Description

Can we ever truly heal from the scars of our past, or is it more about the miles we put between ourselves and the memories that once pained us? Get ready to unwrap this question as I, Ariel, take you through my own personal expedition of healing, single motherhood, and the brave steps toward new beginnings in love. 

 

Join me for an episode where we celebrate my son Andre's sweet 16 and grapple with the joys and challenges of raising five unique spirits, each with their own story and co-parenting dynamic. Amidst the festivities and reflections, we also ponder the impact of companionship and community in our lives, especially when faced with the longing for a partner's support on this wild ride called family.
