In her new book The 50/50 Solution, creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community Emma Johnson showcases the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in a family where the adults no longer live together. The 50/50 Solution will show you that equal parenting time leads to better physical, emotional, and mental health for children of divorce, higher career earnings for single mothers, fathers who are more engaged and whose rights as parents are preserved and far less parental and legal conflict.

In my latest installment of my monthly NextAdvisor column “Closing the Gap,” I cover the financial inequities divorced moms face after marriage. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2018, moms lead 80% of single-parent households as primary custodians—and often bear the brunt of financial obligations. But if we believe that time is the great equaliser and that equality - particularly financial equality - between men and women is critical, then a move towards equal parenting time following a divorce could support that. There are, of course, cases where either partner isn't fit to spend time with the kids or there is a history of abuse or addiction. Every family situation is individual and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But my guest, Emma Johnson, founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and a divorced mother of two children, is a vocal champion for the assumption of 50/50 parenting, making appearances in the media and state capitols to share her evidence that joint custody can help support financial equality between parents. This episode shares her perspective.
Society tells women that motherhood should be their primary source of fulfillment. This same pressure, however, is not put on men. Society pressures moms to live out this kid-focused lifestyle, deeming them lousy or lazy if they do not. Meanwhile, dads are simply let off the hook. In the same vein, women are advised to fight for full legal custody in divorce court, abiding by society's expectations of what they should do. Emma Johnson, the blogger behind Wealthy Single Mommy, is here to fight that stigma and advocate for shared parenting. On this episode of Divorce, Healthy!, Emma discusses her research about https://www.wealthysinglemommy.com/wp-content/uploads/single_mom_income_time_FINAL.pdf (how time-sharing between separated parents impacts single mothers' income). “Moms with 50/50 schedules are 300 times more likely to earn $100,000 a year — 300 times more likely to earn six figures than moms with 100% time with their kids,” Emma says. The results of her research upend previous notions of feminism, debunking the idea that moms having sole, full legal custody of children is the best outcome. Not only is it beneficial for women to have 50/50 custody, it is also in the best interests of children, making them feel more at ease, loved, and less anxious. As Emma says, “It signals to them that: my parents are equal, they both are equally committed, they equally love me, and they're here.” Tune in to this episode of Divorce!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Author, Speaker and Activist, Emma Johnson, the Founder of Wealthy Single Mommy, about the highly charged topic of fully equal shared parenting and why it needs to become the norm in families. There are few topics that raise more emotion among parents than the issue of shared parenting time or 50/50 parenting. When parents separate, they must work out a plan that involves their children being raised in two households and often they find they have very different ideas of what is best for their kids. Enter Emma Johnson, Founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and Moms for Shared Parenting, who is a leading activist in the equal parenting movement who is here to challenge the long-held societal norms that we hold so close. The belief that children are best served when they are mostly with their mother and less with their father is still deeply embedded in many parents hearts and minds as they negotiate their parenting time. Emma recently conducted a Single Mom and Income Survey which mined data from thousands of single mothers and other sources which shows that, among other key take-aways, kids do best when they are with their parents equally and the only way to close the gender pay gap is to have equally shared parenting responsiblity between the genders. This is a fascinating discussion of so many key points that counter the societal norms of parenting, equality and gender roles. This episode is a must listen for everyone, not just parents going through divorce, and Emma Johnson is the voice of change that we all need to hear!

Emma Johnson is the founder of Moms for Shared Parenting and WealthySingleMommy.com, the only site dedicated to helping professional single moms build amazing lives through career, money, dating, sex, and parenting. She is a business journalist, a speaker, and activist at the United Nations, and the author of The Kickass Single Mom: Be Financially Independent, Discover Your Sexiest Self, and Raise Fabulous, Happy Children. She joins Stacy Francis to talk about the top mistakes to avoid as divorced single mothers and what successful single mothers have in common. She also debunks a lie about alimony and child support that women have believed for years. The majority of families that are not two-parent cohabiting families have an arrangement in which the children stay with the mother, who is often financially dependent on the alimony and child support that the father is ordered to pay. The women that thrive after divorce or separation are the ones that understand that they have experienced a loss they need to grieve. Additionally, they do not attempt to replicate what they previously had and don’t feel entitled to the financial security they had before. Child support holds women back, as it is dependent on them earning less than their ex-husbands, who are then incentivized to earn as little as possible. Society will improve when women everywhere are making their own money and are financially independent.

