About Jodi Seidler: Single Parent Support, Co-Parenting Guidance & Parenting Resources

A Reset for Every Stage of Single Parenting

Our Mission: Supporting Single Parents Through Life’s Resets 🍋

At Making Lemonade: The Single Parent Reset Network, our mission is to guide and support single parents through major life transitions that require more than simple adjustment. Divorce, separation, co-parenting challenges, empty nesting, identity shifts, and rebuilding life after loss often call for a full emotional, personal, and practical reset. We believe no single parent should have to navigate these transitions alone.

We provide grounded guidance, practical tools, and meaningful connection for single moms, single dads, and modern families rebuilding their lives. Through education, shared experience, and a supportive community, Making Lemonade helps single parents restore stability, rebuild confidence, and gain clarity and direction during uncertain seasons of life after divorce or major change.

At the heart of our network is a deep belief in resilience, reinvention, and the power of community. Life after divorce or major transition can feel overwhelming and isolating, but with the right support system, these moments can become powerful turning points. Challenges can lead to healing, personal growth, renewed strength, and a more grounded, intentional future.

Making Lemonade exists to help single parents transform disruption into direction, setbacks into strength, and life changes into opportunities for lasting empowerment and stability.

Beyond the Empty Nest: Your Next Chapter Awaits 🍋

Single parenting. Making lemonade with Jodi Seidler. Single Parent Network

There comes a moment every parent knows is coming, but nothing truly prepares you for it. The goodbye in the driveway. The wave you hold a second longer than necessary. The door closing behind the child you spent years raising, protecting, worrying about, and loving with your whole heart.

Empty nesting is not just about your child leaving

Empty nesting is not just about your child leaving home. For single parents, the empty nest transition carries a unique weight. You weren’t just raising a child—you were building a life around being the one. The planner, the protector, the constant.

When your child steps into their independence, the silence can feel unfamiliar, emotional, and disorienting all at once. You may feel proud and heartbroken in the same breath.
Free—and strangely unmoored.
Relieved—and deeply reflective.

This chapter is not about loss.
It’s about recalibration.

Empty nesting is an invitation to rediscover who you are beyond daily caregiving. To reconnect with parts of yourself that were set aside while you showed up for someone else. To redefine purpose, routines, identity, and dreams—on your own terms.

At Making Lemonade: The Single Parent Reset Network, we support empty nesters through this powerful life transition. We hold space for the grief, the pride, the questions, and the quiet moments in between. We help single parents move from “Who am I now?” to “What’s next for me?” Whether you’re waving goodbye for the first time or navigating life after the kids are fully launched, you don’t have to walk this season alone. The nest may be empty—but your life is not.
This is where your next chapter begins. 🍋

A Letter to the Single Parent Who Feels Scared 🍋

Starting over doesn't mean you failed — it means you're brave. It means you chose truth over comfort, healing over pretending, and possibility over fear. Starting over is not the end of your story. It’s the beginning of your strength.

You may feel unsure right now. You may feel scared, tired, or overwhelmed. But you are also resilient, wise, and capable of building a life that feels peaceful and aligned.

This chapter isn’t about loss — it's about rediscovery. Your future is still bright. Your heart is still strong. Your story is still unfolding beautifully.

👉 The Single Parent Reset Guide is here to support every step of your reset, rebuild, and rise.

Life After Divorce: Rebuilding Strength as a Single Parent �

When life falls apart, the world tells you to “be strong.” But single parenthood asks for something deeper than strength. It asks for presence, consistency, and the courage to rebuild when life didn’t go according to plan.

This is for the single mom learning how to carry responsibility, emotion, and love all at once. It’s for the mother holding a household together while navigating exhaustion, uncertainty, and the quiet work of rebuilding stability for her children.

This is also for the single dad finding his footing after divorce. Building a home rooted in reliability and care. Learning how to balance long days, hard decisions, and the steady responsibility of showing up when everything feels new and uncharted.

Rebuilding a life after divorce was never part of the plan. Neither was learning resilience through exhaustion or discovering strength in the middle of starting over. Yet each day, you wake up and do the work anyway. You pack lunches, manage emotions, answer difficult questions, and keep moving forward even when the future still feels unfinished.

Single parenthood reshapes you. It teaches patience without recognition, love without conditions, and hope without guarantees. Some days are about survival. Others bring growth and clarity. Both matter. Both count as progress.

You are not broken because life changed. You are rebuilding. Brick by brick. Routine by routine. Moment by moment. Your children are not watching for perfection. They are learning from your presence, your consistency, and your willingness to keep going.

They are learning what resilience looks like by watching you stand back up. Being a single mom or single dad is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of a stronger one. A life rebuilt with intention. A home rebuilt with care. A future rebuilt with love that knows how to stay.

💛 A Personal Note from Jodi Seidler 🍋

A Supportive Space for Life After Divorce and Major Transitions

If you’ve found your way here, life has likely asked you to reset in ways you never planned. Divorce, separation, co-parenting, single parenthood, identity shifts, empty nesting, or simply holding everything together while trying to find your footing again can feel overwhelming and isolating. I see you. I created Making Lemonade because these chapters are often navigated in silence, especially when you’re expected to stay strong for everyone else.

This space exists to remind you that you don’t have to navigate life after divorce or major transitions alone. Here, we talk honestly about the emotional, practical, and personal resets that come with rebuilding life as a single parent. The focus is on grounding, resilience, clarity, and connection, not perfection. My work is rooted in lived experience, compassion, and a deep belief that healing happens best when people feel supported, understood, and empowered.

Making Lemonade is more than a resource hub. It’s a community created for single moms, single dads, parents by choice, and anyone redefining family, identity, and purpose after major life change. This is a place to breathe, reflect, learn, and reconnect with yourself while moving forward with confidence, one steady step at a time.

“I just wanted to say well done for compiling making lemonade. I am in the UK and feel quite out of touch with the positive kinds of messages that pour out of making lemonade. I really congratulate you on actively speaking out positively about the strengths and courage of single parents. I am a single parent and doing research to try and highlight the demands on and commitment of lone parents to make the best of life.”
