Ever been called a “bitter baby mama” just because you’re protecting your child from a father who’s inconsistent or absent? People love to label single moms as “bitter” for setting boundaries, for being the one who stays and does it all, while the other parent walks away. But is it bitterness, or is it strength?

In this episode, we get real about the challenges of single motherhood when society acts like you deserve to struggle because he didn’t want the responsibility. For moms who feel the weight of two parents, who have to make the impossible decision of telling their child the truth about their father’s absence, this conversation is for you. We’re breaking down the myths, the judgments, and the harsh labels society throws at women who refuse to let their children get hurt by someone’s inconsistency.

This is more than just a story of struggle; it’s about resilience, growth, and the hope that comes from standing strong for your kids. Join us as we explore what it really means to be a “protective mother,” the strength it takes to balance independence with love, and the journey of moving forward without shame. Because being a single mom isn’t about bitterness—it’s about doing whatever it takes to give your child the stability they deserve.
