In this episode of The Inadequate Mother, Hayley is joined by confidence coach Claire Elizabeth to unpack the complex and often misunderstood concept of codependency.

Parenting and codependency: The struggle to balance connection with fostering independence in children.

Practical tips for overcoming codependency: Claire shares actionable steps, including boundary-setting, journaling, and tools to build self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Key Takeaways:

Why Inadequate - The theory behind the name and a welcome from me

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

dimanche 5 janvier 2025 • Durée 14:09

In this first episode, I’m sharing why I started The Inadequate Mother. The name isn’t about feeling like I’m not enough – it’s about challenging society’s impossible standards on mothers. This podcast is in honour of my mom, who struggled with feeling inadequate and lost her life to alcohol addiction.

I want this to be a space where we unpack those feelings of not measuring up and find comfort, growth, and maybe even a little laughter. It’s for anyone who feels like they’re getting it wrong – parents, caregivers, or anyone just trying their best. We’ll talk about parenting, self-discovery, and building confidence in who we are by understanding the world around us – not who we think we should be.

I’m also on a journey to make this podcast more accessible, including to the sign language community. So, let’s explore this together.

Solo, Co- or Single Parent? The labels that shape you're motherhood and p*** others off

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

lundi 13 janvier 2025 • Durée 19:27

In this episode of The Inadequate Mother, Hayley dives into the topic of parenting labels and the mixed emotions they can bring. Whether you identify as a single mum, solo parent, or co-parent, the terminology we use often sparks debate, and Hayley explores why.

Drawing on her 11 years as a single mum, Hayley shares her experiences of navigating life with that label and why she's questioning it now that she’s in a supportive relationship. This episode looks at:

What these labels mean: Why terms like "single mum" can be a source of tension and how they’re shaped by individual circumstances.
Generational shifts: How definitions and expectations of parenting roles have evolved—and why it’s okay if they mean different things to different people.
The unseen load: Inspired by Paloma Faith’s reflections, Hayley discusses the mental and emotional weight that often falls on mums, even in co-parenting arrangements.
A new chapter: Hayley opens up about adjusting to life with a partner who’s fully invested in her and her family—and how it’s changed her perspective.

This episode isn’t about choosing the “right” term—it’s about understanding your own journey and giving yourself the space to embrace it.

Join the Conversation:How do you define your parenting role? Hayley would love to hear your thoughts—connect with her on Instagram to share your story.
