Maintaining a work-life balance can be challenging for anyone, but it can be even more difficult for a single mother. Juggling the responsibilities of work, parenting, and personal time can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, it's important to prioritize self-care and find ways to balance all aspects of life in order to prevent burnout and maintain overall well-being. 

Ultimately, maintaining a work-life balance as a single mother requires intentional effort and a willingness to prioritize self-care and personal time. By caring for yourself and setting clear boundaries, you can find the best balance for yourself and your family.

I hope these tips help you achieve a healthy work-life balance, leading to a more fulfilling and successful life both personally and professionally.

This week on the show, my special guest Jade shares Part 2 of her story.

**Please note this episode and topic may act as a trigger for some people, and this episode is unsuitable to listen to within earshot of children.**

Jade is a single mum who has been through a lot. She was in a relationship where her partner gaslit her, was unfaithful, and was emotionally abusive. For a long time, Jade struggled with the effects of her partner's behaviour. She questioned her own sanity and felt like she was losing her grip on reality. Today, she is a thriving woman who is now paying it forward. She is using her own experiences to help others who may be going through similar challenges, helping other women to recognise what is holding them back and reclaiming personal power.

Her story is a powerful reminder not to ignore the subtle signs of gaslighting and emotional abuse, and that no one deserves to be in an abusive relationship.

In this episode Jade and I talked about:

•         The gaslighting she experienced.
•         Finding out about her husband’s infidelity.
•         Managing co-parenting with her ex-partner.
•         The trauma she went through and knowing that the people around her knew about the whole ordeal.
•         Steps she took to move on.
•         Reconnecting with herself and being so much closer with the girls as a single mum.
•         Her learnings from what she experienced.

In this episode, I talk about the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), including what it is, and how keeping it regulated can help you. The ANS is something I’ve grown more and more interested in over the last two years, and it’s something I often incorporate into my coaching practice.

Today, I share:

• A brief summary of what the ANS is and what it is responsible for in keeping our bodies achieve balanced homeostasis.
• The two states of the ANS and how it affects us.
• Why it’s important to look after your ANS.
• Strategies to help you optimize your ANS.
