Listen "Finding Balance and Order When Support is Limited"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textEver feel like you're drowning in responsibilities with no one to throw you a lifeline? You're not alone. Today we're tackling one of the most requested topics from our community: how to create order and balance when you're parenting without adequate support.Whether you're a single parent, have a partner who works away or simply lack the village that we all need, this episode offers practical strategies that have helped countless parents in similar situations. I share three key approaches that can transform your experience: ruthless simplification (where we examine what needs to happen versus what you can let go), the three-priority framework that ensures meaningful progress without overwhelming you and perhaps most crucially, how to incorporate non-negotiable self-care when it seems impossible.What makes this episode unique is the recognition that when you're parenting without support, you're often unconsciously holding yourself to the standards of a two-person household. We explore how adjusting expectations and implementing strategic systems can create breathing room in even the most demanding circumstances. From cooking strategies that minimise daily effort to creating moments of restoration that keep you functioning, these approaches acknowledge both the practical and emotional challenges of going it alone.Ready to move from surviving to thriving? These strategies have helped many parents regain a sense of control and find joy amid the challenges. Your wellbeing matters enormously, not just for you, but for those who depend on you.
