Mindy Kaling’s advice about single motherhood is golden
This past weekend, new mom Mindy Kaling recently gave the funniest, most thoughtful and inspiring speech at a Dartmouth graduation ceremony. While she had a lot of general wisdom about life to pass on to the class of 2018 (i.e. “You never need more than one pancake.” So true!), it was her closing anecdote about parenthood and worrying she wouldn’t be able to handle being a single mother that really knocked it out of the park.

“‘Huh, according to movies and TV, this is traditionally the time when my mother and spouse are supposed to be here, sharing this experience with me,'” she recalled thinking to herself. “And I looked around, and I had neither. And for a moment, it was kind of scary. Like, ‘Can I do this by myself"'”
