Podcasts about solo parenting

About Me (from Kandis) I love a lot of things. I LOVE Jesus. I love my family, including my church family at Collegeside, where I also enjoy working. I love my 5 children immensely. I HATE being a widow, but I love seeing God's goodness and care for me as a widow. Oh, and I love the Green Bay Packers and 7Brew. About the Episode In this heartfelt conversation, Becky Davidson and Kandis Moss share their experiences of navigating life as widows, reflecting on the profound impact of loss, the challenges of solo parenting, and the emotional weight of anniversaries. They discuss the importance of family support, the concept of 'widow fog', and the ongoing journey of raising children without their fathers. Through their candid dialogue, they explore the complexities of grief, the necessity of open communication, and the resilience required to move forward in life after loss. The conversation highlights the significance of connection, support, and finding joy amidst loss. Related Links By the Brook  

Modern Widows Club® The Movement for Widow Care (MWC) Founder Carolyn Moor interviews the MWC Parenting Club Facilitator Michelle Walker and discusses the mission of this virtual resource for parentally bereaved families.  The mission of the MWC Parenting Support Club is simple: to support you as awidowed parent so you can take the best possible care of your grieving children. We share information and resources that address the following areas, all of which have been identified by research as important, positive influences on grieving families: +Understanding & Supporting Children's Grief +Strengthening Family Bonds & Communication  +Parent Self-Care: Its Importance & Its Many Forms +Effective Positive or Authoratative Discipline Tactics Michelle's Story: Michelle received the devastating news that her husband of 11 years, Mike, had been killed by a reckless driver. She was 40 years old, left to raise their heartbroken 7 and 9 year old daughters, who adored their tall, funny daddy. With the love of family and friends, she navigated the lengthy process of rebuilding her family life while also supporting her children's grief and processing her own. Once her children were grown, she wanted to "pay it forward" by supporting other families who had suffered the death of a parent. To complement her 18+ years as a widowed parent, she obtained a Master of Science in Family & Human Development from Arizona State University. Through research during this program, she discovered Modern Widows Club® and knew she had found just the place to support all widows, including those with children. She is grateful for the opportunity to serve and encourage all widowed parents in her role as MWC Parenting Support Club Facilitator since 2024.

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.

In the thirty-sixth episode of The Motherwhelm, I am joined by Jess, a mum of 3 who shares with real honesty about the emotional journey of her marriage breakdown and what it taught her about identity and resilience; The often-overlooked challenge of rediscovering yourself after becoming a mother, and how reconnecting with your interests, no matter your age or life stage, can be a powerful path back to yourself.This is a conversation about letting go, starting over, and finding freedom in self-discovery. Jess's openness is not only comforting but incredibly empowering.

Abby WambachI'm surprised I've not talked about this topic on my own (as opposed to with guests) before now but it felt good to speak on this topic as so many parents can feel alone — whether they are in a relationship or not — and it's high time I spoke about the reality that many people like myself experience.In this episode I wish to share my solidarity for solo parents.

In this week's episode - “The Three Phases of Solo Parenting” - we are honoring single parents as we lead up to National Single Parent Day.   In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 516, designating March 21st as National Single Parent Day. The proclamation recognized the courage and dedication of single parents. Only those who have been on this often-lonely and overwhelming path know just how challenging it is to be a single parent.    We are all at different stages in our solo parent journey—some of us are just beginning, and some of us are decades past that point. We wanted to create something to help you figure out where you are in your journey. That's why we're introducing the Three Phases of Solo Parenting that you can download below—a framework shaped by the stories of thousands of single parents we've walked alongside.    To bring these phases to life, we have the honor of interviewing three solo parents, each sharing their unique story and representing one of these stages.   Triage Recovery Wellness   LINK TO SHOWNOTES For all the detailed show notes, tips and links click - https://soloparent.org/show-notes-blog   What stage of Solo Parenting are you in?

