Single, Stretched, and Still Smiling: The Truth About Solo Parenting Success


Listen Later

What if the chaos of single parenting could be harnessed and moulded into a journey of self-exploration and personal growth? As I recently navigated single parenthood for a three-and-a-half week stretch, I came face-to-face with the challenges it throws up - increased reliance on social media for connection, a lax bedtime routine, and juggling work within school hours. Yet, this is not a tale of despair. It's about finding your personal power and learning to retain it, even amidst the storms life throws at us.

During this singular journey, I re-evaluated my expectations as a parent. I adjusted the bar of my parenting standards and prioritised self-care, finding that crucial balance between quality time with my daughter and maintaining productivity. The voyage didn't stop there. I ventured into the realm of self-investment – realising that the best way to ensure our overall well-being, and that of our children, is to invest in ourselves. From managing digital addiction to setting realistic expectations, we’ll unravel the strategies and tools to help you break out of unhealthy cycles. So join me as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, single parent or not.
