## Resource

What is it really like growing up as an only child? In this honest and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Martha Michelle to unpack the realities of being an only child, the beautiful, the challenging, and everything in between. From loneliness and emotional independence to deep friendships and identity, we explore how being an only child shapes your personality, relationships, and life decisions. If you’ve ever wondered: 1. Is being an only child a disadvantage? 2. Do only children get lonely? 3. How does it affect adulthood and relationships? 4. How can parents raise a confident, emotionally secure only child? Then this conversation is for you. Martha also shares the inspiration behind her book “The Shape of One” and what she hopes both parents and only children take away from it. Whether you’re an only child, raising one, or simply curious, this is a conversation that will shift your perspective.
