Breaking the Dependency Cycles for Single Moms w/ Jillian Putman

In this episode: We dive into an inspiring conversation about breaking cycles of dependency and building lasting independence for single mothers. From family-first employment models to sustainable nonprofit funding, this episode explores how compassionate, proactive support can create real, long-term change. You’ll hear practical examples of how systems can be redesigned to empower women, foster confidence, and provide a path toward true self-sufficiency.

 

Meet my guest: Jillian Putman is the Founder & CEO of three mission-driven ventures transforming the way single mothers build independence. Through Sassie Scrubbers, she provides flexible, family-first employment; with Moving Onward, Moms, she offers holistic support that addresses root causes instead of quick fixes; and her coffee company, Mystic Mug, funds the nonprofit, creating a sustainable model for impact. Jillian’s approach, which she calls “aggressive help,” combines bold vision, compassion, and strategy to empower women to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
