Book Description:
They put the tiny, red-faced bundle into her arms, and time stopped. She
gazed at that puckered little face and whispered, Welcome to the world, baby girl. Little did she know that within weeks, she would become
a single mother—not exactly what she had imagined for her daughters and
herself, but exactly what needed to happen. This is the story of a single
mother, but it’s more than that. Sometimes funny, sometimes reflective, it’s
also your story—a story of that peculiar, trying, and wonderful state of
motherhood.
In Superwoman: A Funny and Reflective Look at Single Motherhood, popular humor blogger Mona Andrei brings you her sage
and snickery insights on being a single mom, with all its gore and glory.
Through a series of interviews, you’ll also get a voyeuristic peek into the
lives of other single mothers—and don’t we all love that feeling of Thank goodness, I’m not the only one! We’re all superwomen here.

From where you are to where you want to be with the 3 Cs
This is the title of chapter 6 in SUPERWOMAN. It
tells the story of my early days as a single mother and how insecure I was –
not only as a mother to two young girls but as a human in general. I felt that
I didn’t deserve or wasn’t good enough on so many levels. As you can imagine, suddenly realizing that the father of
your kids is not as committed to the family you created together is a scary
place to be.
“Life is only going to get worse from here,” these words
spoken by a friend when I told him that I was leaving my ex, still ring in my
ears. The truth is that he was wrong. Yes, life as a single mom when you have
zero support from your children’s father is challenging. It’s also a great
lesson in finding your own inner strength.
For me this came down to what I call the 3 Cs.
I felt scared, I needed courage.
I was doubtful, I needed confidence.
I was dissatisfied with my life, I needed to make a commitment
– a commitment to myself that I would honor what was important to me, including
my own goals, dreams, and aspirations.
There’s no denying that life has its challenges,
regardless of our circumstances. I think what’s important though is that we make
it a point not to define ourselves by our bad decisions and life situations.
There’s always room to make new choices and create a better path for ourselves,
which is exactly what I did for my kids and I.
The 3 Cs – courage, confidence, and commitment – were my
tools for creating a better life for myself and my kids.
Meet the Author:
Mona Andrei’s adulting journey took an unexpected turn when she realized
that the father of her children was not committed to the family they had
started together. At the time, she was twenty-four years old. With a baby
in her arms and a toddler in tow, she soon realized that everything had
fallen on her shoulders, including any chance for a secure future for her
and her girls. With humor and candor as her strongest tools for survival,
she went from struggling single mother to accomplished wordsmith to member
of an award-winning advertising team to top 100 humor blogger. Today, she
continues her journey, writing and speaking about her experiences as a
single mother with a focus on changing the way that single mothers are
respected and appreciated in the workplace: a win–win for both.
