0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 72, Less Drama, More Mama, an interview with Pam Howard.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I've got something fun for you, a little treat.
0:39.5	I convinced my friend Pam Howard, who is also a licensed clinical social worker and a school counselor
0:48.8	and a life coach and host of what I think is probably my favorite named podcast of all times. Less drama,
0:57.7	more mama. I convinced Pam to come and talk with us a little bit about some of the
1:03.3	struggles of solo parenting. And Pam is not a widow, but she has been a solo parent. And she does relate to the struggle on not only
1:14.5	a personal level, but also for certain a professional one. Some of the things I think you're

2:11.9	Yeah, I really think that my listeners need your expertise. So as you know, I've got a wide range of widowed moms that
2:21.0	listen to the podcast. Some have little kids. Some have older kids. But I kind of see you as, well,
2:28.0	I mean, as your podcast, which is called less drama, more mama. You're like the smartest person
2:34.0	I know when it comes to how to parent
2:36.6	calmly, right? How to create connection with your kids and how to get yourself out of drama as a
2:41.9	parent. And I don't think drama as a parent is unique to the widowed mom experience, but I think
