Podcasts about single mothers

«Solomutter zu werden war die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens», sagt Gabriela*. Sie bekam ihre Tochter über eine Samenbank im Ausland. Input-Host Anna Kreidler erzählt die Geschichten zweier Frauen und blickt auf die Kritik an diesem Familienmodell: Ist es egoistisch, allein Kinder zu kriegen? «Es kann dann ein Egoprojekt sein, wenn eine Frau einfach beweisen will, dass sie das kann», sagt Kinder- und Jugendpsychologin Sandra Widmer. Wie viele sogenannte «Single Mothers by Choice» es in der Schweiz gibt, ist unklar. Aber die Entscheidung, allein Mutter zu werden, bringt Herausforderungen mit sich: So sind Alleinerziehende in der Schweiz zum Beispiel eher von Armut betroffen als Haushalte mit zwei Elternteilen. Ein Risiko, das Gabriela* in Kauf genommen hat. Warum hat sie diesen Weg gewählt? Davon handelt diese Folge. (*Name geändert) ____________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

We discuss mentorship's role in personal development for young men, particularly regarding challenges from single motherhood and perceptions of authority.

Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

When journalist Cheng Lei was detained by Chinese state security agents, she thought would be freed within the week. Instead, she was held on absurd espionage charges for more than three years, much of that time spent in isolation.When Cheng Lei moved back to the country of her birth after the dramatic opening up of China to the world, she was a part of something exciting and historic.That all changed after Xi Jinping came to power, and Australia's relations with China deteriorated.In this first episode of a two-part series, Lei explains how eventually, she found herself detained on bogus espionage charges, and held for more than three years in a Chinese detention centre.For the first six months of her detention, Lei was isolated and alone except for the rotating female guards who stood over her 24 hours a day.Lei was not allowed to speak to these guards, she was forced to sit on the edge of her bed for 14 hours a day, she had to ask permission to do anything, she was not allowed to close her eyes and intermittently she was taken to a room, tied down in a chair and interrogated about allegedly sharing state secrets with foreigners.Lei learned how to ration books, she practised German vocabulary, wrote scripts in her head and thought of her two children to stay sane under torturous conditions.Further informationCheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is published by HarperCollins.Cheng Lei: My Story is a documentary made by Sky News Australia.

Darryl references an article by Jason Rosario, 'A Son's Advice for Single Mothers,' which offers five tips on raising boys as a single mother. The episode emphasizes the significance of maintaining the unique roles of both parents and seeks to encourage men to find masculine mentors for a balanced upbringing.

76% of single mothers in southeast Louisiana can't afford basic needs. Tommy breaks down the United Way's new ALICE report with president and CEO Michael Williamson.

The desire to share life with a partner doesn't just disappear when we choose to start our families on our own. And it doesn't have to. Today's new episode is a beautiful reminder that both things can be true: you can want motherhood and partnership, and you don't have to give up one to have the other.At 35, Erin Russell was faced with the hard realization that her family line would end with her if she didn't pursue parenthood soon, so she started seriously considering solo motherhood. But right as she was preparing to begin fertility treatments, life threw her a curveball — she met someone.Erin was clear about what she wanted and gave the relationship space to grow. But when it became obvious they weren't aligned on having kids, she made the powerful decision to walk away. She ordered donor sperm the very next day.Becoming a mom didn't erase Erin's hope of sharing life with a partner. Just two months after her son was born, she started dating again — not out of pressure or urgency, but as a way to reconnect with herself, enjoy adult time, and stay open to love.Now that her son is two and she's happily in a relationship that feels like the right fit, Erin reflects on what it's been like to still want partnership as a solo mom by choice, and how she's navigating love, parenting, and a changing sense of identity all at once.In this episode, we talk about:How Erin knew it was time to pursue solo motherhoodThe challenges of navigating IUI, IVF, and insurance hurdlesWhy "just surviving" the newborn stage isn't enough, and how building a support system made all the differenceThe guilt and reality of sending your baby to daycare as a solo momDating as a solo mom: why Erin started early, how she set her own pace, and what she looked for in a partnerHow she's weaving her new relationship into her solo mom lifeAnd why the grief of doing it alone doesn't just disappear once your baby arrivesWhether you're considering solo motherhood, already parenting, or wondering if dating might fit into your life someday, Erin's story is full of honesty, hope, and real-world encouragement for wherever you are on the path.Want to connect with Erin Russell?Follow Erin on InstagramCheck out Erin's writingRead Erin's article on SMBCs (featuring me as an interviewee!)

