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…

Anna Kellerman is passionate about art, kids, sharing and connecting. She is a trained art educator, with a Bachelor of Art Education, majoring in Educational Psychology, and a registered art therapist with a Masters in Art Therapy. She has published a thesis on the benefits of working with clay and children with anxiety disorders. Over the past ten years she has worked with kids and teens with a range of emotional and behavioural problems, and most recently worked with children from domestic violence backgrounds.

Anna is also the founder of Mama Creatives which is about building a supportive and collaborative community for creative mothers to connect and flourish. And she’s also a single mum and she's on the show this week to share her story. Julia and Anna discuss the following points.

  • Debunking the relationship myth that long term relationships = success, and therefore, the end of a relationship must = failure. Not true! 
  • The fear of being single in middle age.
  • Choices.
  • How life changed for Anna as a single mum and how she felt about it.
  • Co-parenting.
  • Rebuilding after separation.
  • Text rage.
  • Divorce parties.
  • Empowerment through independence.

Just a few weeks after Rosanna found out she was pregnant, she was diagnosed with cancer and shortly afterwards, her partner left her. He moved out of their home whilst she was interstate and she never saw him again. Her life was turned upside down.

Although encouraged to terminate her unborn child, Rosanna carried on with her pregnancy and started treatment to fight for her and her unborn child's life.

This is her story.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Rosanna shares how she dealt with becoming a single mother and having cancer during pregnancy, cancer treatment throughout and after pregnancy, how cancer changed her, what she learned through her experience, her identity struggles, how she copes having an ex partner who has zero involvement with her daughter and how she intends to explain the situation to her daughter. Rosanna also shares her advice for new single mums, her advice for anyone going through cancer, and what she loves the most about being a single mum.
