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 chats to holistic health practitioner Robin LaCross. 

Robin and Julia discuss how to talk to kids about sex, the right terminology to use with children, how to answer the where did I come from? question and any other sex related questions, talking to our kids about menstruation, what HPV is, the cervical cancer vaccine, how to protect yourself from HPV, having safe sex with HPV, natural birth control methods and much more.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia continues her chat from last week with family lawyer Todd Street. 

This is the second part of Todd's second time on the show and again, Todd answers questions which were sent in by the Single Mother Survival Guide Community.

The questions relate to getting an ex drug tested, when your ex wants to change the current 60/40 care arrangement to a 50/50 arrangement and you are not keen, continuity when changing lawyers, how good legal aid is and if you can still get a good outcome using legal aid, what qualifies someone for legal aid, how to get a court to recognise domestic violence and ongoing emotional abuse with young children and reducing access with an unstable parent, what to do when children are traumatised and really not wanting to go with the other parent when it is court ordered, and lots more!
