Summary
Anonymous from the episode "It's Not Always Your Fault, Even If They Say It Is" is back on the podcast to talk about her experiences dating for the first time as a 30-year-old divorced single mom of three kids. We hear what she thought dating would be like vs. how it turned out, lessons the hard way, and what she wish she knew when getting out there for the first time. She opens up about the highs and lows of dating as a single parent, misconceptions about single moms, and what boundaries she sets surrounding her kids when it comes to her dating life.
