Suzanne is a working single mom living in my neighborhood, have two babies, and rented a big house. I see her driving her own car.
Suzanne’s story starts here.
She was very willing to share her experience with all the Mommy out there in the world.
The first part of the story is emotional, which is obvious when one breaks up with someone about the problems they have to go through. Single moms have to face double that. The daily mommy responsibilities and the earning money part.
But how did Suzanne tackle all this to be more successful than most of the men there?
The subject starts here.
The first thing Suzanne thought was of a job, but she knew she needed a job with flexible timings to keep a healthy balance between work and personal responsibilities. Suzanne says, ‘no matter what the job is, you need enough personal time and schedule flexibility to be successful at work and as a mom.
