The number of women who have chosen to create their own family grew exponentially during the global pandemic of 2020. Ann Argo, an educator and only parent to a nine year old boy, has created a podcast to support the contemporary needs of this tribe of women as they live in their definition of family, an uncharted one for many. Each episode centers around a topic relevant to the mental, emotional, and physical topics unique to this community of women. The Define the Narrative podcast is a grounding place for women who want to learn, grow, and thrive in their definition of family.
