    Dating After Divorce with Kate and Sarah from Kasalyst

    Dating again after divorce can bring up a whole mix of emotions. Where do you even start? How do you know when you’re ready? And how do you navigate meeting someone new when your last relationship didn’t work out as you had hoped? In this episode of Single Parent Reset, I’m joined by the founders of Kasalyst, a private members’ club for singles aged 35+ created as an alternative to the world of swiping and dating apps. We talk honestly about their own experiences of dating after divorce, what they’ve learned along the way and the advice they would give to anyone thinking about putting themselves back out there. We also talk about what led them to create Kasalyst and why they wanted to build a different kind of space for people looking to make genuine connections.

    The One Person Who Can Help You Make a Change

    This week’s episode is all about taking back some of the power you have in your own life. We’re looking at why it can be so easy to wait for things to change, for someone else to step in, or for life to become easier before taking action, and how you can start recognising what is actually within your control. I’ll take you through practical steps to help you spot where you’ve stopped taking action, understand what’s getting in the way and start making changes, one small step at a time. This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like life is simply happening to you. If there’s something in your life you’ve been waiting to change, putting off or wishing someone else would sort out, this episode will help you look at what you can do about it.

    Co-Parenting After Separation with Noel Crabbe

    In this episode of Single Parent Reset, I’m joined by Noel Crabbe, founder of ParenThing, to talk about the journey of becoming a co-parent and how life can change when you go from parenting together to parenting across two homes. Noel shares his own experience of becoming a co-parent, what he learned along the way and some of the challenges that can come with navigating communication, routines and the everyday logistics of raising children after separation. We also talk ParenThing, a co-parenting app created by Noel designed to make the practical side of parenting across two homes a little easier, from messages and shared calendars to expenses and keeping important information in one place. Whether you’re newly co-parenting, have been doing it for years or are still figuring out what works for your family, this is an honest conversation about the realities of co-parenting and finding ways to make life a little calmer for everyone.

    Why September Feels So Hard as a Single Parent

    September can bring a lot of pressure for single parents new routines, school demands, work expectations and the feeling that you should somehow have everything back under control. In this episode, we’re looking at the pressure we put on ourselves and how to recognise the difference between what genuinely matters to you and the expectations you can let go of. This episode is for any single parent who is feeling overwhelmed, behind or like they should be doing more this September. We’ll explore how to challenge the “shoulds”, step away from comparison and think about how you actually want to feel this month so you can create a September that works for you and your family, rather than trying to live up to someone else’s version of it.
