He reminds us that joy and grief can live in the same house - and that showing up for your kids and your purpose is a powerful act of love and legacy.Go to 4Kira4Moms.com to get involved and advocate for better maternal health outcomes.________________________ We love getting Listener Letters!

We asked many single moms what their greatest concerns were regarding drawing up a will. Host Maya Fisher-French asked fiduciary expert Deenisha Nadesan of Capital Legacy to answer them. For most moms, their concerns were around who would look after their child, who would manage the money on behalf of the child, and whether they had enough to provide for their living costs and education. We covered all the questions you need answers to including: ·       Can I leave a property to my child ·       What makes a will valid ·       What happens to my pension fund? ·       Can I nominate someone other than the biological father as guardian  ·       How does a testamentary trust work, and how is it different from a beneficiary fund?  ·       How much does it cost to draw up a will ·       Who should be the executor While this was a discussion about single moms, it is relevant to any parent.  Click here for the Single Mom's Guide To a Will. 

Send us a textThis week on Cocktails & Cliterature, we're getting all up in our feelings and our fantasies, with USA Today bestselling author Kristina Forest. She's the high priestess of slow burns, the queen of soft Black love, and the reason we're all simping over emotionally available R&B boys. We dive into on-page orgasms and slow burns that actually pay off, how music and grief shaped The Love Lyric, and why Angel Hughes is the grown-ass book boyfriend we deserve. Kristina opens up about the Black Romance Festival, writing softness for Black women, and closing the Greene Sisters era with a bang. PLUS, we play “Would You Rather” and “Sip & Strip” and trust us, things get explicit. If you love your romance with heart, heat, and a good forehead kiss, hit play.

Ihr Buch "Single Mom Supper Club" ist auf der Longlist des Deutschen Buchpreis und sie bei uns zu Gast: Jacinta Nandi spricht mit Katrin über Fiktion und Autofiktion in ihrem Roman, das Leben in Berlin und London und sehr sehr viel über Amber Heard.Nominiert für den Deutschen Buchpreis: Single Mom Supper ClubLustig und unterhaltsam ist das Buch - so viel steht fest. Aber ist es auch politisch? Jacinta dachte, sie hätte ein krass unpolitisches Buch geschrieben, aber am Ende kann sie wohl nicht anders, als politisch zu sein. In ihren Figuren stecken viele Widersprüche, ihre "Supper Club Moms" haben auch nicht wenig kriminelle Energie. Dennoch basieren einige der Geschichten, etwa wenn es um Rassismus im Alltag geht, auf echten Ereignissen in Jacintas Leben. Welche das sind - das erfahrt ihr in dieser Episode.Amber Heard vs. Johnny DeppIn Deutschland gibt es vermutlich niemanden, der 2022 so viel über die Hintergründe zum viral gegangenen Gerichtsprozess zwischen Amber Heard und Johnny Depp aufgeklärt hat, wie Jacinta. Als Katrin sie darauf anspricht, gerät sie - wie sie selbst sagt - sofort in den "TED-Talk-Modus". Uns ist das nur recht, denn wir haben es 2022 nicht geschafft, das Thema so umfänglich zu berichten, wie es das verdient hätte. Da es auch um Fälle sexualisierter Gewalt geht: Triggerwarnung (kommt aber auch im Podcast).Wir haben auch ein Buch geschrieben!Am 9. September erscheint „Resist! Weich bleiben in harten Zeiten“ beim Leykam-Verlag. Das Buch könnt ihr jetzt schon vorbestellen.Außerdem wollen wir am 12. September mit euch die Buchpremiere im Pfefferberg Theater in Berlin feiern.

