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…

Stacey was 18 years old and homeless when she met her (now ex) husband. He played the rescuer but over time she began to see his manipulative tendencies, and the strength that she gained over the 12 years she was with him started to threaten him. 

Throughout the relationship, she was also dealing with an undiagnosed mental illness - borderline personality disorder, and drug addiction.

Four years ago she hit rock bottom. Her love for her son saved from suicide that night and that resulted in her getting help the very next day. Since then she has completely turned her life around and also remarried. 

In this episode, Stacey shares her story.

We also talk about:

  • How her undiagnosed mental illness and toxic relationship affected her son.
  • Mum guilt.
  • The childhood trauma she endured and how that affected her core beliefs and the way in which she parents.
  • And so much more.

Stacey also shares some brilliant advice for other single mums and her favourite things about being a single mum.

Stacey is a true inspiration, and I hope you love this episode!
