Single Mother Survival Guide

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with family lawyer, Kate Pateman. The topic of this week's episode is "I'm separated...now what?". Kate and Julia discuss what steps to take, and what to consider from a legal perspective when you are separated. This includes:

• a generalised process of what happens after separation, particularly if there are children involved,
• how to navigate child care arrangements,
• financial matters,
• what to do if one party is a business owner,
• child support issues,
• property settlement,
• the psychology of separation and negotiations, 
• the best way to document any agreements, and
• LOTS MORE!

Kate is the founder and Principal Collaborative Family Lawyer at KLP Family Law. She has practiced exclusively in the area of Family Law for almost a decade and has acquired vast experience throughout that time in all aspects of Family Law.

She is a leader in providing expert Family Law advice and provides realistic and commercial advice to her clients which has resulted in a better understanding for her clients of the process and of their entitlements. This generally leads to early and cost effective settlements as people are reasonable and empowered when they are confident that they have received the right advice and have a good understanding of the process and their rights.

Kate has a particular passion for and focus on financial matters involving complex issues and significant property pools.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Trish Everett. Trish is a single mum and a communication consultant and mindset coach. We discuss communicating with the ex and creating a positive mindset in difficult times.

Communicating with our ex can be at times challenging and Trish provides lots of useful advice on this topic - hearing the other person but standing up for ourselves in the co-parenting relationship, taking responsibility for our own emotions, how to get a great co-parenting relationship, how to communicate effectively, and how to communicate with a very difficult ex.

She also tells us how to create a positive mindset in the difficult times, and this includes thinking of our challenges as an opportunity to help us grow as a person.

We also discuss how she felt when becoming a single mum, the benefit of building up your own community to have around you, how she herself has used the (at times) challenging single mum journey to help her grow, and she also shares her advice for single mums.

Trish Everett is a communication consultant and mindset coach. She specialises in supporting in supporting people to have the conversations that matter and easing the heaviness that goes along with that. Her work takes her into organisations, families and community groups to help build the skills to bridge the difference between where they are now and where they want to be.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Lauren Cohen. Lauren shares her own personal story of becoming a single mum and tells Julia about starting her business. She also provides advice for single working mums, how to find the silver lining when at rock bottom, her advice for new single mums, and LOTS MORE!

Lauren is a South Florida Immigration Law Expert and attorney licensed in both the U.S. and Canada. Lauren faced some challenges her first few years of living and working in America and in pursuing her own immigration journey. She was limited in her ability to work in her chosen field due to licensure issues and struggled to make ends meet, but eventually all of her hard work paid off and she built a new career for herself. After spending several years working as corporate counsel in various industries while dabbling in the field of immigration law, at age 40 Lauren decided to combine her legal knowledge and business acumen and over the next few years built her own now thriving business - e-Council Inc., which is a company offering concierge turnkey business immigration services ranging from professional Business Plans to comprehensive project coordination for all types of US business immigration visas. And at 43 years old she had a baby on her own - although it was not a conscious choice to have her precious son alone. She's also in the process of setting up Find My Silver Lining – a non-profit established to inspire single working parents, especially mompreneurs, to work through tough times to find their Silver Lining and to live fulfilling lives.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Corrie McLeod. Corrie has such a positive outlook on life and has achieved so much despite being a single mum. She is a perfect example that anything is possible. At age 28 Corrie started out in PR, as an account coordinator at a large multinational PR firm, after working in hospitality for 10 years. Two years later when having her first baby, Corrie found that the firm she was working with was not set up to enable her to return to work part time. She was a single mum on a pension, when she started freelancing from home.

She founded Espresso Communications in 2004 and over the past decade has built the business into a thriving, internationally-recognised communications consulting company.

Corrie also created two additional business units under the Hello Espresso brand in 2015: InnovationAus.com and One Part Idea, to provide public advocacy and creative services, respectively, to Australian and international businesses.

In this episode Corrie shares her own story of becoming a single mum. She also discusses:

• starting a business as a single mum with a baby,
• how she stayed positive as a single mum with a baby,
• her approach to work life balance and how it has filtered through her company,
• benefits and challenges she found being a single mum,
• how being a single mum enabled her to travel the world with her son,
• how she coped as a full time single parent without family nearby,
• re-partnering as a single mum and how her family grew from 2 people to five in a couple of years,
• how she proactively prepared for her new family unit,
• challenges and benefits of re-partnering, and
• her advice for new single mums: that we are everything that our child needs, and that we are enough.
