Four unplanned pregnancies, a history of alcohol abuse, struggles with domestic violence, an uneasy relationship with welfare, and Sacramento State’s most valuable debater award. And I thought being a well-supported stay at home mom of one baby was tiring.

This is a great podcast that I think will offer encouragement to other mothers who are in the same situation as Bethany. Thank you Bethany for sharing your life with us. You are indeed a wonderful mother!

Thank you, I have felt so loved and blessed today as people respond to the interview. It all means so much to me.
Hello I am single mother of five myself. It can be very hard, but now I in college for accounting and work as a licensed broker. At times I feel like I am missing out on something, but they keep me focused and responsible. I could not image life with out them. Thanks for being so honest.
