TUNE IN APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
Today I talk with Marlys Monet, a single mom of 3 (and sometimes 4). Marlys found out she was pregnant with her first child at age fifteen. After trying to deny what was happening and life as she knew it unraveling, her story is one that ends in so much hope and love. When I first read Marlys’ story, I was so inspired by its uniqueness, and I knew I just had to talk with her.
We talk about her open adoption story from start to finish, how she overcame fear and shame in the process, and her unconventional but incredibly joyful motherhood journey.
An important takeaway from this interview for me, is how under served our teen moms are. Speaking from her own experience and how she supports teen moms today, Marlys answers the question of how we can best love and serve our teens who find themselves in a circumstance similar to the one she faced as a young girl.
I hope this interview makes you smile, and that you can just feel the light that Marlys brings to those she comes across.
