## Resource

In this raw and reflective episode, I sit down with Montana Lower to unpack the emotional journey of rebuilding life after a family unit break up—especially when you’re parenting on your own. We talk about growing up without strong relationship models, the beliefs we carry into motherhood, and what it really takes to come out of the haze after heartbreak. She shares her experience of living in community with other women, navigating identity loss, doing the emotional work, and slowly learning to feel whole again. It’s an honest, vulnerable conversation about grief, growth, and finding a way forward—bit by bit. This episode is Part 1 of Montana's journey so make sure you subscribe for next weeks Part 2 episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
