Rhiannon Graham, Miss Capital City Illinois, and her mother Cindy discussed their experiences as a single parent family. Cindy, a government employee and bartender, shared her struggles with finances, time management, and providing for Rhiannon. Rhiannon highlighted her mother's dedication, which inspired her to pursue a graduate degree in social work and advocate for single parents. They emphasized the importance of community support and creative solutions for financial and time management challenges. Cindy's sacrifices and Rhiannon's achievements underscored the resilience and love within their family, reinforcing the theme of the podcast, "Because They Matter."

We have a meaningful discussion with Rhiannon's mom, Cindy. Tune in as she shares her 20 year journey raising her amazing daughter. Truly, they have succeeded together as a team of two where the main goal was to raise an amazing daughter and give her the best life possible with no regrets.

Cindy shares about multiple factors from finances, where she had to cut corners, work multiple jobs, and ensure her daughter would be well rounded. She digs into time management, playing multiple roles, and putting parenting first rather than personal achievements and/or career interests.

She is now proud of her daughter's love for children, her heart of gold and how she always loves to help others. She also loves Rhiannon's willingness to try new things and her go getter spirit.
