Losing your beloved brings you face-to-face with the question: Who am I now? In the throes of massive life transition, it can be terrifying to lose our sense of Self alongside deep grief, yet when we cultivate the capacity to pause and get curious about the person within, our true Soul mate, we begin to understand the essence of who we really are - who we’ve always been. From this place, somehow the way forward seems more possible - and perhaps, even enjoyable. We cover a LOT of ground in this week’s episode of the Grief Unveiled podcast! Join me in my exquisite conversation with Tonia Adleta: entrepreneur, international speaker, and single mom on a mission to help us unlearn the shame and fear that impacts the way we live. She shares her evolution from a completely depleted 60 hour work week to seeking the answer to the important question, “What do I want?” You’ll hear about her journey to founding the Single Parent Summit, a space for solidarity in single parenting and a community of single parents dedicated to growth, positivity, and productivity. Tonia most recently founded Recovering Church Girls* (no, it’s not just for girls!), a community committed to cultivating a sense of Self, solidarity and spirituality from a place of total ownership while releasing fear and shame. We tackle the topics of guilt, shame, fear of judgment, the proverbial “should” that dictates so much of our days and a truly deep look at where it all comes from and how we can shift into a life with more freedom to choose - including that which we prefer, want, need and desire! If you’re looking to connect with your intuition and understand the truth of you, don’t miss this episode! Topics we covered: Why “staying busy” isn’t the golden ticket...and why creating boundaries around your time is! The loneliness that accompanies widowhood and single parenthood and how to find your true-blue community. An examination of the limiting beliefs and stories we internalize about our (lack of) worth. The different influences in society that can keep us small and distance us from owning our true desires. The impact of solo travel for self-knowledge and self-awareness.

From the minute I jumped in Tonia Adleta’s energy, I knew this woman was destined for greatness. I also knew she was not a one vibration kind of girl. Her energy was multi-passionate. Tonia’s stardust story of being the twice divorced wedding planner is so powerful it is a must listen. In this episode Tonia shares: How growing up a devout Christian moulded her early life How she built one, then two, then three businesses What being a Recovering Church Girl means to her Who the Single Parent Summit is really about How she nurtured her new spiritual life after the church This episode is so real, so honest, and so powerful.

Are you saying yes to yourself and the things that matter most to you in this life? Or are you saying yes to everything else and putting yourself second, or 3rd, or 4th, or worse? And how exactly are you supposed to know the difference? This conversation with Tonia Adleta is going to provide some very helpful perspective for anyone who has lived so much of their life trying to do everything they really thought they were supposed to do, all the while unknowingly shrinking away from who they really are. Tonia is an international speaker, the founder and host of The Single Parent Summit and the owner of multiple businesses, including an award-winning wedding and event planning and floral design company. She describes herself as a “recovering perfectionist” and single mom to the two most amazing kids ever. Some of the key takeaways from this episode: ~ There's no such thing as work-life balance. There's just life. ~Mindfulness and presence versus looking backward or forward. If you’re always looking back and rehashing old memories of bad things, you’re being a victim. But if you’re looking forward to the next moment you hope to be better than this one, you’re delaying the future. Either way, you’re not being mindful of the present, which is a road to nowhere … ~ The Importance of Awareness – “People that don't get it don't get that they don't get it.” Tonia gives a great account of why this is important if we want to be well and happy. Also listen for her story about being on the floor of the bathroom when she was living in a mobile home. We’ve all had that moment. It’s not just you. **This episode was originally released in July of 2017 under its original name, “The No Schedule Man Podcast.”

Welcome back to another moment to join together with the Solo Parent Community. We’ve had some exciting times in my household with the addition of our new family dog, Marley! Having a new family member has been such a welcome change and a breath of fresh air. It’s a little bit like self-care for me since having Marley around is such a positive experience. We talk all the time on the show about the importance of taking care of yourself, so it is great to find a new way of putting that into practice. My guest this week is Karrie Myers Taylor, and she certainly knows a thing or two about self-care too! I am excited to share this interview with you not just because her healthy tips are superb for busy solo parents, but she was also interviewed for the Single Parent Summit happening this month! Karrie focuses on a holistic approach to health and wellness and really puts the focus on why you are eating the foods you eat. Healthy changes can begin today, and I know you will be inspired to start by what Karrie has to say. Go ahead and give it a listen! Karrie battled with perfectionism and its impact on her mental and physical health. After struggling with her weight, Karrie shares why she used food for a buffer. Quick healthy eating habits that you can use today! The emotional side of eating can be positive. How to detox from sugar and caffeine with easy swaps. Karrie speaks to how she can help with the anxiety associated with changing health habits. Getting the kids to buy into healthy eating. Ongoing support can lead to a breakthrough.

