After discovering a community of 470,000 single parents, one expert realized something surprising: no one was teaching the practical side of doing it alone.

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by Pat Hankin, business professional, parenting expert, and author of The Field Guide for Single Parents — a practical, no-fluff resource designed to help solo parents navigate the real-world challenges of money, time, and support systems.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why time and money are deeply connected — and how understanding the value of your time can transform your financial decisions.
How to build a “composite partner” by creating systems and support networks that replace what a second adult might typically provide.
The financial realities of separation, including why expenses don’t simply get cut in half — and how to adjust your mindset accordingly.
Practical tools and strategies to reduce overwhelm, track your responsibilities, and regain a sense of control and agency.
And more!

Tune in for a candid, empowering conversation on navigating single parenthood with confidence, letting go of perfection, and recognizing the strength and skills you already have.
