Single Mother Survival Guide – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If Christmas feels heavy this year, this episode is for you. Whether you're grieving a breakup, navigating your first holiday without your kids, mourning a loved one, processing a miscarriage, or simply feeling an ache you can't explain, know that you're not alone. The festive season can magnify both joy and pain, and it's okay if yours feels more tender than merry. I share my own experiences with loss and the reminder that grief and celebration can exist side by side—you can laugh with your children and cry in private, decorate the tree and miss the person who used to be there. This is your space to breathe, feel, and remember that however you show up this season, you're doing enough.

This week, I'm joined by Chrissy, a resilient single mum of two from Australia. In this episode, Chrissy gets real about her journey through heartbreak, healing, and hope. She opens up about:

• Meeting her ex-partner and how things began
• Losing herself in the relationship, especially after a traumatic birth and the impact of her ex's behaviour
• Navigating postnatal depression, ADHD, and the unique challenges of having her second baby during Covid, feeling completely trapped
• The brave decision to separate, the realities of co-parenting, and what it took to start again
• Why supportive community, and knowing you're not alone, makes all the difference
• Her inspiring perspective on designing the life you truly want, even after the storm

Being a single mum presents a diverse range of emotions, from joys to challenges. However, the pursuit of emotional well-being can sometimes lead us into the trap of toxic positivity.

What exactly is toxic positivity, and how does it manifest in the lives of single mums? While positivity is a valuable trait, it's crucial for single mums to recognise and embrace the entirety of their emotions and experiences, acknowledging that life is a multifaceted journey.

Join me as we navigate the concept of toxic positivity - what it is, why it doesn't always work, and when it doesn't help - and explore strategies to balance positivity with embracing authenticity and acknowledging genuine emotions, ensuring a healthy emotional landscape for single mums.
