Show Notes

"I have $12.42 left. My daughter needs her inhaler, but the power just got shut off."

This is the "2 AM Math"—the invisible war of the checkbook that millions of single mothers fight in the dark. In this episode of THE TRIALS OF WOMAN, we go inside the raw, unvarnished reality of the single motherhood poverty gap. While a "healing retreat" makes for a great social media post for some, for others, "healing" is simply making sure the refrigerator hums for one more night.