For generations, the gender roles of fathers as breadwinners and mothers as caregivers shaped how society viewed family dynamics when a couple divorces. Outcomes of divorce from a sexist court system have forced women in particular into these patriarchal ‘ideals' – the martyr mother or the stay-at-home mom. Not only has this caused women to press pause on their lives and careers, but it has forced them into financial dependency on the ex-spouse for child support and alimony. And, just like any discussion related to money, it can get messy, stressful, and chaotic. However, as times have changed, the research and science have evolved to counter these outdated beliefs. In this episode of Divorce, Healthy! attorney and author Ashley-Nicole Russell, of https://anrlaw.com/ (ANR Law), talks to Emma Johnson, writer of http://Users/robertingalls/Lawpods%20Dropbox/Lawpods%20Team/!%20Clients/Production/Divorce,%20Healthy!/Episodes/7%20Emma%20Johnson/wealthysinglemommy.com (Wealthy Single Mommy). During this in-depth discussion, Emma and Ashley-Nicole explore how to adopt and internalize a new narrative as you go navigate separation and divorce. Emma addresses equally shared parenting and gender equality, leading a revolution that empowers women to move forward in their lives in a better, more positive way. She wants women to understand that they have power to influence how the outcome of their divorce looks, including what time spent with the other parent looks like and the power to choose whether or not to receive child support and alimony. Emma also encourages single mothers to reframe the role of money in their lives, moving away from the idea of institutionalized dependency. You can be financially independent and not have your financial worth attached to your ex-spouse. This also becomes a great opportunity to teach your children resilience and grit. Instead of spending precious time bickering over child support, put that energy into something that can improve your life. You can be a mother and co-parent to your children and still live your best life, achieving any goals that you may have otherwise considered putting on hold. For Emma, the idea of moving past conflict and being better afterward isn't just a possibility – it's a reality that many women are choosing.

This week I am excited to bring you a conversation with Emma Johnson. Emma is a business journalist, gender equality activist and a bestselling author of, The Kick-Ass Single Mom. She's also the founder of WealthySingleMommy.com, the world's largest platform for single moms and Moms for Shared Parenting, an activist organization aimed at making shared parenting the norm. And today, shared parenting is the topic up for discussion. We tackle how equally shared parenting is the ticket to gender equality, the gender pay gap, and empowering men to parent in a 50/50 shared parenting arrangement. Plus, we talk about letting go of your identity of being “just” a mom and embracing every aspect of being a woman. If you take anything away from this episode, I hope it’s this: anyone can be an activist for gender equality and shared parenting, it all starts by having one honest and open conversation about gender and parenting. Show Highlights Shared parenting is the ticket to gender equality (6:17) Why dependency is not a good look (11:21) The gender pay gap and why it is not going to be solved unless women are in places of power (12:18) Children need to have 50% equal time with their parents...period. (17:57) How shared parenting allows for a mental recharge (22:30) Empowering men to parent on their own (without the help of a partner or spouse) (25:08) Being scared to give 50% parenting over to a partner who is narcissistic and abusive (26:48) Authentically grieving your divorce and the importance of working through it (30:04) Everyone can be an activist for gender equality, challenge people around you or take steps to equalize parenting (30:53) Emma brings up the question, “Do we really need child support if childcare is split 50/50?” (33:30) Learn More About Emma: Emma Johnson is a business journalist, gender equality activist, #1 best-selling author of The Kickass Single Mom (Penguin), and founder of Wealthysinglemommy.com, the world's largest platform for single moms.

