“Sisterhood”: an association, society, or community of women linked by a common interest, religion, or trade.

Our special guest, Shireen Fakira, is a single mother to two beautiful girls.  For the past 15 years, she has been navigating the world of single-parenthood, learning about her own strengths and becoming empowered to make life choices to benefit her and her daughters.

When Shireen became a single mother she felt alone.  Having married earlier than her friends, she found herself in a different stage of life than her friends..  No one in her circle could share in the experience of divorce and raising a child alone.  As an esthetician, Shireen was privileged to work with women from all walks of life.  She learned that for every woman who “has it together” there is an incredible story of resilience and strength.  In these women, Shireen found her “Sisterhood”.

Recently Shireen has another significant decision to become a mortgage specialist.  This change has allowed her to work from home and be more present for her daughters.  She is currently working on balancing the needs of her family, her work and her own needs.

In this episode we discuss the idea of ‘Sisterhood”.
