Life as a Single Mom in Germany with Tanya

<p style="text-align:left;">Season 6, Episode 21. Being a single mom ain't easy. Being an expat ain't easy. Being a single mom AND an expat? Yeah, it REALLY ain't easy.</p> <p style="text-align:left;">But it is possible. Tanya is here to tell us how.</p> <p style="text-align:left;">Tanya moved from California to Germany when her son was 2. She had been single parenting until that point, and initially when she moved abroad, her then-husband was able to provide support while Tanya adjusted to life in Germany. After she and he divorced, Tanya found herself facing single parenthood again, this time in a country that wasn't her own.</p> <p style="text-align:left;">She lays out the pros and cons of relying on Germany's robust social system for help with her kid. Plus, Tanya recently decided to do a test move back to the US, and she shares how being a single mom has played into that decision.</p> <p style="text-align:left;"> </p> <p>This episode is sponsored by <a href='http://betterhelp.com/expatcast/'>BetterHelp</a>.
