Empowering Single Moms Through Travel & Community With Krystin Hargrove
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and business bestie, Krystin Hargrove, the founder of CoTripper, the number one platform dedicated to supporting single moms. Krystin shares her journey from launching Cotripper as a travel company to transforming it into a thriving community that empowers single mothers through connection, support, and experiences. They discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of building authentic communities, and how CoTripper is creating safe spaces for single moms to thrive.
“We are taking ownership of our stories, our experience and saying we don’t need a partner to have a kid, be successful or fit the mold of what a parent or household should be.”
