Solo Mom Tales

Back-to-school means fresh notebooks, new schedules… and a mom still battling her podcast sound setup. But the real test? Trying to get straight answers from teenagers. Spoiler: it’s like pulling teeth. This is what I’m up against. Tune in for our first day of school recap, some podcasting growing pains, and a whole lot of teen logic that makes zero sense.

Ever wondered how much it really costs to live in Los Angeles? In this episode, the kids take their best guesses about our monthly expenses. We break down the reality of LA’s cost of living (averages), share some of our monthly money saving tips, and do the math on how many hours at minimum wage it would take to afford our current lifestyle.
It’s part financial reality check, part family banter.
Whether you’re an LA local, thinking about moving here, or just curious about how some families make it work, you’ll get some laughs and maybe a few budget tips along the way.

In this short and spontaneous first episode, we’re finding our groove, testing out the setup, figuring out how to record, and sharing a little about who we are. It’s raw, unscripted, and totally us. Welcome to the start of Solo Mom Tales!
