Kristin Bradshaw
Kristin is a single mom living just outside of Boston, raising a spirited 6-year-old daughter and a one-eyed rescue dog named Coconut. There's only feminine energy in this house!
As an only child, and a Capricorn, I love bringing real talk and laughter to every episode. I’ve always been passionate about storytelling and connecting with people and I am so excited to build this community! Follow along as I share the ups and downs of single parenting, dating, divorce, mental health, interpersonal relationships, and of course what my favorite buys of the month are!

Nicole Blackburn
Single mom to three boys and three dogs, I've spent my adult life on a wild ride from classroom crusader to tech trailblazer, proving that the best stories take the least predictable turns. These days, I’m channeling my energy into the things that matter most: equity, women’s rights, mental health advocacy, and kicking the patriarchy where it hurts. You’ll find me behind the mic, diving into real, raw conversations with my best friend—the one who knows *way* too many of my embarrassing stories.
When I’m not championing social justice or sparking debates about education, you can find me in my natural habitat: surrounded by books, kids, and dogs, proudly rocking what my family calls my “comfort collection” (stretchy pants *are* professional, and I’m ready to defend it). I believe in the power of real conversation, accessible education for all, and the absolute necessity of prioritizing mental health. Oh, and in case it wasn’t obvious? I really, really can’t stand small talk.