Single mothers don't get the credit they deserve for how much they're shaping our culture, our economy, and the next generation. The reality is that more and more families are the product of single mothers, and it’s time we recognize that and add diversity into the business space. Today’s guest, Emma Johnson, is a champion for newly divorced women who need to find their way to financial independence and wealth. She has some strong opinions about how women need to hold each other accountable, and while I cheer her on for some of them, you’ll hear me challenge her on others. But for the most part, I think she's doing some pretty fantastic work. Host of Like A Mother on iTunes, and founder of WealthySingleMommy.com, Emma runs the world's biggest platform for single mothers. She’s an expert on topics related to family, gender, divorce, and equality, and has appeared on The Doctors, FOX and Friends, Headline News, Jenny McCarthy Radio, as well as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Money, Time, Oprah.com.
Elisabeth Embry talks with financial journalist Emma Johnson, founder of www.WealthySingleMommy.com, about how the definition of a family is changing in the US and how women can continue to be career driven, family oriented, and a sexual being.

Making money and serving others — these two things are NOT mutually exclusive. That you must chose one or the other is a historically female message: That it's OK to be broke, because we're serving others. That the corporate world is exploitive, evil, greedy, and in direct opposition with service and generosity and community – this is false. That rhetoric is dated and it's wrong. In fact, the more money you make, the more influence and success you have, the better you are able to serve. Whether it's on a large, global scale, or a small, local scale, when you're successful, you're powerful and you can give and do more. It is possible, ladies. In this episode I discuss... How I started Wealthysinglemommy.com, and why focusing on making money from this project directly correlates with how many people I can serve Why making money benefits you, your community, the economy The history of "women's work" as a free service, which contributes to this mentality How to make money AND serve others at the same time The FULL TRANSCRIPT of this episode is available right here: https://www.wealthysinglemommy.com/help-others-make-money-same-time

Yet, single mothers continue to face a myriad of unique challenges. As most can attest, financial pressures, mom guilt, and the struggle to find a work-life balance greatly intensify when they are forced to raise children on their own.

Family means different things to different people. In a time when 51 percent of U.S. households are nontraditional-multigenerational or single-parent, for example-family is truly what you make it. Emma Johnson, SUCCESS contributing editor, single mother of two and author of the blog WealthySingleMommy.com, says it's time to stop feeling guilty or inadequate for not being the nuclear family we often see on TV. When we shift our mentality and allow ourselves to be successful both at work and at home, we find a happiness that goes beyond work-life balance. SUCCESS.com's Shelby Skrhak and Johnson chat about working parents' guilt, healthy vulnerability and the myth of the best friend.

Weird, sad and true: One of the most popular WealthySingleMommy posts of all time is this one: You are stupid if you do your own laundry. I summary, the post says: Outsource. You can't build financial wealth, control of your time, or a full, joyful life if you are at the mercy of tedious household chores you are overqualified for, and resent. For a tiny monetary premium, you can save yourself hours and hours of laundry. It's not just the time and money: It is the headspace and energy it takes to think about and manage laundry (and other housework). Why the hell do we have feminism if we're all doing so much freaking laundry?! Outsource that crap, and don't look back. But read the comments on You are stupid if you do your own laundry. People are SO OFFENDED by this notion! Some gems: It’s just laziness and stupidity. She just have to put clothes in the machine once in two weeks. It’s not like she needs do wash it by hand. And she is stupid to wash clothes after one wear if they are still clean and smells OK. I just still don’t see it. It really doesn’t take that long at all. I do it in my FREE TIME and it only takes a minute to throw it in and I talk to my daughter or watch tv for the ten minutes it takes to fold. I don’t have to leave work early to do laundry or anything, so I don’t see how paying someone to do your laundry makes you money. You’re just a rich stupid [bleep!]! Okie dokie! Have a listen to this episode of Like a Mother for more on this (surprisingly) contemptuous topic! Dirty socks and tank tops!
A few years ago I wrote this post: Why single parents should put kids second when dating. It is by far one of the most trafficked posts on WealthySingleMommy, and one of the most polarizing. And the more I read and write on the topic of single moms and dating, the stronger my stance: In a serious relationship, your romantic partner comes first. I meet most men that I date online. It's very common for guys with kids to write in their OKCupid profiles: "My kids come first," or "My daughter is the center of my world!" I get where you're coming from. You want a potential mate to know that your life includes the giant presence of a kid or four. You also want women to know you're a devoted dad (it's no secret chicks get hot for guys who are great with kids!). Got it. Roger! But I bristle at those lines. When it comes to relationships, I'm fond of saying, You never really knows what goes on between people. But there are a few couples in my life who I look to as models of the kind of marriage I'd like one day. People who really enjoy each other. Respect and support one another. And in these families, the parents put their relationship before the kids. They are the dynamic centriforce around which the family's life orbits. And everyone thrives as a result.
Tradition has the man taking the lead in romance. We ask women out, we initiate sex, and we ask for their hands in marriage. But should those roles be reversed? If they were, how would men react?

