In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Jacqueline Hellyer from LOVELIFE. Jacqueline is a sex therapist, relationship coach, sex educator, tantra teacher, speaker, media expert, author and blogger….pretty much an all-around sex GURU. She's been featured in magazines such as Men's Health, Women's Health, Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Girlfriend, and Marie Claire, and on radio and television programs including Mix 106.5, Today, Sunrise, and 60 minutes. And she also has her own radio show and podcast, The Tantric Lounge.

On the show we talk about relaunching your sex life as a single mother - how to overcome your fears of getting yourself back out there (if it's a been a while), being intimate with a new person (if you've been with the same person for a long time), how to NOT separate being a mum from being a sexual woman, overcoming body image issues you may have, and all the other sex questions you want to know as a single mother.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia chats with the very inspirational Turia Pitt. Turia is not a single mother, nor a mother (yet), but she is someone who has been through a very traumatic experience and has turned her life around for the better.

In 2011, Turia was caught in a grass fire whilst running an ultra marathon and consequently suffered burns to 65% of her body. She survived against all odds, and since going through her recovery she has absolutely thrived in so many areas. She's a humanitarian, a motivationalist, a speaker, an author, a blogger, an athlete, a recent IRONMAN, the NSW Premier's Woman of the Year and a recent finalist for young Australian of the year.

In this episode we talk about how to not allow yourself to be a victim of life and how to keep yourself going in the tough times. A lot of this includes goal setting, which Turia teaches in her new online course, Turia's School of Champions. Turia also shares her favorite top tips for goal setting with us in this episode.

Turia also talks about her own relationship, and the positive things she has learnt from her parents.
