Description

Annabelle Wilson met her husband when she was 19 years old. He had already been diagnosed with brain cancer and had been given 18 months to live. He was 22 years old. They ended up sharing ten beautiful years together. They got married and then Annabelle fell pregnant. When she was seven months pregnant, her loving husband, Josh, lost his battle with cancer. Annabelle gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Primrose, a couple of months later on Josh's birthday. In this episode, Annabelle shares her story.   She also talks about: how she keeps Josh's memory alive for her now, almost 3-year-old, daughter, how they managed to not let the cancer prognosis affect what they did with their lives, the confusing time between Josh's death and the two months leading up to their daughter's birth, how she managed grief and becoming a new mum at the same time, what dating has been like since then, having a new partner and how that has been plus the associated guilt, her work with the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, her advice for other women going through the same thing, and so much more. Annabelle is such an inspiration. She has an incredibly positive attitude and mindset and I'm so happy to have her on the show.

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…
