Single Mother Survival Guide

Becoming a single mum is one of the most daunting and overwhelming life changes someone will ever go through. Whether you are pregnant or have teenagers, you will most likely be confused and struggling with what to do next. I became a single mother in 2013 when my daughter was just a few months old, and it has been a challenging but rewarding journey ever since. This Podcast (and the website www.singlemothersurvivalguide.com) was created to assist newly single mothers in all things they may need to know about. SO WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOTHER SURVIVAL GUIDE PODCAST ABOUT? A Podcast for single mums, made by a single mum… The Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast includes a mixture of me babbling about single mums business, and interviews and discussions with different people and experts about different topics. First off the ranks this includes an interview with a Wills and Estate lawyer which contains everything YOU need to know about getting a Will done, an interview with a financial adviser on everyday money management, savings, spending and so forth, an interview with an online security expert so that YOU know how to keep yourself secure online, an open interview with a domestic violence survivor and advocate, and another interview with a financial adviser on everything to do with insurance, and what you should think about getting insured to ensure the financial safety for you and your kids. Coming up after that I have chats with people including parenting experts, family lawyers, and a life coach. I also chat about the social stigma of being a single mum, single parent travel, everyday tips to make YOUR life easier, dating, personal budgeting, resources out there to help YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN, child support, domestic violence, successful co-parenting, advantages to being a single mum, and the list goes on…

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.