What if starting your own private practice meant more time with your kids, a healthier work-life balance, and the freedom to create a career that truly fits your values? That's exactly what today's guest, Erin West, set out to do and her journey is going to inspire you.Today I'm introducing you to Erin West, a speech-language pathologist and the owner of Wildflowers Pediatric Therapy in Bradenton, Florida. Erin has been in the field for over 15 years, specializing in pediatrics, feeding, AAC, and neurodiversity-affirming care.She joined the Start Your Private Practice Program and has since built a thriving practice that allows her to be present for her two children while also serving her community in a way that aligns with her values.Although Erin loved her hospital job and the colleagues she worked with, she found herself increasingly drained by the demands of the environment. As a highly sensitive person and single mom, she needed more balance and flexibility to pour into both her clients and her kids.That's when she decided to take the leap into private practice. With the support of her son and the Start Your Private Practice program, Erin transitioned from full-time employment into running her own business. Now, she sets her own schedule, collaborates with other professionals in her community, and enjoys more time with her family.Outside of her practice, she is a mom of two, enjoys collaborating with other therapists in her community, and is even pursuing certification to teach Music Together® classes as another way to support families through connection and creativity. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Taking the leap without a financial safety netBuilding a niche around feeding, autism, and sensory needsFinding unexpected community support and collaborationAnd how her 13-year-old son literally helped her run the numbers to get startedErin's story shows that you don't have to hate your job to know it's time for a change. Sometimes it's about recognizing misalignment, valuing yourself, and choosing to build something that better supports both your family and your clients. Her journey is proof that with the right mindset and support, you can create a private practice that's fulfilling, flexible, and financially sustainable.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Erin has?

Nadia Turner was the #8 finalist on the 4th season of American Idol (2005) and Zareh, also know as Za, was only four years old. In the spring of 2022  Zareh, then  21,  auditioned for AI and surprised her mother when she took her to the audition.  Zareh   performed “Bust Out Your Windows” by Jazmine Sullivan, which impressed the judges.It was such a pleasure to have a conversation with both mother and daughter at the same time, to share stories of  Nadia's mom and grandmother as well as  Za's perspective of her mother and grandmother -we're talking about four generations of strong women.Nadia says she's a very different parent today than she was in her 20's and a college student when Za was born. She's very grateful because she always new that her mother was going to be there to help her raised her two daughters.  Zareh  completely understands why her younger sister is being raised differently than she was. Zareh says that her mom was very strict when she was young but now she understands and appreciates why and respects her mother's decisions. It was, at times, overwhelming raising Zareh when Nadia was younger but now she's got a different attitude about raising her younger daughter, she  concentrates on the things that are important, the things that really matter. Rosita, Nadia's mother, originally from the island of St. Eustatius, was a single mom who worked 9-5 at an electric company. "There's never been a time when she didn't show up for me" reflects Nadia. Rosita was very supportive of her daughter, whether it was sports or a school activity, she was always there for her regardless if she truly understood her daughters passions or interests.  "I couldn't have done this thing called motherhood with out my mother, Rose," says Turner.Nadia spent quite a bit of time with her maternal grandmother, Esme, Rosita's mother.  Nadia  remembers her grandmother as "being my Zen, my peace, always very quiet and calm." She continues "she was very religious and always humming her hymns, she never raised her voice and for some reason, that moved mountains for me." When Nadia was a child and she and her mother got into an argument,  Nadia recalls simply sitting quietly next to her grandmother and holding her hand which made everything feel alright.There's so much more to learn about my two guests and the influential women that helped them become who they are today. Always so grateful for the mothers/grandmothers and female family members who preceded us to lay down the groundwork and straightened path to keep us moving forward.When I asked Za if she stands a little taller because of these strong women in her life she responds, "my grandmother and mother are my biggest idols. I look up to them for everything they do. We are a family full of women. My grandmother is present no matter what's going on. I'm so grateful and definitely stand taller."There's so much more to these two magnificent women. Hope you enjoy the conversation.Thank you for sharing your stories Nadia and Zareh.There are links below with more information regarding Zareh and Nadia Turner's latest music and singing  with the band 'Nadia Turner and the Son Kings' and more. Nadia Turner    https://www.nadiaturner.com/https://linktr.ee/nadiaturnerNadia Turner American Idol 2005   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7a7ug6DkfsNadia Turner American Idol     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d4aWIM2j_c Zareh American Idol 2022   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEgF0rWR28Zareh Instagram-styledbyzaza       https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuQ6CBHo23/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=c9062567-fbcc-47cd-bce8-bfbdee8c4142 FACEBOOK: Jackie Tantillo, SHLTMM, Nadia Turner, Zareh IsaINSTAGRAM: #jackietantillo7 #shouldhavelistenedtomymother #nadiaturnerandthesonkings #nadiacturner, #styledbyzaza #SHLTMM LINKEDIN: Jackie Tantillo, Nadia Turner 3rdTWITTER: SHLTMM, @nadiacturnerTHREADS: SHLTMM, styledbyzaza,BKSY: SHLTMM,TIKTOK: SHLTMM, dymuzic, styledbyzaza,YOUTUBE: SHLTMM, NADIA TURNER, Zareh Isa  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
