Summary
I’m joined by Jessica Kameko, aka @TravelWithMeko, a full-time travel creator, student, marathon runner, medical esthetician, author, and mom of two. We talk about what her life actually looks like, why she chose to go back to school, what led her to becoming a single mom, and how she’s managed to build a life rooted in travel and flexibility. Then we get into dating as a single mom: how motherhood has changed how she dates, her non-negotiables, how quickly she has to vet people, what people get wrong about dating a single mom, navigating dating apps, co-parenting, and the advice she’d give anyone going through separation, divorce, or choosing motherhood on their own.
