Hey guys, what's up? It's Raiden Funfacts. I am now recording my podcast in my closet

0:17.9

because recording it in my office, like I had originally planned, just did not really

0:22.9

work out. So we're gonna see if recording it in my closet helps at all. I don't know,

0:29.9

but on another note, today I want to talk about being a baby mama. Yes, I am a baby mama. Well,

0:37.2

at least that's how some people refer to it. I prefer to call myself a single mom. There are

0:43.4

cases where the phrase baby mama is okay to me, depending on who's saying it and what the

0:49.6

intention is behind it. For the most part, I prefer to be called a single mom, but this episode

0:55.5

is going to be all about baby mama drama, essentially. So if you're new here, if you don't know my

1:02.0

life story, if you don't know about my situation, I am a single mom, like I just said, but I've never

1:08.8

really dived too deep into, I guess, why or how I became a single mom. If that's how you want to

1:17.9

1:28.3

as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was also no longer in a committed relationship with the

1:34.4

father of my child. So I have been a single mom the entire time. It's not something that like

1:40.9

happened to me halfway through or anything like that. But I just, like I said, I've never really

1:46.4

talked in detail about that whole story. I mean, I've told the story, but I told the story in a way

1:54.1

where I left out a lot of the details. But let me just, let me just preface this episode by saying,

2:03.7

I do plan on talking a lot more about my experience going forward. And I will be sharing more

2:11.4

details. It's really scary for me to share details. I'm going to be as careful as I can as far as

2:17.6

having a balance between being really open and honest and sharing my truth, but also being careful

2:23.3

about what I say and what I put out there, because you know, it involves other people. It involves

2:27.9

my daughter. I'm putting my daughter's business out there at the same time. So I have to be really

2:32.6

careful with that. But I am trying y'all. I'm trying to be as open and as detailed as I can. I just
