Claire Martin is the founder and host of “Strong, Single and Human” Podcast. Claire started her podcast during lockdown because she didn't think social media presented the real life of a solo mom.

In this interview, we talk about how she became a solo mom later in life. Claire describes her challenges with co-parenting with her son's addicted father.

She also shares some important tips for any solo mom who might find herself co-parenting with someone who is addicted.

Claire encourages you to:

• set boundaries when dealing with an addicted co-parent
• educate yourself about addiction
• network with other parents and connect with available resources
• take time for yourself

One of the ways Claire copes with the challenges of raising a child solo is that she not only set personal goals but she also involves her son in her goal-setting efforts.

She also practices gratitude as a way to create peace within herself.

Don't Parent in Silence

Hello Solo Moms. As a solo mom of three adult sons, I understand the challenges you face on a daily basis. As a mentor, my mission is to help you shift your mindset and empower you to take control of your life, to see yourself as God sees you. I know that unresolved trauma can be a heavy burden to carry and parenting alone can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be that way. I want you to know that you are not alone. You have the strength and resilience to overcome your challenges and create the life you desire.
