Special guest Tisha Janigian is a single mother of two teenage boys and the president and founder of nonprofit She is Hope LA. The mission is to educate and empower single mothers starting over in the workplace and to provide affordable transitional housing and childcare. The She Is Hope Realty Boutique just opened at the end of October in Encino and all proceeds go back to the nonprofit. Go to Tisha and her team because it goes for a fantastic cause.

Quotes:

"When my ex and I split I had no credit, no money, and no assets to my name so it was really hard to start over"

"I realized our system is broken and there is a gap over poverty"

"I finally got a break with a job for a few hours a week, just over minimum wage, and because of that my food stamp benefits went down to almost nothing."

"We educate our moms with experts on things like financial and legal advice, job training and preparation, mind-body wellness, and peer support."
