Are you ready to get back to normal?
(What's normal, anyway??)
Because ready or not, the future is coming.
Welcome to Single Jewish Moms Connect Forward/2021!
Here's what you'll get over 3 days:
- The secrets to being more energized and happier, and living with what's unexpected.
- The gift of finding good guidance. And learning to live with gratitude - no matter what's going on in your life.
- Tips for creating a financial plan to carry you through tough times. And for creating that killer, healthy meal (when it's not cereal for dinner).
- The deep wisdom you need for the ups and downs of your most important relationships.
You'll get all that and the support and friendship of other women who can actually finish your sentences because they know in 3-D where you're coming from.
If plane tickets, custody arrangements, time-off or anything else has ever gotten in the way of you attending an in-person retreat, here's your opportunity. You honestly cannot afford to miss this.
Who Comes?
Single Jewish Moms Connect is for women of all ages - whether you’ve got an infant at home or a teenager, or you’re a single-mom grandma.
It’s for women divorced, widowed, single mom by choice or however you became a single mom.
There's zero judgment. Just 100% love and support all the way. You're going to love that.
Get advice from experts.
Are you stuck in a relationship and not sure if you should stay in or check out?
Do you need one-on-one help to stay calm through a crisis?
Do you need a path forward with an obstinate or withdrawn child?
There are plenty of opportunities to ask your questions during classes and workshops, but if you have a question or concern that's not being addressed, send an email to ronni@singlejewishmoms.org.
