We dive deep into the messy, unspoken corners of raising humans, serving up common sense and expert insights with a side of "wait, I’m supposed to know how to do that?"

    Episode 2 - Solo Parenting in 2026: Navigating Mom Guilt, Emotional Intelligence & Calm in the Chaos
    Feb 16 2026
    In this heartfelt episode of The Only Adult in the Room, we sit down with Morgan, a full-time single mom, employee, and student who is raising a four-year-old in 2026 while learning to embrace the chaos of modern parenting.


    Morgan shares what solo parenting really looks like behind the scenes, from managing mom guilt as a “one-and-done” parent to building a strong village of support that includes family, friends, and educators. We dive into teaching emotional intelligence to young children, helping kids regulate big emotions, and why gratitude grounding can be a powerful tool for overwhelmed parents.


    This episode explores:
    - The realities of single motherhood in today’s world
    - Raising emotionally intelligent kids
    - How to stay calm when your child isn’t
    - Building a support system as a solo parent
    - Letting go of parenting guilt
    - Finding peace in the middle of chaos


    If you’re a parent navigating big feelings (yours or your child’s), wondering if you’re doing enough, or simply trying to survive and thrive in modern motherhood, this conversation is for you.


    Because sometimes the most powerful thing a parent can hear is: You’re doing a good job.
