There are a lot of books on parenting, but very few about what happens when you suddenly find yourself doing it on your own. This was the experience of Australian author and podcaster Rachel Maksimovic. She became a solo mum when she was just 20 weeks' pregnant - and among the financial and career challenges it brought - there were a host of other, unexpected things. That prompted her to start her podcast called Mothering on My Own. It's now morphed into a book of the same name, in which 30 women who have found themselves parenting on their own share their stories. Rachel says society still judges single mums negatively - and fails to recognise the fullness of their lives.

This week Ang is joined by the wonderful Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers. A licensed sex and gender feminist physiotherapist, author, researcher and professor whose expertise covers sex therapy, spiritual intimacy, parenting and social justice. In this expansive interview with Ang, Tina shares her valuable insights on the importance of creating strong bonds with your children. Sometimes that will be through difficult conversations and sometimes through your actions. However, being open and honest, as Tina explains, is a pathway to a wonderfully rewarding parent and child relationship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tina has a wealth of experience and her services cover a broad range of subjects. But she didn’t just arrive there overnight. She explains to Ang how her early career as a therapist brought up more questions than answers and how that set her on a quest for knowledge. One of the big areas Tina tackles in her work is sex therapy. She explains to Ang how our attitudes about sex are developed from a very early age, and without knowing, embed behaviours in us so deeply we don’t even know they exist. Forming a bond of trust with your child is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Ang and Tina discuss their individual experiences of having difficult conversations with their children and how this led to a stronger relationship with them in the long term. As Ang has highlighted many times in the past, being a single parent is one of the hardest jobs you can have. Drawing on her wealth of knowledge and years of experience, Tina gives her advice on how to approach this role. BEST MOMENTS “You don’t need to figure everything out, you just need to be two years ahead of your kids.” “Be brave enough to look at your past and then you can begin to heal your present.” “When you open up to your children you are communicating with them that you are brave enough to talk about hard subjects with them.” GUEST LINKS @DrTinaShameless Facebook TinaSSellers drtinaschermesellers www.TinaSchermerSellers.com EPISODE LINKS Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

This week Ang is joined by Amanda Bell who started her career as a divorce lawyer before founding ‘SeparateSpace’, an online, affordable divorce platform, that Amanda co-founded after realising that the majority of people that need legal support during a divorce simply can’t afford to access it. In this interview with Ang, Amanda breaks down what the major hurdles people going through a divorce face, some of the common mistakes that can prove extremely costly, what is missing from traditional legal support and how Separate Spaces solve all these problems so that you can access the support you need without breaking the bank. KEY TAKEAWAYS Amanda explains how the idea of ‘SeparateSpace’ was born, why she believes it is needed and the gap that it fills for those not able to access comprehensive legal support. Divorce proceedings don’t follow a ‘one size fits all template’. Amanda explains how SeparateSpace accounts for this by providing scripts, tips and suggestions based on your individual needs. A lawyer will focus purely on the legality of the divorce proceedings but sometimes you need help with the little things that will crop up. Amanda discusses how she realised there was a need for this support and how she built it into SeparateSpace. There are a lot of common mistakes that people make when going through divorce proceedings, most of which can be avoided. Amanda shares her top tips on how to avoid these. BEST MOMENTS “Divorce impacts every aspect of a person's life. Including their mental and physical health.” “Divorce is about how you communicate, don’t let it break down, that’s when it becomes expensive.” “Legal procedures, and even laws themselves, change over time. Make sure you are receiving the most up to date information.” GUEST LINKS www.separatespace.co.uk On Instagram: @separatespace linkedin.com/in/amandabell-separatespace EPISODE LINKS Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

With the school holidays approaching fast, Ang is taking a deep dive into the topic of taking your kids on holiday as a single parent. Taking your kids on holiday after a divorce can be a daunting task. Not only do you have to organise everything by yourself, you have to be the one who makes it all run smoothly too. But, it is also essential to show your kids that life goes on after divorce, and that things like holidays are part of the new normal. KEY TAKEAWAYS After Ang’s divorce, she was determined that her kids would not miss out on their annual holiday abroad. She talks about the first time she and the boys went on holiday, the worries she had prior, but the reward that came with it. But what is it about holidays with your children as a single parent that makes them feel so special? Ang gives her theory on why these vacations stand out above others. Ang shares her top tips on how to make the holiday special for both you and your children, such as creating your traditions. If you think you are not ready to take your children away by yourself, fear not, Ang has some tips and tricks to help you have a stress-free solo holiday. BEST MOMENTS “Stepping into your power is the most important thing you can do to face the challenges that lie ahead after a divorce.” “Life continues after divorce. If you can show your children this, it will be a powerful lesson for them.” “Involve your children in the planning. If they feel engaged they will become more excited.” EPISODE LINKS Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

This week, Ang is joined by Diane Schroeder, life coach, TED talker and host of ’The Fire Inside Her’ podcast. Diane’s mission is to help growth focused humans create a plan to navigate life transitions. But, the story of how Diane arrived at this mission is fascinating. In this interview with Ang, she recounts how a career in the fire service, a traumatic divorce and fixing up a new house all lead her to fix herself and, in turn, give her the power and confidence to help others fix themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS Diane chose not to go to college in order to stay home and care for her sick grandmother, which led her to get a job locally, as a firefighter. However, as she explains to Ang, after 25 years she took the brave move to leave that career behind and pursue her dreams Prior to leaving her job, Diane went through a traumatic divorce, which led her to being a single, working parent. She relays to Ang how she managed to pull herself back from a dark place that she never thought she would escape from. Diane has been using ‘Talking Parents’, the app that sponsors Ang’s show, for over 10 years. She discusses with Ang how the app has been vital to maintaining a healthy parenting relationship with her ex partner over the last decade. Not only did Diane find a new career, but she also found new love. She explains to Ang how the process of self healing and acceptance led her to find a new, healthy, relationship. BEST MOMENTS “Our children don’t need us to save them, they need to watch us save ourselves.” “You are good enough. You can do it on your own. Once you realise that, it will help you to change.” “You might not agree with your ex on everything, but when you both learn to put your children first, everything will be better.” EPISODE LINKS The Fire Inside Her Website The Fire Inside Her Instagram Diane Email Diane Linkedin Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

Today we discuss reframing forgiveness as acceptance and how this can become a key step in your healing journey. For many single mums who have gone through separation or divorce, forgiveness can feel impossible or overwhelming. It can feel like you're letting the person who hurt you off the hook. But what if we changed the perspective? What if, instead of focusing on forgiveness, we thought about acceptance? Shifting towards acceptance can create a space for healing without the pressure of making peace with a past that no longer serves you. In this episode, we discuss how acceptance can be a powerful tool in gaining emotional freedom, and how to get there!
