Who Am I?
If you read the words back and don’t hear your voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Welcome to Solo Shift, a podcast born from my journey of transformation and growth. My name is Wedeh Guar, a free-spirited woman who refuses to be bound by anything but embraces all the good that life has to offer. I was born in West Africa, Liberia, and migrated to the United States at a young age. Life took an unexpected turn when I dropped out of high school at 17 due to pregnancy, overwhelmed by shame, societal judgment, and cultural expectations. But that wasn’t the end of my story—it was just the beginning.
Determined to rewrite my future, I silently earned my GED at 18 while navigating the unspoken challenges of being a young single mother. I faced homelessness, endured failed relationships, struggled with low self-esteem, and lacked boundaries. I became a solo parent to two sons and spent years trying to discover who I truly was. Through it all, I kept pushing forward, working 9-5 jobs as a forklift driver, machinist, and caregiver. But it wasn’t until my 30s that my solo shift truly began.
I made the decision to become single by choice, and with that newfound freedom, I pursued my first college degree. Along the way, I found myself—becoming not just a mother, but a life coach, a counselor, and an advocate for single mothers like me. After overcoming countless obstacles, I realized there was a lack of practical resources for 9-5 working single moms. That’s when I created Solo Shift—a podcast designed to be more than just a source of inspiration; it’s a lifeline.
