496 - Why you don't actually need to 'be strong' right now
03/03/2026 | 15 min
This week, I wanted to have an honest conversation about something we hear a lot as single mums - "You're so strong." While it's often meant as a compliment, I want to explore why that phrase can sometimes feel like a burden rather than support. When you're juggling work, parenting, co-parenting, emotional stress, and maybe even a hostile ex, being told "you're strong" can quietly reinforce the idea that you have to keep holding it all together, no matter how exhausted or drained you feel inside. In this episode, I talk about why you don't actually need to be strong right now, and why feeling tired, overwhelmed, or like you're barely keeping it together doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. This is a reminder that you're allowed to soften, to feel, and to let go of the pressure to constantly cope. If you're reading and nodding along, this episode is for you - a space to breathe, feel seen, and not be "strong".

495 - Divorce transition and how to get through it
24/02/2026 | 30 min
When we go through a separation or divorce, it's not just the end of a relationship; it's the unraveling of almost every part of our lives. Our routines shift, our finances change, our plans for the future are rewritten, and our sense of identity can feel completely shaken. Everything we thought life would look like suddenly flips upside down, and the impact of that runs far deeper than most people realise.
In this episode, I'm talking about why separation feels so overwhelming, especially for single mums who are often trying to process life-changing emotional pain while also holding everything together for their children. We'll explore what makes this transition so heavy, why it's normal to feel lost or disoriented, what the six needs are that help us move through the divorce transition, and how to begin moving through the emotional shock while still navigating daily life.

Your 40s can be a season of transition - physically, emotionally, and hormonally.
In this episode, we talk about how to work with your body rather than against it. You'll learn why awareness is the key to navigating this stage with confidence, how to adapt your habits to support your changing body, and why prevention and self-care matter more than ever.

493 - Dating again as a mum - What's different (and how to stay true to you)
10/02/2026 | 29 min
Dating as a mum is a completely different world compared to dating before kids. It's not just about chemistry anymore; it's about compatibility, respect, and the kind of energy someone brings into your life (and potentially, your children's).
In this episode, we're diving into the realities of dating as a single mum - the emotional hurdles, the practical challenges, and the powerful growth that comes with approaching love from a new perspective.

492 - The emotional rollercoaster of sending your child to school or high school
03/02/2026 | 24 min
Today's episode is all about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sending your child off to school - whether it's their very first day in kindy, their start in high school, or another big transitional year. While we're busy sorting uniforms, stationery, lunchboxes, and the endless school admin, there's a whole other layer happening quietly underneath: our emotions.
For mums (especially single mums or those navigating complex co-parenting), this transition can feel huge. You might feel proud one moment and teary the next, excited but anxious, or completely overwhelmed by the weight of it all. In this episode, I'm diving into why these emotions feel so intense, what's really happening beneath the surface, and how you can support both your child and yourself through this big change with gentleness and awareness.

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…
