Do I Really Hate Men?

This week on the show Ang is joined by Miss Amber Jayne, an early childhood whisperer, who has been operating preschools in northern California for almost 20 years. Amber was married at the age of 18. However, she had a gut feeling that her relationship wasn't going to be the fairy tale she had always envisioned. Despite this she pushed forward with the hope that things would get better in time. Unfortunately, they didn't. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31 she realised that you only get one shot at life and decided to get hers back.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Amber was married at the age of 18, and like so many, looked past the red flags and thought 'things will get better.' However, as her marriage went on, things got worse. She discusses the cycle of abuse that led her to get divorced 17 years later.
• At the age of 31 Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer, she prayed that this might be a blessing in disguise and make her husband change his ways, but he remained the same. Amber explains how this was the moment she began to come to terms with the reality of her relationship.
• Amber had four children with her ex husband, but what she discovered is that he used them as pawns to manipulate her and their relationship. She talks about how she finally realised this and the steps she took to protect her children.
• Amber signed up to the school of 'Stay busy' in order to help heal from her divorce. She outlines the positives of this approach and how it led her to opening and owning a number of preschools in northern California.

BEST MOMENTS

"It is possible, unfortunately, to see red flags and still love somebody."

"If you're in a toxic relationship and you're staying for the kids then you're doing them a disservice, because you are falling apart and you're no good for anybody."

"Making the decision to get divorced and then to go through with it is life changing, but the real change only comes when you begin to work on yourself."

This week on the show Ang is tackling the subject of parenting through divorce. It is most people's conception that the way to guide your children through divorce is by smothering them with love. However, through Ang's own experience with her two boys, she has found that this is simply not the case. In this episode Ang shares her lessons learned and top tips and tricks to help you help your children as they navigate the turbulent waters of divorce.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Society labels children whose parents have divorced as those who have come from a "broken home". However, as Ang explains, through her own experience, a broken home is not what society thinks it is.
• It is vitally important to care and protect your children during and after divorce, but this might come from 'direct parenting'. Ang talks about how being the best version of you is the best thing you can do for them.
• After a divorce most children feel like they've suddenly got less in their lives. Ang addresses this by sharing and explaining her number one tip - be present.

This week, Ang is excited to welcome her first ever male guest - Andy Baker, a behaviour specialist, author, podcaster, speaker and entrepreneur. Specialising in behaviour management in adult and child social care for over 20 years, Andy went through a divorce in 2014. His partner had a son from a previous relationship and, over the years, Andy became his father. Once the divorce was finalised, Andy was determined to not lose his son. With his expertise in behaviour management and through time and patience, he was able to continue a positive relationship with his son and ex-partner. In this interview with Ang, Andy explains the steps he took and how you can adopt them to help your child through a divorce with less trauma.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When a relationship ends people often turn to their nearest and dearest for advice, however, Andy and his ex partner took the step of working with a separation counsellor. He explains what this is, how the process works and what he and his partner gained from the experience.
• When Andy entered into his previous relationship his partner already had a son, who Andy formed a strong bond with. Once his relationship ended, Andy wanted to continue being a father to him. He talks about how that process developed post relationship and the string bond that continues to this day.
• Children do not have the same depth of social experience and brain development as adults. Andy explains how children view divorce differently from their parents and how you can make that an easier emotional experience for them.
• If you have gone through a divorce, your child or children are in pain. But, how do you identify how this pain manifests and what can you do to help them? Andy details the signs to look out for and how to respond.

BEST MOMENTS

"Children interpret the world and the things they hear in a different way to adults. Try to be mindful of your behaviour and speech around them."

"The child that gets angry is easy to identify, the child that goes into withdrawal is harder to spot, but they still need the same level of nurturing and support."

"When you are a parent, you are your own boss, your own manager. So you've got to be the best employee, but also the best manager you can be."

This week on the show Ang is on a mission to inject some positivity into the subject of divorce. It took Ang a long time to get into a better place after her divorce and one of the main things that helped her was recognising the negativity in her life. But, she didn't just try to eliminate negativity, as she soon discovered that was impossible, she actually learned how to embrace it and manage it so that it no longer controlled her life. In this episode, Ang is sharing her tips and tricks so that you can become a master of your negativity and move into a more positive place.

