Episode Thriving as a Single Parent
There are many myths about single parent families, and I’m telling you they are not true.
The success, wellbeing and happiness of your child has nothing to do with how many parents they live with. In fact, children with single parents are very high achievers.
But that doesn’t stop you feeling isolated, lonely, even out of your depth, wondering if you’re doing things right, or doing enough, or being as good a parent as everyone else.
Today I’m giving your mojo back. Whether you’re a single parent or not, the practical advice in this episode is valuable to all parents.
So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