Today's episode is one that many of you asked us for – what does it take to have a child on your own? Whether you're sure you want kids, still trying to decide, or want to be child-free, this week's guest has many life lessons that can help you figure out, or reaffirm, what's right for you. Alexandra Collier was 37 and living in Brooklyn with the man she loved when she woke up to a ravenous hunger to have a baby that unfortunately her younger partner didn't share. What happened next is an extraordinary story of courage, hope, and what it means to start a family on your own terms. Alexandra's memoir Inconceivable: Heartbreak, Bad Dates and Finding Solo Motherhood is a moving account of that journey, and she shares with Jill the logistics, emotional complexity, financial implications and judgement she faced when she chose to become a single parent. But she also speaks of the joy and empowerment she's found in following her own path, and what life looks like for her now with a five-year-old. Alexandra is an award-winning Melbourne writer who has written for theatre, screen and print.

Welcome back, Product Bosses! Today, I'm getting real about the challenges of blending life and business—because let's be honest, balance is a myth. As women juggling so many responsibilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, especially during high-stress moments. I'm sharing my personal experience with anxiety and panic attacks, including how I've managed them during crises like wildfires, and the tools that help me stay grounded.Instead of trying to do it all, I've learned that small shifts make a big difference. Movement helps ease panic, focusing on one task at a time reduces overwhelm, and having a plan—both for life and business—creates a sense of control. Most importantly, self-compassion and reaching out for support can change everything. You don't have to navigate this alone.If you're feeling stretched too thin, I want you to know—you are doing an amazing job. Remember…sometimes, the best thing you can do is pause, reassess, and focus on what truly matters. Tune in for an honest conversation on resilience, mindset shifts, and practical ways to move forward with confidence.Resources:Think creating more products means more growth for your product business? The truth is…you only need ONE best selling product to have a successful business. If you don't know what that best selling product is, you're unsure where to focus your energy or you're looking for a clear strategy to scale your business.

Segment 1: • Playing God? Scientists are creating human eggs and sperm in a lab—what are the moral boundaries? • IVF vs. IVG: IVF can be done morally, but IVG (lab-created reproductive cells) is pushing dangerous limits. • Solo Parenting? The idea of procreating with yourself raises massive ethical and biblical concerns. Segment 2: • Scriptural Proof: Matthew 19, Mark 7, and Revelation 2:14 & 2:20 all affirm God's design for marriage and sexuality. • Bearing Fruit: God calls His people to bear spiritual and physical fruit—how does this apply to today's cultural debates? • Living in Righteousness: If we are clothed in Christ, we should joyfully align our lives with His commands. Segment 3: • Self-Focused Worship: Growth happens when churches appeal to personal experience and emotion—should we be cautious? • Are We Missing Something? Pentecostals emphasize spiritual gifts, prayer, and supernatural intervention—what's biblical and what's excess? • Key Factors: Young people seek more than doctrine, they desire experience. Intense corporate prayer and belief in miracles drive engagement. Segment 4: • Are We Presenting Christianity Correctly? In reaction to charismatic abuses, have we gone too far in the other direction? • Felt Needs Matter: Ignoring people's struggles in the name of sound doctrine can push them away. • Finding Balance: Jesus met people where they were but never compromised truth—how should we follow His example? ___ Thanks for listening!

This episode makes me so happy & proud! My beautiful friend Emma Ceolin is in the studio with me reflecting on the past year, and just how far we've both come.    We both went through huge life transitions around the same time and it's so beautiful to come together now and be able to talk about the journey & now be at the light on the other side.  Both being solo mumma's we get very vulnerable with the struggles & hurdles but the overall censuses is that: We now see why we had to go through it all & all the hard decisions were so worth it!   This is the chat I wish I heard when I was at my crossroads to give me hope that it all ends up working out for the best & to have faith & trust the journey.   Sending lots of love to anyone who is going through a tough time at the moment - hopefully this episode reminds you of just how strong, resilient & capable you really are!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Yes, it's Matt writing this). Ash is at his wits ends due to the fact that his kids refuse to eat the absolute garbage he cooks them (look at our socials for visual evidence). Gordon Ramsey would have an aneurysm if he saw what gets served in the Wicks household. Oscar also won an award at footy so our sponsorship of their team is already paying off. Plus, we tackle your questions! Is it ok to duck out for a second with your kid asleep? Does your kids ask 'why' all the time and how do you stop it? Make sure you share your best Petty Couples stories with us

