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. I became a single mum in 2013 when my daughter was just a few months old, and it has been a challenging but rewarding journey ever since. This Podcast (and the website www.singlemothersurvivalguide) was created to assist newly single mothers in all things they may need to know about. SO WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOTHER SURVIVAL GUIDE PODCAST ABOUT? A Podcast for single mums, made by a single mum… The Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast includes a mixture of me babbling about single mums business and interviews and discussions with different people and experts about different topics. First off the ranks this includes an interview with a Wills and Estate lawyer which contains everything YOU need to know about getting a Will done, an interview with a financial adviser on everyday money management, savings, spending and so forth, an interview with an online security expert so that YOU know how to keep yourself secure online, an open interview with a domestic violence survivor and advocate, and another interview with a financial adviser on everything to do with insurance, and what you should think about getting insured to ensure the financial safety for you and your kids. Coming up after that I have chats with people including parenting experts, family lawyers, and a life coach. I also chat about the social stigma of being a single mum, single parent travel, everyday tips to make YOUR life easier, dating, personal budgeting, resources out there to help YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN, child support, domestic violence, successful co-parenting, advantages to being a single mum, and the list goes on…

    520 - My most powerful lessons from 10 years of supporting single mums

    In this episode, I'm reflecting on the biggest lessons I've learned after 10 years of coaching and supporting single mums through separation, divorce, and rebuilding their lives. While every woman's journey is unique, certain patterns, insights, and truths have come up time and time again. These lessons don't come from a textbook; they come from real conversations I've had, lived experiences, and walking alongside hundreds of women through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or well into creating your next chapter, I hope these reflections encourage, reassure, and inspire you.

    519 - The life you're creating is bigger than your divorce

    In this episode, we explore the powerful shift that happens when you move beyond simply surviving separation and begin asking, "What do I want to create now?" While divorce or separation may always be part of your story, it doesn't have to define the rest of your life. We talk about how to start building a future that's richer, more meaningful, and centred on who you're becoming (not what you've been through). If you're ready to move from getting through each day to creating a life you love, this episode will encourage you to take that next step with hope and purpose.

    518 - How to know you're healing (even if it doesn't feel like it)

    In this episode, I'm talking about one of the questions I'm asked most often: How do I know if I'm actually healing? After separation or divorce, it's easy to feel like you're making progress one day, only to be triggered the next and wonder if you're back where you started. I explore why healing is rarely a straight line and how setbacks don't erase the progress you've already made. If you've been questioning whether you're moving forward, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and reminders to help you recognise the quiet signs of healing that are often easy to miss.

    517 - Dating with intention

    In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to date with intention after separation or divorce. Whether you've found yourself jumping into relationships too quickly, avoiding dating altogether, or feeling unsure about what you're actually looking for, this conversation is for you. We explore the importance of understanding your values, being clear about your goals, and making conscious decisions rather than reacting out of fear, loneliness, or old patterns. Dating with intention isn't about finding someone as quickly as possible; it's about approaching relationships in a way that aligns with the life you want to create.

    515 - The five decisions that changed my life

    In this episode, I'm sharing five decisions that profoundly changed the course of my life. Inspired by a conversation with my daughter about "sliding door moments," I reflect on the choices that shaped who I am today and the life I've built. It's easy to think our lives are changed by luck, timing, or circumstances, but when I look back, it's the decisions made at pivotal crossroads that stand out the most. Many of those choices felt uncertain, uncomfortable, and even scary at the time, yet they ultimately led me in the direction I needed to go. This episode is an invitation to reflect on the power of your own decisions and the role they play in shaping your future. Links mentioned in the episode:  Download the E-book, I'm A Single Mum...

    514 - What actually creates happiness after divorce

    In this episode, I'm exploring what actually creates happiness after divorce, and why it's often not what we think. Many of us believe we'll finally be happy when the divorce is finalised, the finances are sorted, the co-parenting settles down, or a new relationship comes along. While those things can certainly help, lasting happiness doesn't have to wait until everything in life is fixed. I share what I've observed from working with single mums over the years and why the women who find happiness sooner are often the ones who learn how to create it alongside life's challenges, rather than after them. This episode is an invitation to rethink where happiness comes from and how you can begin cultivating it right now. Links mentioned in the episode:  Download the E-book, I'm A Single Mum...
