Jen OffordHOST
So I got on the Zoom to chat to Dr. Siggy about the concept of over-parenting, why it can be damaging to our kids and why owning our own shit helps us to be better parents.
Jen OffordHOST
Now, as ever, there's more for you if you're a £5 or above Patreon subscriber, including Dr. Siggy's thoughts on the intensity of single parenting and why we should all be in therapy.
Jen OffordHOST
So if you'd like to hear more about that, stay tuned to the end to find out how.
Jen OffordHOST
Now, I make absolutely no secret of the fact that I love Dr. Siggy's work and I hope that you find her as excellent, interesting and indeed comforting as I do.
AnthonyHOST
What do we think about that?
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[upbeat music] Something I've really been thinking about lately, dating as a single mom in her 30s, is how much my perspective has changed on what I am looking for in a future partner.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the biggest one is I am looking for a father for my son.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I am, 100%.

AnthonyHOST
But I think to her context, her context is, I don't think her, her baby dad or the, the kids' dad is around whatsoever.
AnthonyHOST
No co-parenting going on.
AnthonyHOST
She's just a 100% single mom, so she's saying, "Hey, you don't even have to worry about the dad being in the picture 'cause he's gone.
AnthonyHOST
He's wherever.
Jessica BuchananHOST
She is, uh, actually been a client of mine.
Jessica BuchananHOST
She writes very candidly in our first Deserts to Mountaintops, um, uh, anthology series about the, you know, the demise basically of her, her relationship with her husband, and finding herself in single motherhood with four children, and being in a space of economic, um, really desperation and, and what she did to reinvent herself and rebuild, and that is where she's at now, the story of redemption that she's gonna share with us in this episode.
Jessica BuchananHOST
So I hope that you'll find, um, inspiration from her tenacity just as much as I have.
Jessica BuchananHOST
Uh, without further ado, welcome Gabby.
Greg AdamsHOST

Greg AdamsHOST
Yeah, they want a retirement plan.

18 MINS LATER
MarisaHOST
yeah and if anyone has any tips on you know teenagers or you know whether to hit back or not yeah send them in
AuriolHOST
yeah We're open to it all.
AuriolHOST
Here's one little solution that I found out actually yesterday because I've had a sick child at home, single parenting, had to get my older child to rugby training.
AuriolHOST
It was late, like 6.15 to 7.30 in the evening, needed to get my seven-year-old into bed, like needed to get him better.
Libby BrodieGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I hope so.
Libby BrodieGUEST
That is, I think, always the concern when you're sort of juggling that single parenting role of what they're not maybe getting from the other side of it.
Libby BrodieGUEST
That said, I don't think for a moment you should stick around for someone who is probably not the best role model for that relationship you would want anyway.
Libby BrodieGUEST
Yeah,
CrystalAUDIENCE
Um, so I was a stay-at-home mom.
CrystalAUDIENCE
Uh, but last year I became a single mom of two, and my youngest, he- neither of my kids are in school yet.
CrystalAUDIENCE
Um, I found a part-time job, but I also started a business, but it is not yet paying me, and I lost my job.
CrystalAUDIENCE
So now I'm out of money, and I'm out of credit, and I don't, I, I mean, I don't even want debt, but I don't know what to do.
CrystalAUDIENCE
Yes.
CrystalAUDIENCE
A lot.
George KamelHOST
How long have you been a single mom?
CrystalAUDIENCE
A year.
Shane HewittHOST
I'm I'm a dad.
Shane HewittHOST
Anybody who takes on – I was divorced, so I spent the last 13 years of my kids' teenage years really as a single parent.
Shane HewittHOST
And anybody who takes that on, on purpose, on their own, is an unbelievable superhero as far as I'm concerned because that is crazy talk.
Shane HewittHOST
I have a couple of friends that have done it.
Shane HewittHOST
It must be different though.
Ashley GuttmanGUEST
It is, and one of the sort of misconceptions is that just because you're a single parent by choice, that means you're doing it on your own.
Ashley GuttmanGUEST
In fact, what I see is the opposite.
Ashley GuttmanGUEST
Single parents by choice are remarkably intentional about building their village.
SanaHOST
And it is, I believe, you know, it's one of the, I think it's one of the most exciting kind of, you know, character building journey a person can have.
SanaHOST
But then on top of that, building one as a single mom, that's a different kind of, you know, hard one that really makes it into the pitch deck.
SanaHOST
I'm very sure listeners, you are intrigued, excited.
SanaHOST
But before we get into the main discussion and I introduce my guest to all of you, welcome back everyone to BizBlend.
