New Parent Podcast

"In Australia, 15% of children are raised in single parent households and it's the fastest growing family unit. I've met hundreds of single mums over the last few years, and they're smart, they're beautiful people, they're intelligent, they're independent, they're financially savvy, they are taking care of their lives... and it irritates me that we're put into this [denigrated] category: "Single Mothers." In this episode, fellow podcaster and host of Single Mother Survival Guide, Julia Hasche, tells her story about becoming a single mom when her daughter was two months old, and how that experience fueled her to create a support network for other single moms. She also shares which conversations she wishes she would have had with her partner before they became parents, and how experiencing excessive anxiety about childbirth was a waste of mental energy and something she would aim to change if she had a second child.    * * * Julia's Podcast: The Single Mother Survival Guide Julia's Instagram
