Becoming a single mum is one of the most daunting and overwhelming life changes someone will ever go through. Whether you are pregnant or have teenagers, you will most likely be confused and struggling with what to do next.

    513 - The single biggest mistake women make after separation

    In this episode, I'm talking about what I believe is one of the biggest mistakes women can make after separation - staying emotionally stuck in the story of what happened. While it's easy to focus on the practical challenges of separation, the emotional patterns we hold onto can have an even greater impact on our healing, confidence, and future. I explore what emotional stuckness can look like, why so many of us fall into it, and how it can quietly keep us from moving forward. Most importantly, I share practical steps you can take today to begin reclaiming your power, shifting your focus, and creating space for the next chapter of your life.

    512 - Parenting toddlers as a single mum

    In this episode, I shift the focus to parenting toddlers as a single mum, a stage that can feel incredibly demanding and overwhelming. Alongside the tantrums, big emotions, and constant needs, you're also carrying the full load of daily life, often while feeling exhausted and stretched thin. I introduce the Circle of Security approach, which centres on one powerful idea: your child needs you as both a secure base to explore the world and a safe haven to return to when things feel too much. We explore how this simple framework can help you better understand your toddler's needs, create emotional safety, and feel more grounded in your parenting even when things feel chaotic.

    511 - An introduction to emotion coaching your kids

    In this episode, I introduce the concept of emotion coaching and how it can completely shift the way you parent your teen. For many of us, we were never really taught how to handle emotions growing up... often learning to suppress, ignore, or fix them instead. So when our children express big emotions, it can feel uncomfortable and hard to know what to do, or even trigger us. I share how emotion coaching helps your teen understand, regulate, and move through their feelings in a safe and supported way, without dismissing or trying to fix them. This conversation offers a more connected and compassionate approach to supporting your child through their emotions. Links mentioned in the episode:  Download the E-book, I'm A Single Mum...

    510 - Parenting teens as a single mum

    In this episode, I'm talking about what it's really like to parent teens as a single mum, and why it can feel so intense and overwhelming. Beyond navigating teenage emotions and behaviour, you're also carrying the full mental load of running a household, managing finances, and handling co-parenting or solo parenting dynamics. While I'm still learning in this stage myself, today I share a few practical insights and approaches that have helped me, in the hope that they support you too as you navigate this challenging and important phase of motherhood.

    509 - How to help kids study

    In this episode, I'm talking about how to help your child study especially during those early high school years when everything can feel overwhelming for both you and them. I share a different way of thinking about studying, not as something kids should automatically know how to do, but as a skill that needs to be taught and supported. We explore how creating emotional safety, staying regulated as a parent, and focusing on effort rather than results can make a real difference in how your child approaches learning. If study time has been stressful in your home, this episode offers a more compassionate, practical approach to supporting your child without losing your mind in the process.

    508 - When your child says they want you back together

    In this episode, I talk about one of the hardest moments many single mums experience - when your child says they want you and your ex to get back together. If you've ever heard those words, you'll know how quickly guilt, sadness, and self-doubt can come up. I share why your child expressing this doesn't mean you've made the wrong decision, but rather that they are trying to process the changes in their world. This conversation offers reassurance, understanding, and gentle guidance to help you navigate these moments with more clarity and compassion - for both your child and yourself.

    507 - Financial independence is emotional independence

    In this episode, I talk about financial independence and why it matters so much in the life of a single mum - not just practically, but emotionally too. Through my work with women over the years, I've seen how closely financial independence is tied to emotional independence. When you begin to feel more capable and in control of your finances, something powerful shifts within you. In this conversation, I explore that connection and why building financial confidence can be a key part of rebuilding your sense of self and moving forward.

    506 - High-conflict co-parenting Is a nervous system issue (not just a personality issue)

    In this episode, I talk about high-conflict co-parenting and why it can feel so overwhelming and difficult to navigate. If you're dealing with a high-conflict ex, I want you to know, you're not crazy, and this isn't just about two people who don't get along. I explore how these dynamics are often linked to the nervous system, and how understanding this can shift the way you respond and protect your emotional wellbeing. If co-parenting has been affecting your mood and energy, this conversation will help you make sense of it and feel more grounded in how you handle it.
