In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Marcia Watts. Marcia is a counsellor in the private practice Transform to Lead based in Brisbane, Australia. She offers clients a compassionate, solution-oriented counselling service, enabling them to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. She is passionate about helping adults and couples improve their personal lives, marriages, and family relationships and she has a special interest in re-partnering and step families, as well as her own personal experience of marriage breakdown and five years as a single parent of 3 boys, before marrying her now husband, Ian, and creating a blended family.

In this episode Marcia shares her own story from divorce  to remarriage. We also discuss:

• how divorce can affect women and how we react, respond and recover;
• strategies for surviving and thriving as a single parent; 
• common fears for the single mum entering into a new relationship and how to overcome them;
• how to keep the ex out of the new relationship;
• common issues that arise in a blended family;
• the role of a stepmother;
• and LOTS MORE!
