Hello, all you beautiful people out there!
Happy Holidays! Well, we hope they are...
Twas the week before Christmas, do you have your wine cup? Because Anthony & Nicole are back together, podcasting it up!
Yes, that's right! The dynamic duo is back at it again to talk all things Christmas and Holiday season!

Single moms, single dads out there...Let's get into it!

Hello, Hot Single Parents! This week, we're doing a spicy Q&A!As we've done in a past episode, our hosts take advantage of the fact they they have someone sitting across from them who may help shed some light on why men and women do certain things.

Hello, all you beautiful Single Parents out there! Hot Entrepreneur Summer continues by bringing back a fan-favorite guest! We're thrilled to welcome Jessica Doretti back to explore why single parents are uniquely poised to build successful businesses, brands, and ventures—and how embracing change is the secret ingredient to do these things! Anthony and Jessica explore how the everyday attributes that single parents must develop—resilience, strong-mindedness, patience, and meticulous planning—aren’t just survival skills for parenting, but essential traits for entrepreneurship. Traits such as: How juggling daily responsibilities mirrors running your own business. And how time management, adaptability, and financial know-how—all honed through parenting.However, sometimes, to step into these big ventures, we must accept and embrace change. This can be scary because sometimes comfort can be the trap that keeps us stuck. But when we acknowledge that change is a part of life, then the sky's the limit to what we can accomplish as single parents.Whether you're a single mom, single dad, or anyone considering entrepreneurship, this episode is your go-to for turning daily parenting resilience into thriving businesses.

Hello, all you beautiful Single Parents out there! A hot new episode of the podcast has entered the Villa! As a self-proclaimed junkie of reality TV dating shows, our host Anthony is currently deep into all things Love Island USA! In this season of the show, one of the main cast members is a single mother named Huda Mustafa! This excited us because we were looking forward to seeing some positive, mainstream single-parent representation...However, Huda has made a name for herself on the show as someone about whom people have a lot of opinions, and Anthony is no exception! In this episode, we'll pull you for a chat to dive deep into Huda Mustafa’s journey as a single mom on Love Island USA (Season 7), and how it resonates with our experiences as single parents.Highlights include:Co-parenting stereotypes: Why do people instantly assume the “other parent” is lacking when they only know one side of the story?Identity in dating: Is there a difference between saying “I’m a mom/dad” versus “I have a child”? We break down how phrases shape conclusions and connections.Single-parent sympathy games: Should being a single parent ever be used to gain sympathy or manipulate someone emotionally?What we’re owed—and aren’t—in dating: As single parents, are we entitled to anything from partners or society?Using Huda’s emotional moments—from the “Mommy? Mamacita?” scene to her Casa Amor ups and downs—as a springboard, we share my own reflections and offer actionable advice for single moms and dads navigating dating, co-parenting, and identity in the public eye.Let's get into it!_______________________________________________Anthony Crosby: Talent Acquisition & Development: https://blinq.me/5MJyftHJXqWM?bs=dbNew episodes drop every Wednesday!
