Description

In this episode, we explore a topic that resonates with many mothers – "Mum Rage." "Mum rage" encompasses intense anger, frustration, or irritability felt by mothers due to parenting stresses. It can lead to sudden outbursts or physical aggression, triggered by factors like sleep deprivation, overwhelming responsibilities, and childcare demands. These extreme anger episodes can surprise calm mothers, often sparking guilt and shame. Experiencing mum rage doesn't equate to bad parenting; it's a natural response to the pressures of parenting and life's emotional toll, reminding us of the importance of self-care and understanding. In this episode, I share some practical strategies to help single mums manage these intense feelings and navigate their parenting journey more harmoniously. By understanding "mum rage," you can take proactive steps and learn to manage its effects.  Links mentioned in the episode:  Click the retreat link you are interested in - Byron Bay Retreat and Sydney Retreat Click HERE to join the free Facebook Group, The Single Mother Survival Guide Support Forum.  Sign up HERE to receive your free guide on understanding "mum rage" and learn some practical ways to help manage it.  Click HERE to listen to our episode entitled, Asking for Help.  Join the Thrive Tribe waitlist HERE.  Download the E-book – Thirteen single mothers share their struggles, top tips, and their favourite things about being a single mother – HERE.

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…
