A single parent by choice, Toby Simon has raised a highly engaged and successful daughter. Her daughter Hattie held a fundraiser for victims of child slavery
at the age of 12, became a working jazz vocalist & musician at the age of 14, and at the age of 16 received both a national anti-tobacco advocacy award and
a national arts award for jazz performance. With a modest single parent income, Toby has tackled the same challenges that so many parents face ...how do
we help our kids gain all the opportunities they deserve to be engaged and successful in life, without the income to back it up? Toby teaches that it's not about
pushing our kids, but rather uncovering and coaching our kids' passions. She shows how to navigate resources to help them excel in school and life, access
unknown scholarships and financial aid, and finally, how to publicize their successes like a marketing pro!
