#122 - How To Handle Being A Single Mom And An Accountant

The CPA MOMS Podcast

You already know that being an accountant is tough, and being an accountant and a mom is tougher, but being an accountant and single mom should seriously come with its own awards ceremony! As a single working mom, you probably feel like you’re running a marathon every single day, while only being trained to walk a 5k at best.

If you’re like most single working moms, you’ve probably experienced loneliness, fear about supporting your family, and not being sure whether you can do all this on your own. With the current pandemic, these issues and more are even more stressful and overwhelming.

With less people you’re able to be around, more restrictions to adhere to, and the added complications of either co-parenting or having no other parent around, more and more single working moms are finding it challenging to balance it all. What was already difficult before the pandemic, has now become even more demanding and exhausting.

This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I discuss the importance of getting support, being honest about what you need, tweaking your priorities and dropping the guilt.
