Single mum Alicia joins me on the show this week to talk about her single mum journey and how she has overcome limiting beliefs about being a single mum and not letting the fact that she is a single mum stop her from doing what she wants to do.

We chat about:

• Using being a single mum as motivation, not an excuse.
• Making it happen! There are always options.

Alicia also shares how she felt about becoming a single mum and how life changed for her, challenges encountered as a single mum, her advice for single mums, tips when flying with toddlers and the best thing she has found about being a single mum.
