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…

Ashlene Marshall was fast asleep when her husband woke her up and told her he had something to say. He told her he was done. They had been together for ten years and had a 21 week old and a 2 year old. There were no prior to signs that there was anything wrong in the relationship, or that he was unhappy. 

In this episode, Ashlene shares her single mum story. 

She also discusses ten signs of men who suddenly abandon their wives (according to Vikki Stark), the impact the abandonment has had on her life, her discovery of the other woman, challenges she’s come across, and how she has coped. Plus so much more.

As raw and heartbreaking this story is, ultimately it’s a story of courage, and inspiration.

In this week's episode, I chat with Zoe Hendrix from Australia’s very first season of Married at First Sight. Australia watched with anticipation as she married Alex and their love story continued on for four years after the show. In November 2016 their beautiful daughter Harper Rose was born, and then six months ago, in April 2018, they separated.

Zoe is now a single mum and she’s on the show this week to share some of her story and to have a bit of a chat about single mum life. 

We chat about the shame of becoming a single mum, allowing yourself to feel the grief and heartache of a break-up, treating yourself like you do your child, how life changed as a single mum, setting free the "perfect life plan", strategies to rise from rock bottom, how connecting with other single mums can change your life, the stigma of single mums (and how amazing we really are!), dating as a single mum, and how doing things for ourselves does NOT make us bad mums.

We also chat about overcompensating as a single mum, how Zoe's daughter coped with the separation and the resilience of children, how appearances can be deceiving, co-parenting challenges, and SO MUCH MORE!

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

This was such a great conversation, and Zoe's attitude is so inspiring. A must listen!
