In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Lauren Cohen.  Lauren shares her own personal story of becoming a single mum and tells Julia about starting her business. She also provides advice for single working mums, how to find the silver lining when at rock bottom, her advice for new single mums, and LOTS MORE! Lauren is a South Florida Immigration Law Expert and attorney licensed in both the U.S. and Canada. Lauren faced some challenges her first few years of living and working in America and in pursuing her own immigration journey. She was limited in her ability to work in her chosen field due to licensure issues and struggled to make ends meet, but eventually all of her hard work paid off and she built a new career for herself. After spending several years working as corporate counsel in various industries while dabbling in the field of immigration law, at age 40 Lauren decided to combine her legal knowledge and business acumen and over the next few years built her own now thriving business -  e-Council Inc., which is a company offering concierge turnkey business immigration services ranging from professional Business Plans to comprehensive project coordination for all types of US business immigration visas. And at 43 years old she had a baby on her own - although it was not a conscious choice to have her precious son alone. She's also in the process of setting up Find My Silver Lining – a non-profit established to inspire single working parents, especially mompreneurs, to work through tough times to find their Silver Lining and to live fulfilling lives.
