Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Radio & TV Magazine and Parks & Travel Magazine, for a special Big Blend Radio Mother’s Day show featuring Dr. Marika Lindholm.

Marika is a trained sociologist and founder of ESME.com (Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere), and co-editor of the upcoming new book, “We Got This: Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor.” The book features seventy-five solo mom writers who tell the truth about their lives—their hopes and fears, their resilience and setbacks, their embarrassments and triumphs. Some of these writers’ names will sound familiar, like Amy Poehler, Anne Lamott, and Elizabeth Alexander, while others are about to become unforgettable. Bound together by their strength, pride, and most of all, their dedication to their children, they broadcast a universal and empowering message: You are not alone, solo moms—and your tenacity, courage, and fierce love are worthy of celebration.

Featured music is “Lulu’s Lullaby” from the album “Holy Water” by Allison August. Thanks to JKS Communications for sponsoring this show!