In this episode, Shannon talks to Emma Johnson, founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and the Like a Mother podcast about what advice she has for single moms who are trying to get financially fit while raising their kids.
Today's guest is a longtime business and personal finance journalist. Emma Johnson is the founder of Wealthy Single Mommy, a website dedicated to professional single moms where she shares advice and discusses topics like career, money, parenting and dating. She also recently launched her own podcast, Like a Mother with Emma Johnson, which was named by U.S. News as a "Top 15 Personal Finance Podcast." Emma also has her own video course, How Not To Be a Broke Single Mom. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
In blog post this week on WealthySingleMommy.com I shared how my boyfriend of three months spent the night for the first time with my kids home. My kids were a little confused -- and I suggest listening with respect to your children's concerns about your dating. But mostly it was normal. Because dating and sex and parenting are normal. Our culture tells mothers that they have no right to be sexual adults with romantic needs. Bullshit, I say. In this episode I share what happened with my family, and also welcome guest Ray, an old friend who gave me grief on Facebook earlier about how repeats of different men sleeping over is going to be really bad for my kids. Um, hello. My kids have met exactly two men I've dated -- the last one three years ago. Why default to the "single moms who date are filthy whores whose parade of lovers will corrupt her kids" ? We have at it. It's fun, but also to the point: every family is different, dating and being a mom are not incongruous, and the party-line view of moms dating needs to be turned around.
On my blog WealthySingleMommy.com I've been writing a lot about outsouring -- and how paying someone else to do your laundry, clean your house and other mundane tasks is the key to making the most of your time and energy. In fact, outsourcing is critical if you want to get ahead -- no matter if you are poor or filthy freaking rich. Women often refuse to hire these services without thinking logically about them, instead reverting told, tired gender roles that tell women that good moms, wives and women clean their own floors and do their own wash-and-fold. You have to get over these mantras if you want to get ahead. I help caller Yoli figure out how to outsource her most loathed household task -- grocery shopping, a chore that each week costs her 2.5 hours, untold anxiety, and in the event she doesn't do it, this single mom resorts to restaurant food, which of course is more expensive and less healthy. To boot -- she lives in rural Colorado, so by outsourcing each week, she saves risks to her life when driving on mountain roads in the winter!

No one can afford to be a full-time stay at home parent, says my guest Emma Johnson, founder of WealthySingleMommy.com. In this interview she explains why she believes no parent can afford to stay out of the workforce full-time to care for children. She examines the history of stay at home parents, and says that "too many women are making decisions based on a fantasy." She also shares her ideas for how to handle the juggling effort between parenthood (especially single parenthood) and work. She even offers tips for outsourcing the household chores you hate. Listen and decide for yourself whether you agree with her. This episode aired live July 15, 2013.
