About Stop Telling Me To Relax: For Single Moms Who Don't Have Time To Chill
While managing every responsibility alone, single mothers are often told, “Why don’t you just relax?”
Between parenting, working full time, managing a household, paying the bills, staying healthy, maintaining a social or dating life, and trying to get some sleep. There is little time to do so.
Stop.Telling Me to Relax is a podcast where single mothers share their real, unfiltered stories—the worry, heartbreak, financial strain, life-changing decisions, and the joy and growth that come with them. STOP. Telling Me to Relax creates a space to confront the stigma and isolation of single motherhood. While celebrating the resilience, confidence, and wisdom only single motherhood can foster.

Stop Telling Me to Relax, Veronica sits down with Central Florida entrepreneur and single mom Vanessa to talk about the beautiful chaos of raising four children while building a brand in the remote retail and sponsorship space.
Vanessa opens up about spotting early red flags in past relationships, her life as a young wife/mother in early 20s, disappointing family members with her life choices and how she's preparing for the eventual next chapter as an empty nester.
Episode 22 is an honest conversation about resilience, business, and choosing yourself amidst the pressure of modern life.

What Is Going On In Massachusetts? - Maternal Malice Pt. 2
After watching the trial, my entire view on the Lindsay Clancy case completely shifted. What initially looked like a case with some holes that question her post partum psycosis defense. Now feels like a devastating failure of postpartum care, mental health treatment, and the justice system.
I no longer believe this is a case of premeditated first-degree murder. The courtroom footage, medical testimony, and autopsy evidence point me somewhere else entirely. In episode 21, I continue the conversation on maternal malice- moms who murder.
Highlighting the exact details that changed my mind in the case of Lindsay Clancy: the prosecution's use of autopsy images, Lindsay's visible anguish in court, the role of postpartum psychosis, her medical care, and the online conspiracy theories surrounding Patrick Clancy.
