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 Leanne Mulcahy. Leanne found herself unexpectedly pregnant at 18 and when her relationship didn’t work out, she became a single mum when her daughter was 6 months old. She has since created an amazing life for herself. She is an award-winning designer and Founder of Stand Out Women, which is a global community for women who are ready to live life on their own terms. She’s also a speaker and an author.

Her first book Notes to Self was released in 2015 and was a hit with women who connected with her story of overcoming severe shyness and lack of self-worth to have a business where she helps women have the life they really want. An updated version of this book - Imperfectly Perfect - has since been released.

Leanne also works with women to design a clear vision and plan that helps them overcome mindset blocks that keep them stuck, boost their confidence so they can stop worrying and doubting themselves and feel good about taking deliberate and inspired action.

Her online radio show, Stand Out Radio, is where women from around the world share inspirational stories, wisdom and answer the burning question "what does it mean to live life on your own terms".

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Leanne tells us about her own journey of becoming a single mum, and what it was like being such a young single mum and how she coped. She also discusses the benefits she encountered in being a single mum, and what it has taught her daughter. She also shares what life looks like for her today, her advice for single mums, and what she’s learnt through her experience of being a single mum.

Having to choose between having an abortion and being a single mother is one of the toughest crossroads anyone can encounter. In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Alyce Haack and Julia talk about exactly that. Alyce went from working in resorts and living an idyllic lifestyle, to pregnant with a partner who no longer wanted to have a baby. 

In addition to sharing her story, Alyce also talks about being a single mum without a strong support network, the stigma of being a single mum, and how she balances being a single mum and taking care of herself. She also shares her positives of being a single mum, and offers her advice for new single mums.

In this solo episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks about her last relationship and her experience of being ghosted. If you haven't heard of "ghosting", it's the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. According to research a whooping 50 percent of men and women have experienced it and an almost equal number have done the ghosting.