One of the best things about this podcast is that we have such a fabulous community. I am thankful for all the comments and questions, and so this week I wanted to change the pace just a bit and tackle one such questions I’m seeing more and more often: How can I take care of myself while my children are away? Ah, yes. Times of separation from our kids can be painful, uncertain, and difficult to manage. When we spend so much of our time and energy making sure our children are happy, healthy, and cared for, it can be jarring to not have those concerns 24/7. What can we do to take care of ourselves when we have this time? I want to show you in this episode that time away from your kids can be a gift in disguise. I’ll share some of my best ideas, and I hope to hear your self-care ideas in return. Together, we can do this thing! Want even more cools ways to get involved? Sign up for the Solo Parent Newsletter, and find all the information about the Single Parent Summit coming up soon! In this episode: What are we doing for ourselves when our children are away? Understanding and working through the grieving process. Not just dealing with loneliness, but embracing it. Healthy habits you can use to work through childless times. How to handle anxiety when your kids are away. My suggestions for re-filling your bucket. Plan something to look forward to.

Tonia Adleta is an international speaker, the founder and host of the Single Parent Summit and the owner of multiple businesses, including an award-winning wedding and event planning and floral design company. She describes herself as a recovering perfectionist and single mom to the two most amazing kids ever. Tonia and I are kindred spirits in many ways. One of the suggestions or principles that is often suggested that I simply have never been able to accept is the idea of just choosing one thing, picking one lane and staying there for the rest of your life. From a marketing and simplicity perspective, I admit I sometimes wish I were more like that. If I were to choose just one thing and be able to dedicate my whole life to it, I bet I could be world-class in that field. But I'm not wired that way. I'm too curious and too creative. I have things that I am more interested in developing than others, but I can never see myself doing just one thing. Seeing that Tonia feels and lives the same way was a breath of fresh air. And I don't think either one of us is trying to suggest that's what you have to do as well, but especially in this digital age, it seems that we must be multifaceted in our emotional maturity skill set in order to navigate the tricky waters of relationships, friendships, work, health, parenting, recreation and so many other things. So how do we do that? Well, part of the answer is addressed right off the start of the discussion with Tonia and it is one of a number of things that stood out to me from our conversation, including: There's no such thing as work-life balance - There's just life. This was one of my favourite beginnings to any episode of this podcast so far. I thought I'd tossed Tonia a bit of a curveball and was interested to see what she do with it. I was fascinated when she didn't even swing at it. And I absolutely loved the way she answered the question. So rather than saying anything more about it here, I will let you listen to the episode to hear her response. Mindfulness versus looking backward or forward - Tonia gives a terrific account of how you can tell if you are in one of two very common camps of people. The first is to evaluate if you are treating yourself like a victim, as if life always happens to you. This will sound familiar if you find that you are always looking backwards, rehashing things from the past, carrying ill feelings with you, recycling bad memories, and basically being unwilling to let go. The other camp has you looking forward. This one delays the thought of happiness until a certain result can be achieved. Of course, the tragedy is, with this operating system, you can never get the result that you want; you're focused on pleasing everyone but yourself and having to be perfect all the time. It's a road to nowhere. Awareness - This has come up before, it is going to come up again, it is a key part of one of the keynote speeches I deliver, it is central as one of the six key pieces in a speech that Tonia delivers and I am going to continue to highlight this point whenever it comes up for as long as I'm doing this podcast. And the reason why is that most people in my experience are unaware that they are unaware. I include myself in this up until fairly recently. Another way of saying this is, “people that don't get it don't get that they don't get it.” Tonia gives a great account of why this is important so I encourage you to listen for that along with the other of the six points that she delivers part way through our discussion. Also listen for her story about being on the floor of the bathroom when she was living in a mobile home. I point that out because what you are about to hear is a dynamic, creative, successful woman of great character. I think it's really easy to look at somebody for where they are now and then assume they've never had those moments when life has brought them to their knees. If that's something you're going through now, know that it is not just you. It happened to me and it's happened to Tonia. You can get through it if you choose to and Tonia is going to give you some terrific examples of how to do that. ©2017 Kevin Bulmer Enterprises
