Solo But Not Alone (ft. Mathew Bradley, The Solo Dad Podcast)
05/18/22 • 65 min
In this episode I welcome Mathew Bradley. Matt is a fellow podcaster and Girl Dad. When he lost his wife, Marci, to cancer in 2018, he was left to navigate raising his one-year-old daughter, Blair, on his own. In his search to find resources for dealing with grief and being a solo dad, Matt reached out to other dads dealing with loss, and in 2021 he launched a podcast called The Solo Dad Podcast. Matt shares his story and how he remains positive through all of life's challenges.
Thank you to Mathew Bradley for being on the show, and for sharing his journey as a Girl Dad. I am inspired by Matt's strength and his commitment to provide resources for solo parents. Check out his podcast The Solo Dad Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms.