In this episode, we're diving into how Christian women can support their husbands during busy seasons and navigate the challenges of solo parenting. Join us as we explore how to navigate busy seasons with grace and maintain strong family connections! Supporting Your Husband: Understanding & Empathy: Recognize the stress your husband is under. Open communication is key—check in regularly and share your feelings and needs too! Remember, both of you are tired, and it's essential to support each other. Creating a Peaceful Home: Maintain a calm and organized household. Small acts like preparing meals or handling chores can make a big difference. Find ways to help him relax and unwind. Prayer & Spiritual Encouragement: Pray for your husband and share encouraging scriptures. Be a spiritual partner and support him in his faith during tough times. Encouragement & Affirmation: Regularly affirm and appreciate his efforts. Celebrate small victories together and build him up with encouraging words and actions. Solo Parenting Tips: Flexibility & Routine: Balance structure and flexibility in daily routines. Establish consistent bedtimes, meal times, and activities. Seeking Help: Build a support network of family, friends, and your church community. Don't hesitate to ask for and accept help when you need it! Self-Care & Stress Management: Prioritize self-care to stay healthy. Use techniques like exercise, meditation, and quiet time with God to manage stress. Find joy and relaxation in small moments. Staying Connected with Your Husband: Keep in touch through video calls, texts, or shared calendars. Plan for quality time together whenever possible. Keeping Kids Engaged: Explain to your kids why dad is busy or away in an age-appropriate way. Keep them occupied with fun and educational activities to ensure they feel loved and secure.

When her teenage daughter tried to speak one day, she had no voice and it lasted for almost a year, with trauma-induced mutism. Can you imagine what that would be like to live with, as a parent?   When I met Rebecca I felt a connection, perhaps it was her smile or shared passions or rising above adversity after divorce or both having daughters. Perhaps is was a combination of all of it. One thing really stood out.   Rebecca's courage to speak openly and authentically about the adversity that crossed her path in life, how she dealt with it and found the silver linings and is now, a master communicator.   This shines through in the work Rebecca does, the way she speaks and shows up in the world and of course as a guest on this Podcast.   We talk about morning rituals, music and the art of communication which, combined build connection. And we need more of that in this crazy busy world we live in.   Rebecca is a dynamic speaker (as you'll hear), coach, facilitator, and mentor. She is the founder of Untitled & Co, helping leaders make a purposeful impact, and co-founder of ShiftQ, a brand dedicated to helping people thrive.   In 2021, Rebecca transformed her life amidst the challenges of COVID. She ended her marriage, left her corporate career, started her own business, and moved interstate with her two children. This brave journey marked her shift from surviving to thriving.   With over 30 years of experience in marketing and business development, Rebecca has worked with various brands and combines her expertise in communications and emotional intelligence. Her personal story of overcoming adversity, including corporate burnout and domestic abuse, enriches her professional journey.   Rebecca is a solo mom, passionate advocate for women, and known for her problem-solving skills and strategic approach. Join us as we explore her inspiring journey of resilience and leadership.   Get connected to Rebecca   https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccabeardsley-coach/   Website: www.untitledandco.com.au   Find Amanda: amandaewin.com Amanda Ewin Instagram Amanda Ewin Linked In Amanda Ewin Facebook Send me a message on Socials or at amanda@amandaewin.com Please leave a review on iTunes, to help this Podcast reach more amazing humans like you.

One of the FAQs I receive weekly in DMs is: “How do you handle solo-parenting when your husband is gone?” And while I know that everyone's solo-parenting circumstances are different, there are some core principles that can help shift your mindset from “woe is me!” (been there) to “I've got this” (in Christ's strength). Is so important to actively look for ways to thrive rather than simply survive!  I share some of the things that have helped me most in this episode, and I'll talk more about ways the Lord has grown my maturity + resourcefulness in this area in part 2.
