Single Mother Survival Guide

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia chats with Sarah Argenal. Sarah is the Founder of the Working Parent Resource and the host of the Working Parent Resource Podcast, both of which are dedicated to helping parents in demanding professions avoid burnout and balance a thriving professional life with a fulfilling family life without sacrificing one area over another.

Sarah and Julia discuss time management and how to make the most of each day, balance, and the importance of checking in with our values.

Sarah also shares her tips on:

• Systems, routines, and strategies that we can implement in our daily lives to become calmer and more organized.
• How we can simplify our life so that we don't feel resentment, frustration, and pressure from really excessive expectations that we put onto ourselves, so that we can focus on what's really important.
• Making mindful decisions about how we can blend career with family responsibilities without sacrificing either one.
• How we can manage overwhelming emotions that come with being a parent as well as having a demanding professional career.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, I chat with single mum Rosemary. It's an incredible story of courage.

We talk about Rosemary's story of becoming a single mum - the hurdles that she crossed in deciding to end the relationship, and how she came to the decision that leaving was the best option for her and her daughter. We also talk about how she found her feet and redefined herself and her expectations of future relationships, what the whole experience taught her daughter and teaching her daughter to make decisions that empower her through role modeling those actions herself, the stigma that it's better for kids if their parents are together, and the benefits and challenges she has come across in becoming a single parent.

This is a really amazing and insightful discussion and one of my favourite conversations to date.

In Part 2 of this two part episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Lara Flanagan. Lara is a true inspiration. She is the single mum who has been travelling the world with her kids on just $100 a day. At age 41, Lara Flanagan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was told she was destined to a life in a wheelchair. After struggling to accept the news she eventually took control of her condition to embrace the best life has to offer.

Selling everything she owned, since last year, she and her 9 year old twins have been setting out on the ultimate adventure around the globe all while inspiring others with her message of hope.

In her own words, she is also a photo taking, food obsessed, foul mouthed, constantly writing and country-loving Mamma. And her Blog - My Notes from New England is where she shares her stories. She is on the constant hunt for taste, colour, flavour and love with lashings of food for the soul.

Her blog covers everything from dealing with life in the country as a single mum city-chic to being diagnosed with MS to travelling the world with twins, armed only with a laptop and her camera. It's also about her love of vegan food and the life she shares with her twins and her two mad dogs. It covers the good, the bad, the funny, the sad and the downright fucking ugly.

In this episode (Part 2) we talk about how her diagnosis with MS motivated her to live life to the fullest and travel the world for 9 months with her 8 year old twins. We talk about where they went and the experiences they had, how she financed it prior to leaving, how she budgeted the expenses overseas, what traveling taught her children, how they were schooled. We also talk about her blog - My Notes from New England, the best things about being a single mum, her advice for new single mums and lots lots more!
