Meet Jodi
The Woman behind the Lemonade.
Jodi Seidler is the founder of Making Lemonade — the Single Parent Network. A single parent herself, she built this community because she lived the plot twist and knew others needed more than survival tips. They needed a real reset.
Her story
The Story behind Making Lemonade
Making Lemonade was born from Jodi's own experience navigating single parenthood — the disorientation, the reinvention, and eventually, the clarity that comes when you stop just coping and start choosing.
Jodi spent years working in media, entertainment, and personal development before channeling that experience into a platform built specifically for single parents. She understood that the resources available were either too clinical, too generic, or too focused on the crisis — not the comeback.
So she built something different. A network grounded in real talk, practical tools, and the kind of community that meets you where you are — not where someone thinks you should be.
"Single parenting is not a problem to be solved. It's a life to be lived — fully, intentionally, and on your own terms."
— Jodi Seidler
The mission
What Drives the Work
Jodi's mission is to help single parents move from survival mode into a life they've actively chosen. Through free guides, community, coaching, and content, Making Lemonade gives single parents the tools to reset at every stage — whether they're newly single, years in, or somewhere in between.
Beyond this community
More than Making Lemonade

A personal note
A Letter to the Single Parent who feels scared
Starting over doesn't mean you failed — it means you're brave. It means you chose truth over comfort, healing over pretending, and possibility over fear.
Starting over is not the end of your story. It's the beginning of your strength.
You may feel unsure right now. You may feel scared, tired, or overwhelmed. But you are also resilient, wise, and capable of building a life that feels peaceful and aligned.
This chapter isn't about loss — it's about rediscovery. Your future is still bright. Your heart is still strong. Your story is still unfolding beautifully.
— Jodi Seidler
