who you were in that marriage. About what you actually want. About what is no longer acceptable. This phase is uncomfortable and liberating at the same time.
You are cleaning house — literally and figuratively. Your space, your finances, your daily habits, your friendships. You are deciding what comes with you into the next chapter and what gets left behind. This is where intentional living begins.
The ground feels steadier. You are building — your confidence, your routines, your financial foundation, your sense of self. You are starting to trust your own judgment again. This phase is where a lot of quiet, powerful work happens that the world doesn't see yet.
Your life is starting to grow. You are saying yes to things that used to scare you. Travel. New friendships. Bigger goals. A social life. You have created enough stability that now you get to add more. This phase feels like finally exhaling after holding your breath for a very long time.
You look in the mirror and barely recognize the woman looking back — and that is a good thing. Your style, your standards, the way you carry yourself, the way you speak up — all of it has changed. You are not who you were in that marriage. You are becoming who you were always meant to be.
This is who you were always becoming. You lead your life like a CEO — with clarity, confidence, and intention. You have turned your story into your strength. You are building wealth, raising powerful children, and living a life that looks as good as it feels. The limit does not exist.