• Ang shares the details of an exercise she works on with couples, whereby changing your negative vocabulary to a more positive one can drastically alter your mindset.

This week Ang is joined by Vanessa White, an accredited relationship and divorce master coach who specialises in domestic abuse. Vanessa thought she was happily married. But, when she came to the realisation that she was in fact in an abusive relationship her life fundamentally changed. After finding the courage to leave the relationship and the strength to move on, Vanessa decided to become a relationship coach to help people that were experiencing what she herself had experienced.

"Find somebody that wants to be with you for you."

"The tragedy of abuse is that the person that is supposed to be loving you the most is the one that is hurting you."

Unfortunately, divorce and legal drama go hand in hand. Whilst some people manage to facilitate an amicable separation, it is incredibly rare. As for Ang, she found herself in a legal battle that raged on for almost 2 years. In this week's show Ang is recounting the beginning of her legal journey. After 2 years, 8 court hearings and hundreds of letters Ang became an expert, so much so, that she took the unusual, and brave, decision to represent herself. So, get your legal pad out and prepare to take notes, because this episode is packed with practical tips and advice for those who need it most.

• What Ang wasn't expecting during her legal ordeal was the lies, anger and callousness that came not just from her ex partner but his legal team. Understanding that this was just a tactic to intimidate her, ang developed strategies to overcome these attacks, which she explains here.
• As most people do when they find themselves in legal difficulties, Ang sought the help of a solicitor. However, she soon realised that this may not have been the right move for her. She details her experience and how you can learn from it.
• Ang's first day in court was a shock to her system. She was expecting honesty, impartiality and mediation. But she was met with something very different. Something she wasn't prepared for. She shares her experience here so that you will know exactly what to expect.

BEST MOMENTS

"During a divorce you have to fight. For your children, your freedom, your future and to regain your power."

"Be very careful who you entrust the outcome of your future with and be doubly careful when there are children involved."

"Speak to people that have experienced this, learn from them, if you don't, you'll be setting yourself up for a longer, harder road than necessary."

• Everything changes after a divorce, not just the things you expect to change. Ang had this realisation when it was time to book her first 'post-divorce' family holiday. She talks about the challenges this presented but also the rewards that came with it.
• Whilst your life changes after a divorce, the rest of the world seems to stay the same, especially with annual events such as mothers day. Ang discusses how events like mothers day can take on a whole new meaning after a divorce for both you and your children.

BEST MOMENTS

"The only thing you can ever have control over in your life is your own thoughts, feelings and actions."

"It's a natural human reaction to think "an eye for an eye", but if you learn to rise above it, you will instantly see the benefits."

"Children see more than we give them credit for, so don't try and hide it from them, because they can see it anyway."

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an 'I hate men' podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside.

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain, lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don't hate men! It's important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.

Unfortunately divorce comes hand in hand with a barrage of negative emotions. And it is these emotions that linger with us, control us and, if not addressed, can influence who we become. Recovery from a divorce is, put simply, moving on from negative emotions. But, this is not as easy as it sounds. Ang has experienced all the negative emotions associated with divorce first hand, and, in this week's episode, she is here to guide you through her top 5 coping strategies to move past these emotions and begin the journey to being the best version of you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It's OK to not be OK. Negative emotions are all part of the human experience, we have all felt them in the past and will feel them in the future. Ang shares, from her experience, how to cope with these emotions so that they don't end up controlling you.
• Just after her divorce, Ang received some bad news that threatened to spoil her valentines day. She recounts how she overcame these negative emotions by learning to love herself.
• We often look to friends and family for help and support when we are experiencing hard times but, as Ang learnt and explains, only you have the power to change your world.
• Advice, strategies and plans are all great but, without action, they are meaningless. Ang shares her tips on how to move from the planning stage to the action stage and how to keep going once you get there.

BEST MOMENTS

"When we fail to feel better, we beat ourselves up and end up spiralling, but if we fight back, we can feel better."

"You need to learn to be good to yourself, to love yourself."

"Stop trying to be the finished article, instead, continue to learn and move forward. Take every opportunity to grow."
