When your marriage is unraveling and your husband's affair seems to be the talk of your small town, it can feel as though you are walking through a hail storm without an umbrella (or a jacket), and that's exactly the trials that Brittney Matack faced. When faced with the storms of life, we can seek shelter until it passes, or we can face the downpour and learn to dance in the rain; while neither may be ideal, one of those options will remind you just how strong and capable you are of getting through some of life's greatest hardships. Brittney fought hard for her marriage, and she finally remembered she needed to fight even harder for herself. As women we often dedicate so much of ourselves to exterior aspects of our lives: partner, children, career, family, etc. We forget to pour into ourselves and it isn't until we are struggling to pour from an empty cup that we realize something has to give. Brittney faced her storms head on and prevailed; she, her sister, her dogs and her two beautiful children journeyed 1,500 miles to begin again and when they arrived, the sun was shining. Although no season is guaranteed without its storms, it's nice to remember that when the rain washes you clean you'll know (Fleetwood Mac) and your rainbow will await you, this too shall pass.

A hope-filled conversation with Steph Elle, a member of the Single Mom Tribe, shares her journey into single-motherhood; how she was guided by faith and how her hope has kept her firmly planted and trusting of God's will and guidance within her life.As a spiritualist, I am sensitive to all religions and belief systems, so this episode is in no way pushing one belief over another, it is simply highlighting that when we hold firmly to our faith (no matter what that might look like to us as individuals), that faith becomes the foundation on which we are able to overcome our hardships as raise abundant children with ease, even when we are doing it alone.To follow along with Steph's story or hear more about her testimony, you can find her on Instagram @surfcitymumTo be featured on an upcoming episode of the Single Mom Tribe, please reach out to me directly on Instagram @lovewildheart (business) or @iam.wildheart (personal) or visit our website: www.lovewildheart.com

Conscious parenting is a shift of awareness, it is not a set of rules for parents to follow, but rather a change of perception between the roles of parent and child. It is more a set of beliefs that aim to equip parents with what children need in order to develop and thrive.Conscious parenting engages and connects with the child using emotionally intelligent choices and method of discipline which embrace decency and respect towards the child as the whole being that they are, it’s not seeing them as less than simply due to their age.A child’s brain blossoms with connection and empathy and Conscious Parenting methods offer children just that, as opposed to other punitive methods of raising our precious little ones.Natalie Vires is the Playroom Fairy, she teaches conscious parenting through the power of play, and she believes that the world can be saved one fun moment at a time. It was such an honor to explore this belief system with her and I must say... Timing is everything! Natalie and I recorded this episode in early August as I was prepping it for publication it was the exact message I needed as a gentle reminder as to why I’ve taking in the initiative to parent my child the way that I do.Whether the term Conscious Parenting is new to you, or your an avid practitioner of this empowering style, this episode is an eye opener for caregivers of all types. Our children are often here to teach us just as much if not more about life as we have to teach them. Triggered moments can be an opportunity to dive within and every day stresses can easily be diffused with a small dose of silliness.So do yourself a favor and have some fun today with your little one!To follow along with Natalie's teachings, she can be found on IG @theplayroomfairy

Loving My Dots is here to promote connectivity among diversity. Launched by Nathalia Freitas in early 2019, Loving My Dots started as her attempt to reach out to people with similar stories but transformed into a journey of self-love because of her personal relationship with its cause. Nathalia was born with Congenital Melanocytic Nevus, which is a non-genetic birthmark that can form on a person’s body. CMN left a birthmark covering 40% of her face plus moles, or satellites, all over her body. Her case is an example of a giant nevus, which occurs only once in 500,000 births. From ages nine months to 13 years old, Nathalia had many surgeries to remove her facial Nevus. Hailing from south Brazil, Nathalia immigrated to Los Angeles, California in 2012 to continue her career as a marketing professional. After spending years in the Los Angeles rat race - working for one of the largest nonprofits in the country, Homeboy Industries, as a chef teacher for children in extracurricular activities in Los Angeles schools, and working in events - it dawned on her that life served another purpose. In 2018, Nathalia began sharing her heartrending inspirational story on social media, drawing the attention of people and publications worldwide. Nathalia was asked to collaborate in the first women-led global Instagram takeover of the EmpowHer NY platform, highlighting her uniqueness and touching story. While visiting Brazil, Nathalia was invited to be a speaker and tell her story at various events and was interviewed at a local TV station in Porto Alegre, Brazil. ​In February 2019, Nathalia was chosen to be featured in a short documentary by the British news agency Barcroft TV. The documentary will give viewers an inside peek at Nathalia’s life and will chronicle her role as a panelist in EmpowHer NY Talks event in New York City.Not only is Nathalia the creator of Loving My Dots, but she also gives motivational speeches on building self-esteem and is a body positive advocate.You can follow along to hear more of Nathalia's story on Twitter & Instagram: @lovingmydotsFollow her on Facebook at: http://facebook.com/lovingmydotsofficial/ - or -Visit her website: https://www.lovingmydots.com/

This week on the Single Mom Tribe, I have the pleasure of interviewing Miriam Dorsett, a community builder, published author and successful entrepreneur; while she humbly refers to herself as an artist, I see everyday her accomplishments reach far beyond the works that she’s produced.Initially, I wanted to bring Miriam on the podcast to promote her recently launched children’s book, The Lion and The Elephant, an interactive art book about the journey of life and friendship, offering the children the freedom to write their own ending to the story. Some other amazing aspects to the book include illustrations done in black and white, allowing each picture to be treated as that of a coloring book; tutorials teaching the kids how to draw each character on their own are also included.What really struck me while reconnecting with Miriam about her book, was finding out that she too had been raised by a single-mother, it was that discovery that confirmed we were meant to have this conversation. I obviously knew that Miriam was a beautiful biracial woman, what I didn’t know was that she was raising by her Caucasian mother; and here I am a white woman raising my biracial daughter, I was eager to learn more.I always wonder am I doing enough to help my daughter to embrace all of who she is, especially when we are not closely connected with the Belizean side of her family. In a society where there is still so much “hidden” hostility surrounding someone’s color and creed, I worry about the days when she might struggle with how to identify herself and where she fits in. So to be able to hear the firsthand accounts from a woman that has gracefully grown through such difficulties, was both inspiring and reassuring.I highly recommend you follow Miriam to keep up to date with all that she has going on, especially those local to Miami - To stay in the know in her upcoming projects find her on IG: @mdorsettnow | @zenzonemiami And to get your very own copy of @thelionandtheelephantbook - She is generously offering a 10% Discount with the code: TRIBE10 and Donating an additional 10% of all sales to fund future events with the @single.mom.tribePurchase Now: chibur.info/books

That passion ignited the fire within her and she dedicated herself to bettering her skill in the art of acting, which led her to a self exploration and development.

Although her life may seem like one of constant changes, but she healing different aspects of herself with each new season.Parris reminds us of that little girl that we all once were, the one with HUGE ambitions, the tiny dreamer that didn’t just shoot for the stars, but galaxies far beyond. We all know how easy it is to let our fears hold us back, Parris reminds us to allow our courage, hope and desire to set us free, pushing us forward into the life we want to lead.To follow along with her journey, you can find her on IG @parris.hodges - She will be announcing the launch of some very excited projects she's been working on, so STAY TUNED for that!!!