What does it take to raise boys into men of character, compassion, and courage in today's complex world? In a time when masculinity is often misunderstood or misrepresented, one mother chose to walk the path with fierce love, deep intention, and unwavering hope.   This is a story of a woman who faced tragedy, betrayal, and transformation, yet emerged stronger, more open-hearted, and committed to nurturing greatness in her four sons. From the quiet strength of a scientist to the creative fire of an artist, each son carries a piece of her journey and their own unique story of becoming.   This conversation is not just about parenting—it's about negotiating identity, values, and purpose as a family. It's about how love leads, even when the path isn't clear. It's about raising not just sons—but men the world needs.   In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Lydia Saminiego and her sons, Joshua, Joseph, Wesley, and Thomas. They will discuss deeply personal conversation about Negotiating in Raising Sons to Become the Best Possible Men They Can Be.    Lydia is a true force of nature—author of TO HELL WITH YOU: An Adventure Through Tragedy, Love, Betrayal and Transformation—a woman of unshakable hope who believes that anything can be overcome. She's also a teacher, yoga instructor, energy worker, sound bath practitioner, and life coach, with degrees from both USC and Universidad de Salamanca in Spain. Living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lake Tahoe, she finds joy in nature, healing, and human potential.   Together with her sons—Joseph, a PhD in plasma physics; Joshua, a self-taught software engineer; Wesley, a brew master based in Argentina; and Thomas, an actor, singer, and guitarist in NYC—they'll share what it means to navigate family, values, growth, and the lifelong journey of becoming better men.   In this episode we will learn:   The role of a parent and the role of a leader Raising children as a single mother How to earn the trust of your children The need of a male role model for kids raised by a single mother What it means to be a man Parenting style Feminine energy into parenting The role emotion plays for effective leader and negotiator What is intuition and why does it matter?   Learn more about Lydia:   Website: https://www.lydiasamaniego.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lydia.s.evans.5/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_love_lydia_   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Be encouraged Single Mothers

This Mother's Day, we celebrate a form of motherhood grounded in boldness, agency, and unwavering love, the path of the single mother by choice. In this powerful episode of This is My Silver Lining, Leslie Stone shares how one emotional moment at her niece's Bat Mitzvah triggered a life-changing decision: to stop waiting for the traditional path and choose motherhood on her own terms.Leslie, a former C-suite advertising executive, opens up about what it meant to make peace with uncertainty and go all-in on a path few dare to walk alone. She speaks candidly about the emotional and physical toll of navigating fertility, the surreal process of choosing a sperm donor, and the serendipity of becoming pregnant at 40 against the odds.Leslie reflects on the sacred, joyful, and affirming experience of parenting solo, how she intentionally built an extended community of support for her daughter, and the clarity that comes from living life on your own terms. Her story is a compelling reminder that motherhood is not defined by convention, but by intention, courage, and deep love..Episode Links and ResourcesLeslie StoneSingle Mothers By ChoiceSupport this podcast by subscribing and reviewing.

Send us a textSingle mothers walk a path that's often overlooked but deeply felt. In this episode, we honor the unseen labor, the emotional weight, and the quiet victories of single motherhood. We unpack the psychological truths behind the mask of “strength” and challenge the silent assumptions that surround them. This is not about glorifying pain—it's about recognizing the fullness of their experience: the grief, the pride, the exhaustion, and the grace.This conversation is a mirror for the women doing it all—and a wake-up call for those who've misunderstood them.

A 7th generation descendant of the first African migrants to ever accompany Nova Scotia, a proud African Nova Scotian Queer Visual artist who focuses on the importance of representation of Black and Brown people; Inclusivity and self-embracement. Known for Unapologetically Black and Unapologetically Queer Apparel, photography, graphic and clothing design, film making and painting. Clayton states “Exploring the photograph archives at the Black Loyalist Centre during my art residency May 2022, I was very intrigued by the collection and the style of photography amongst the old photos. I came to the centre with an open mind towards creation and with very few ideas. The twelve portraits displayed in this piece were of the many that spoke and/or stood out to me each day I canvased the albums. Curious about their stories that I may not ever know, their presence and existence should not be forgotten and this is a way to keep them in memoriam.”

