In this week’s episode, we’re discussing the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries to protect your personal well-being. As a divorce and recovery coach, I often work with clients who find the concept of boundaries quite new and sometimes uncomfortable. In this episode, I’ll explain what boundaries are, why they matter, and guide you through identifying areas in your life where boundaries might be needed. We’ll also cover steps to establish healthy boundaries, how to overcome common challenges, and the long-term benefits of maintaining strong boundaries. I hope you find this episode really helpful.

Please note this episode and topic may act as a trigger for some people, and this episode is not suitable to listen to within earshot of children.

In this episode, we are joined by Wayne Holdsworth, who shares his heart-wrenching story and important mission. On Tuesday, the 24th of October, Wayne’s life was forever changed when he discovered that his son, Mac, had taken his own life at home in Victoria. Faced with the unimaginable task of telling his daughter, Daisy, that her brother had died, Wayne has turned this personal tragedy into a powerful crusade to prevent suicide.

Wayne is now dedicated to raising awareness about the alarming rates of suicide in Australia. Last year alone, 801 people took their own lives in Victoria, with more than 3,200 across Australia. Wayne points out that these numbers are on the rise, creating an epidemic that surpasses the impact of COVID-19 in its devastation.

In honour of his son, Wayne founded the charity “Smack Talk” and now travels the country sharing his story. Through his talks, he educates parents and communities about the warning signs of suicide and provides essential tips for supporting mental health. Wayne’s mission is to spread awareness, educate others, and offer practical advice on how we can all contribute to supporting children’s mental health and recognising the signs of distress.

We talked about:

• Wayne’s story about how his son passed.
• How Smack Talk was started after his son passed away.
• Statistics and the impact of social media on children’s mental health and brain development.
• Reasons some kids take their lives.
• Sextortion in social media.
• How the government could be an ally in making legislative reforms on social media usage.
• Warning signs of suicide and tips for helping people.
• How we can help.

I hope you find this episode not only inspiring, but also educational and informative as Wayne shares his invaluable insights and experiences. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. Together, we can make a difference and support each other in preventing such tragedies.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of cultivating an abundance mindset for single mums. Mindset can profoundly impact our lives, shaping how we view the world, engage in self-talk, and form our core beliefs. Changing our mindset is hard work, requiring time, effort, and consistency, but it is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. This shift also positively impacts our children, passing on the gift of positivity and possibility. While abundance may seem like an unrealistic dream due to the many challenges single mums face, an abundance mindset can shift perspectives and attract positive opportunities. We explore practical strategies for single mums to embrace an abundance mindset, leading to a life filled with joy, fulfilment, and prosperity. Tune in to learn how you can empower yourself and create a life you love.

This week on the show, I have Hannah Strong joining me. Hannah Strong is an industry expert, coach, and therapist, specialising in helping mums to support their children in the best way possible through divorce and throughout a childhood of growing up with separated parents – so their children do not just survive and get by, but thrive! She supports mums through her own framework which is not only based on the science of child brain development and Hannah’s psychological knowledge as a therapist but also her own lived experience as a separated mum of two children.

Through Hannah’s lived experience she personally understands the struggles of the mums she works with. Her passion for empowering children to thrive led to the creation of her own podcast and coaching programme known as My Thriving Child.

In this episode, Hannah and I talked about:

• Hannah’s background and her single mum journey
• Attachment of children and its impact
• Her experience working with mums who were separating
• Her drive to let her children thrive as they grow
• Advice to single mums struggling to support their child during the co-parenting transition period

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the often-overlooked topic of post-separation abuse. While it’s not widely discussed, it’s unfortunately experienced by many.

We start by exploring the correlation between high-conflict personalities and abuse, shedding light on this important connection. I also share eight common ways that post-separation abuse can manifest itself, as well as four steps to prepare for safety and six other methods to help you manage the situation.

Post-separation abuse, often emotional and psychological in nature, can leave victims feeling confused, anxious, and unable to trust themselves. Research indicates that emotional abuse can be more psychologically damaging than physical abuse. If you’re finding yourself in fight, flight, or freeze mode, you’re not alone. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this crucial topic.

This week on the show, I have Zoë Desmond joining me. Zoë is the Founder & CEO of Frolo, a pioneering app tailored exclusively for single parents. Zoë is also the Co-Author of ‘How to be a Happy Single Parent,’ a book dedicated to guiding single parents on their journey to happiness and fulfillment. Her journey in creating Frolo commenced in 2019, and it has since blossomed into a lifeline for tens of thousands of single parents throughout the UK and Ireland. Beyond just an app, it has evolved into a vibrant community, providing a nurturing, encouraging, and secure space for single parents to connect, share their experiences, seek advice, and form lasting bonds.

In this episode, Zoë takes us on an inspiring journey behind the scenes of Frolo’s inception. She candidly shares her own experiences as a single mother and delves into the challenges she faced along the way. Zoë discusses the circumstances that led to her relationship’s end with her son’s father and offers insights into the evolution of her single parenting journey. Furthermore, she highlights the transformative impact that Frolo has had on her life, recounting the incredible friendships she and her son have cultivated within the supportive Frolo community.

If you’re a single mum seeking understanding, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging, this episode is a must-listen. Zoë also sheds light on how you can join the Frolo community, whether it’s to connect with fellow single parents, initiate your own community, or tap into valuable resources and support.

Getting started in the dating world? Join us for an eye-opening episode where we dive deep into the world of love bombing, a psychological manipulation tactic that can leave lasting emotional scars. Love bombing involves showering someone with excessive attention, affection, and gifts in a short period of time to establish control. But beware, this seemingly affectionate behavior often hides much darker intentions.

In this episode, we unravel the signs of love bombing and shed some light on its potential dangers. We’ll explore the psychological impact it can have, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these signs early on. Genuine relationships thrive on mutual trust, respect, and emotional connection, not on manipulation.

In this episode, we explore a topic that resonates with many mothers – “Mum Rage.” “Mum rage” encompasses intense anger, frustration, or irritability felt by mothers due to parenting stresses. It can lead to sudden outbursts or physical aggression, triggered by factors like sleep deprivation, overwhelming responsibilities, and childcare demands. These extreme anger episodes can surprise calm mothers, often sparking guilt and shame. Experiencing mum rage doesn’t equate to bad parenting; it’s a natural response to the pressures of parenting and life’s emotional toll, reminding us of the importance of self-care and understanding.

In this episode, I share some practical strategies to help single mums manage these intense feelings and navigate their parenting journey more harmoniously. By understanding “mum rage,” you can take proactive steps and learn to manage its effects.

This week, we’re diving deep into the topic of building an emergency fund as a single mum. As we all know, life can be unpredictable, and having a reliable safety net is crucial for facing unexpected financial challenges with less stress and more confidence.
