Description

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with Johanna Byrne. Johanna is an absolute inspiration. She is a single mother to 7 children, has just completed a law degree, and was named the 2016 National Indigenous Law (NIL) Student of the Year by the Attorney-General's Department. The award recognises the achievements of Indigenous Australians who improve justice outcomes for the Indigenous community.  We chat about how she went from floristry to law (an incredible story), coping after her husband passed away one year into her law degree and how she managed studying, working, and raising 7 kids on her own.   "You can't change the past, it's the way it is. You need to work out where you want to go and make a plan to get there.” - Johanna Byrne. To buy the book mentioned (Reboot Your Life Phoenix Edition) visit Lovely Silks Publishing.

Becoming a single mum is one of the most daunting and overwhelming life changes someone will ever go through. Whether you are pregnant or have teenagers, you will most likely be confused and struggling with what to do next. I became a single mum in 2013 when my daughter was just a few months old, and it has been a challenging but rewarding journey ever since. This Podcast (and the website www.singlemothersurvivalguide) was created to assist newly single mothers in all things they may need to know about. SO WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOTHER SURVIVAL GUIDE PODCAST ABOUT? A Podcast for single mums, made by a single mum… The Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast includes a mixture of me babbling about single mums business and interviews and discussions with different people and experts about different topics. First off the ranks this includes an interview with a Wills and Estate lawyer which contains everything YOU need to know about getting a Will done, an interview with a financial adviser on everyday money management, savings, spending and so forth, an interview with an online security expert so that YOU know how to keep yourself secure online, an open interview with a domestic violence survivor and advocate, and another interview with a financial adviser on everything to do with insurance, and what you should think about getting insured to ensure the financial safety for you and your kids. Coming up after that I have chats with people including parenting experts, family lawyers, and a life coach. I also chat about the social stigma of being a single mum, single parent travel, everyday tips to make YOUR life easier, dating, personal budgeting, resources out there to help YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN, child support, domestic violence, successful co-parenting, advantages to being a single mum, and the list goes on…