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Barbara Meza, Director of Human Resources at Taylor Farms and Taylor Harvesting, to talk about her inspiring journey in agriculture and leadership.Barbara opens up about starting her career at Ocean Mist Farms to help support her family and how that role unexpectedly turned into a lifelong passion—especially after becoming a single mother. She candidly discusses overcoming self-doubt, navigating a male-dominated industry, and the power of programs like the Women Ag Academy in building her confidence and sense of community.Through stories of mentorship, personal growth, and resilience, Barbara shares the pivotal moments that shaped her—like being entrusted with building an HR department and learning to reframe even the most tedious work tasks with deeper purpose. She also opened up about being raised by a strong single mother, facing painful judgment from family, and using that adversity to push herself further. Her mother—who also worked in ag—instilled in her a deep sense of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. It was powerful to hear how those early lessons continue to shape her leadership today.This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth comes from discomfort, confidence is often seen before it's felt, and when women support women, amazing things happen.Barbara Meza: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-meza-phr-87064250/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Barbara Meza, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

This change empowers women to raise children independently, altering traditional family dynamics and mate selection.We discuss socio-economic factors shaping family structures and critique the divisive nature of the 'woke' movement, emphasizing its impact on societal discourse. I also highlight the importance of personal accountability and stability in fostering healthy relationships.

Single parenthood isn't all strength and independence—there's a dark side that rarely gets talked about. From financial struggles to emotional stress and the impact on children, this video breaks down the harsh realities that come with raising kids alone. Is the system failing single parents, or is this lifestyle setting families up for disaster? Let's dive into the truth behind single motherhood and fatherhood.

Simmone Jade McKinnon was - and is, to many - Stevie from McLeods Daughters. She joined that iconic Australian show fresh from another era-defining TV moment, Baywatch, with a Hollywood star fiancé on her arm and a creative career in full flight. And then everything changed. Simmone and her son Madigan have been living in a caravan and then a shed in her family’s back paddock for the best part of a decade. She’s been making ends meet with carer’s subsidy, odd jobs like jillaroo and by starting her own small business. When she decided to step out of a dark time and back in front of a camera for a reality show earlier this year it was very clearly with one goal in mind - the prize money. On this episode, the first MID conversation about money, you'll hear how all that's been going for Simmone. And you’ll hear what it was like to be on one of the biggest shows in the world and get fired for what you refused to do in lingerie on a beach. How she came back from crippling panic attacks during a high-profile break-up to film wedding scenes for our viewing pleasure and, most importantly, how she’s kept moving and dreaming and pushing on as she’s been parenting her son alone on a very minimal income. Simonne is famous but she’s not rich, and we assume those things go together. Her story might not be yours, but there’s plenty of familiar territory here.

Let's lift up single mothers.

From food to child care, costs are up for parents in Minnesota. The affordability of raising a family is especially difficult on a single income. The poverty rate for families led by a single mom in Minnesota is about three times higher than families in general, according to estimates by the U.S. Census.  An organization that started in Minneapolis is working around the country to help single moms get out of poverty. It's called Jeremiah Program and it's hosting a summit in Prior Lake and online March 7-9. Among current and former Jeremiah Program participants who will attend the summit is Lavasha Smith, a graduate of the program. Smith joined MPR News host Nina Moini along with Jeremiah Program CEO, Chastity Lord.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Liver Is Processing Collective Trauma "We're moving from a place as a human species that was so mentalized into feeling our body more. No wonder the liver is under so much strain because it's being asked to do a lot. It's being asked to process our cumulative trauma as a culture, as a society, as well as massive amounts of chemical toxins. The amount of things that people have coming up to be cleansed and purified matches the collective energy on the planet at the same time." - Dr. Kevin Preston Why Detox Is Necessary "There are a lot of toxins in the environment and our bodies are going to have to respond to that in some way. We are built to detox a lot, but when we stress our detox pathways over and over and over again, by overwhelming amounts of toxins coming in, they get fatigued. They need a rest. They need a break. But if we don't give the body a break of incoming toxins, it's not long before those filters get stuck." - Dr. Kevin Preston Combining Different Healing Modalities "Let's get you doing a bit of breathwork. Let's get you seeing a somatic therapist because you're holding so much rage and anger right now. Your liver is like a clenched fist that I could try and soften with some herbs, but you're probably going to have a much greater and faster effect addressing the nervous system. And then let's start processing some of the physical stuff. Let's do some acupuncture, get a massage, or maybe get some lymphatic drainage." - Dr. Kevin Preston Links From Today's Show  Dr. Kevin Preston 597 Dr. Kevin Preston | The Emotional Roots of Disease: How Progressive Chinese Medicine Liberates Stuck Energy + Heals Generational Trauma Atomic Habits by James Clear The Gene Keys by Richard Rudd Consumer Reports urges USDA to remove Lunchables From National School Lunch Program 624 Teal Swan | Ancestral Healing: Multidimensional Genetics, Conscious Parenting + The Impossible Task of Single Mothers 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Zach Bush MD Charles Eisenstein The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT
