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 week's episode, Julia chats with Lauren Patterson. Lauren is a single mum, a personal trainer, mental health advocate, and blogger at Mad Max Mum.

Lauren knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom. After living with depression and an eating disorder in her younger years, separating from the father of her children, and suffering from post-natal depression, a passion for living a balanced and healthy lifestyle was fueled which focused on self-love, empowerment and mindfulness.

In this episode Lauren shares some of her single mum story and life. Lauren chats with Julia about how being a single mum brought out positive changes in her life, how she managed with her relationship break-up and PND, getting through the dark days of being a new single mum, challenges of being a single mum, and how her view on herself as a single mum has changed.

Lauren also shares the benefits she's found being a single mum and her advice for new single mums.

A must listen!

Isiah McKimmie, one of Australia’s leading relationship and sex experts is back to chat with Julia in this week's episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast.

This time, Julia and Isiah talk about sex and pain. Sex and pain are not two words we’d typically like to put in a sentence together; not when it's unwanted anyway. 

In this episode Isiah chats with Julia about:

  • The different types of pain including sexual pain, pelvic pain, and chronic pain. 
  • If there are any stages in life where it could get worse.
  • How common it actually is for women to experience pain during and after sex.
  • What the potential causes are of the pain.
  • And how to fix it! - the treatment options available (and why orgasms support the body in dealing with pain).

Isiah also shares preventative tips to prevent pain.

If you have ever experienced pain during or after sex then this is the episode for you! 

Isiah is a passionate couples therapist, sex therapist, sexologist and tantra expert who has been helping women and couples discover deeper intimacy and desire for over a decade.  

One of the most qualified Sex and Relationship Experts in Australia, Isiah holds a Masters degree in Relational Psychotherapy, a Master degree in Science in Medicine (Sexual Counselling/Psychosexual Therapy), a Post-Graduate Diploma of Sexology and a Certificate from the prestigious Institute for the Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality.  

She has been featured in or written for publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, The Huffington Post, Mamamia, Cosmo, the SMH, Cleo, My Body and Soul and has been on the Today Show and SBS. She is the go to expert on sex in Australia.
