About this listen
When Emma Johnson's marriage ended, she found herself broke, pregnant, and alone with a toddler. Searching for the advice she needed to navigate her new life as a single professional woman and parent, she discovered there was very little sage wisdom available. In response, Johnson launched the popular blog Wealthysinglemommy.com to speak to other women who, like herself, wanted to not just survive but thrive as single moms. Now, in this complete guide to single motherhood, Johnson guides women in confronting the naysayers in their lives (and in their own minds) to build a thriving career, achieve financial security, and reignite their romantic life - all while being a kickass parent to their kids. The Kickass Single Mom shows listeners how to:
- Build a new life that is entirely on their own terms.
- Find the time to devote to health, hobbies, friendships, faith, community, and travel.
- Be a joyful, present, and fun mom and proud role model to your kids.
Full of practical advice and inspiration from Emma's life as well as other successful single moms, this is a must-have resource for any single mom.

When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel Hollis writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

Yes & no
I love her encouragement, her ability to not make anyone feel guilty for their choices, her very good advice... but I feel like the ability to make a lot of money isn’t as easy as she makes it seem. I’m down for every part of this book except for the money part. Some of us can’t pick up & move to a metropolitan area & take our children away from their fathers. I live in a small midwestern town. I am a teacher. I love teaching! I don’t want to move or to choose a different career. However, I hate being on such a tight budget. But, as I said, the other advice; spot on.

Very empowering!
There was nothing about this book I didn’t like. It was a HUGE boost for my self confidence and actually has encouraged me to work harder and smarter. The author made me feel like the things I’ve been thru are ok and normal and that I have the power to change bad situations for the better. It’s not ok to sit on your ass, blame your ex and not take responsibility for your own self and your own future. I was very sad when the book ended....so much I’m considering listening to it over again. THANK YOU EMMA FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!!!!! You are an inspiration to me and many other single moms!!! Cheers!

Single Mommy Must Read
I am a first time mom and I’m not with my former partner and it’s taking a lot to have a place of peace and forgiveness and this book definitely helped me gain a perspective and understanding that you cannot control another person the only person you can control is yourself so you might as well make your life better instead of being dependent on another person I’ve always been independent but having the challenges of now taking care of two people has been a little overwhelming and this book definitely helped can you come up with strategies on how to be a kick ass single mom and be able to provide the best life for my daughter thank you

Truly Kick Ass!!
I have one phrase to describe Emma's book... GAME CHANGER! From the introduction, I was intrigued with everything Emma had to say solely because the title of the book has the best shock effect! As a Single Mom, I have been taught since I was a kid that single mothers are the blite of society, the women that were unlucky, unfortunate, uneducated, unloveable, unacceptable to marry.
Emma debunks and challenges each and every oppressive stereotype that has been applied to the umbrella term 'Single Mother'. Thank you for your uncanny, witty, and empowering knowledge! You have inspired me to continue on the path of learning to be a "Kick-Ass Momma" who works for herself earning a lucrative income, loves raising her children to be awesome people, love myself in and out my singleness, bless all that I encounter, and enjoy my life!

Meant for trauma/death of spouse
Great book, I commend the comment to her story and the complete follow through in telling it. 1 STAR for my situation, this book is otherwise hard to relate to; however perfect fit for someone dealing with a partner whose had major head trauma and or death.

this book almost has me in tears
I should have read this earlier when my daughter was first born to cut or totally stop depression. Its almost 10 years later and as a black woman, I can still benefit from it, years later. I wish the author much success...this book really helped in a positive way.

Really for single moms who are dealing with an ex.
The first few chapters had some really great info that I found valuable. However, I am a single mom with no man in the picture. I felt like most of the book didn't apply to me or my situation, even though she made some references to single by choice mothers. I wouldn't bother if you aren't dealing with an ex situation.
