Receive and give support as a single mum this Christmas

Episode 91

Monday, November 15, 2021 • Duration 34:22

Christmas can be a particularly hard time for many single mothers.

We feel pressured to create a picture-perfect Christmas for our kids, complete with stereotypical family and presents galore.

Is it any wonder that we experience more Christmas-fear than Christmas-cheer?

To help lighten the load for struggling single mums, I chat to Major Beth Twivey from The Salvation Army about how we can reach for support during the festive season (and the rest of the year).

Or, if you're in a position to donate, we go full-circle and also discuss the many clever, thoughtful and fun ways give to those in need at Christmas.

In this chat, Major Beth Twivey and I cover:

Why many problems for single mums can feel exacerbated at Christmas

The kind of support The Salvation Army offers at Christmas (and throughout the year) - there is heaps!

Wonderful ways we can give to those in need

How to reach for support through The Salvation Army (which is often the hardest step)

How to block out the madness and enjoy Christmas for the peaceful family time it should be

What to do if the other parent breaches court orders

Episode 90

Monday, October 25, 2021 • Duration 34:10

You've been through hell and high water, but finally you and your ex have got your courts orders approved by the family court in relation to the care of your children after separation. All you need to do now, is follow them. Simple.

Not always.

It is way too common for co-parents to breach carefully planned court orders, which can cause havoc for everyone, including the children involved.

So what should you do if this happens to you?

Enter: Eustacia Yates from Australia’s first non-profit law firm, New Way Lawyers.

Eustacia brings her depth of practical experience and technical knowledge to this chat, where she explains exactly what to do if your ex has breached your family court orders.

In this episode Eustacia and I discuss:

Common scenarios around the breaching of court orders and why they may happen

The importance of getting orders as perfect as possible from the get-go

The right steps to take if the other parent breaches court orders

A bit about contravention applications and proceedings

The consequences of breaching a court order

What to do if you are considering breaching a court order for any reason

Tips to co-parent with a parent who is continually breaching a court orders

Why separating without lawyers is definitely a thing

Episode 89

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 • Duration 01:05:27

It is a myth that you need to hire lawyers to separate and divorce.

You don't.

Property settlement is essentially a financial exercise that a lot of separating couples can work through together with the support of an expert. Which is where Belinda from Divide comes in.

Belinda works with separating couples throughout Australia to help you financially separate and have your orders approved by the family court, without using lawyers. The end result is a more amicable split which will encourage a healthier co-parenting relationship and leave more money for you both to begin your new lives.

Not only this, Belinda is a whizz at tax and super in a financial split so her advice will pay-off now and way into the future. Or, to put it another way, nothing will come back and bite you on bum further down the track.

Sounds good? Find out more in this podcast.

Listen to Belinda and I discuss:

Which kind of cases would or would not require the services of a family lawyer
Options available to separating couples if they don't want to hire lawyers
The benefits of choosing the "no lawyer" pathway (there are heaps!)
The importance of factoring super and tax into a property settlement (and what can happen if you don't)
Ways to keep your separation amicable so you can "make it through" without lawyers

Thursday, September 23, 2021 • Duration 20:49

It's that time of year ladies ... don't delay and confirm your income with Services Australia today!

Why?

Because once you have, Services Australia can get to work and balance your child care subsidy for the financial year.

If you are hesitant for any reason, listen to this podcast with Hank Jongen, General Manager of Services Australia, because he has a great way of explaining the process that makes it all sound super simple.

Whether you don't know where to start, you're concerned about a debt, or you just want to get it right moving forward, you'll get the support you need. And, if you don't, Hank explains where to go for more support - and this is not just the usual channels ...

Hank explains:

What CCS is and how it is paid

What you need to do to have your CCS balanced

What outcomes to expect once your CCS has been balanced

What support is available if you have incurred a debt

4 Simple strategies for a low conflict separation

Episode 87

Monday, September 20, 2021 • Duration 40:43

A low conflict separation might seem like a contradiction in terms but it really is possible for many ex-couples. Maybe not right now, but certainly in time.

The truth is, it only takes one person to counteract conflict with a more effective and peaceful resolution process. If you want to be this person, this podcast will help you move your separation out of the combat zone and into a collaborative, working space.

I chat to Lisanne Iriks, who is an award-winning mediator and coach and the owner of Life Mediation. Having been a mediator for over 12 years, specialising in family mediation, Lisanne is perfectly placed to share her knowledge around this tricky topic.

Even if you think there is no hope for you and your ex, it is likely you will find some of Lisanne suggestions helpful, so listen and learn ladies ...

Lisanne and I discuss a lot of stuff, including:

Why it is so incredibly important to aim for a low-conflict separation
Understanding the stages of grief in separation and how to keep the peace with this knowledge
The importance of interim orders
Communication - responding and not reacting
Where (and where not) to get advice and support, this is so important!
Lisanne's work with Beanstalk offering single mums a free consultation to get that low conflict separation happening

Expert advice to find your single mum style

Episode 86

Thursday, August 26, 2021 • Duration 36:46

Do you, like me, feel that you have lost touch of what your personal style is? Or do you know what you want your style to be but don't have the time to rock it?

Then stay tuned.

I chat to Danielle Johansen from Threadicated, an online and shipped to your door personal fashion styling service. This is a lady who has spent years in the fashion industry understanding trends, body types and style.

Remember, style is not just about the latest trends for the rich and famous. It's about expression, self-care and feeling good about yourself when you strut out your front door every day.

Listen to Danielle and I talk about:

Why it's so damn important to find your style (do not put it at the end of your "to do" list)

Some really simple starter tips that you can do right now ... without even leaving the house

How to make clothes shopping (at the actual shops) enjoyable and successful

Episode 85

Wednesday, August 11, 2021 • Duration 23:16

Lockdowns are becoming part and parcel of daily life here in Australia, but they certainly don't get easier, especially if you are losing work each time.

On this podcast, I chat to Hank Jongen, General Manager of Services Australia, who are doing a heroic job of getting covid disaster payments out to those in need, when they need it.

This factual chat will put you on the right path to get support whether you're in lockdown or isolation, and losing money (or your mind) as a result of it.

Hank explains:

What support is available to people in lockdown across Australia
How eligibility works (hint: it's done by hours not dollars)
How to make a claim for a disaster payment
The estimated wait time for financial assistance
Moving forward, as lockdowns continue, how and when to re-claim
What to do if you are self-employed or a sole trader
How these payment work in terms of tax and income support purposes
More support services available, over and above the disaster payment
