Rediscovering Yourself with Jen McGuire

Rediscovering Yourself with Jen McGuire

Author: Heather Wells | The Single Mom Blog August 9, 2021 Duration: 50:02
We all know that too often we as moms lose ourselves in our kids and being "mom". Sometimes so much so that once the kids have grown up and moved away we don't know what to do with ourselves. We don't even really know who we are. This weeks podcast is an interview with Jen McGuire, a single mom of 4 adult sons who decided to take a trip to Europe to finally figure out who she was outside of mom.
