Today, we sit down with two lovely ladies, Lennea and Sherri, and talk about our experiences in the dating world. Strange and bizarre profile pictures, write-ups that make us cringe, and what actually makes us swipe right. Nothing is off the table, so guys take note! And don't worry - we'll be doing a panel of single dads to even the score!

Hayley's journey into single motherhood was not a path she chose. When her marriage ended, she walked the long difficult path of figuring out what came next, both for her and for her kids. Through that healing journey, she rediscovered herself and has created a thriving life for both her and her kids!

The Christinas reconnect and talk about what's been happening with us over the last month - coaching soccer together, dating and relationships, and working on getting rid of that mom/parent guilt.

Being single moms, we understand the struggles we face as mothers and as women. Today, we sit down with Tanis Moore from CCMF (Canadian Centre for Men and Families) and talk about the struggles that men face, especially as fathers.

We've talked on this podcast before about the stigma surrounding men and mental health. Tanis shares how CCMF supports and uplifts men to create healthier dynamics within their relationships, with their children and partners, and with themselves.

Tune in today as we sit down with Jess, a single woman who fell in love with a father of two. Being a parent is challenging in and of itself - Jess shares her story of how she navigated the difficult waters of fitting into a set family dynamic and how she, her now husband, and the kids figured out their new family groove!

Today, we sit down with Natasha, a single mom of three rambunctious and loving kids. She talks about the difficulty she experienced as an oilfield wife and living life as a single mom within a marriage.

She also shares how she came to the difficult decision to leave, and the challenge all single parents face in balancing work, kids, and maybe squeezing in some time for yourself.

After a short hiatus, the Christinas get back together to talk all things Mother's Day! Welcome to year two of the Single Parent Podcast!

Today, we celebrate a whole year of resources, stories, and growth for us as hosts! We look back on some of our favourite stories and guests, as well as talk about how much we've enjoyed creating the podcast and growing this beautiful community of followers! Thank you to everyone who has supported us and this podcast over the last year - we couldn't have done it without you!!

Everyone, at some point in their life, has encountered and experienced grief and/or trauma. It could be the death of a loved one, a relationship that ends, or a friendship bond that breaks. All of those involve one commonality - loss. And loss can trigger all kinds of emotions and feelings that we may not be equipped to deal with. We sit down with Ashley Mielke from the Grief and Trauma Healing Centre to talk about different kinds of trauma, how it affects every aspect of life, and what we can do for both ourselves and for others when grief and trauma happen.
