5 Lessons from 100 Episodes of Single Parent Reset

In this episode of Single Parent Reset, I'm celebrating the 100th episode of the podcast! I honestly can't believe I've made it to 100 episodes, and it's been such a brilliant experience hearing so many different stories and experiences of single parenthood. To mark the occasion, I'm reflecting on the themes that keep coming up in solo episodes and my conversations with guests and sharing five lessons I've taken away from the past 100 episodes. We talk about accepting where you are, becoming more aware of the stories you're telling yourself, and giving yourself permission to look after yourself. I also talk about the importance of connection, asking for help and remembering that there are so many positive things about being a single parent, even when things feel hard. My hope is that these reminders help you feel a little less alone, give you something to think about and help you see the things you can do to make life feel that bit easier. **Connect With Orla Donoghue:** Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/solascoaching/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.solascoaching.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: orla@solascoaching.com *The Power of Acceptance for Single Parents* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0CTIj14j5HP7tdHKHu2Tfj?si=zWdRllqUQVO0gLZXJe1EDwApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-power-of-acceptance-for-single-parents/id1776848476?i=1000702457102 *Letting Go of the Life You Planned: Moving Forward as a Single Parent* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rJujEmI9ZleVQOg3B1yIF?si=45AYtAgVSx6qWIcm9fXdCwApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/letting-go-of-the-life-you-planned-moving-forward/id1776848476?i=1000695447874 *Getting to Know Your Inner Critic as a Single Parent* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gANJLkbjQkdIu6HG9iAaT?si=OYdYLQlnSkmOV7h\_nxnIiwApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/getting-to-know-your-inner-critic-as-a-single-parent/id1776848476?i=1000709861564 *Being a Single Parent Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6sUqRzM2vRN0J6rvH9bW9M?si=VxYtooHOQSq5cAOImZbN2g Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/being-a-single-parent-doesnt-mean-youve-failed/id1776848476?i=1000717129780 *Overcoming Negative Self-Talk as a Single Parent* Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/7wdwqKkCjwcyPW5JcfsTRW?si=ubd\_ErafTMm529SdCX7OAQApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/overcoming-negative-self-talk-as-a-single-parent/id1776848476?i=1000761039197 *Make Self-Care Work for You as a Single Parent*Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1uWxrS9AqF5GSFKGPG6YU3?si=yEmNEYD6T6CduA5aGRspug Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/make-self-care-work-for-you-as-a-single-parent/id1776848476?i=1000679712820 *Single Parent Loneliness: You’re Not Alone* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5rBABt9Evg6TIkto1g9tnw?si=IGOGcnPUQrKakskl3ggAow Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/single-parent-loneliness-youre-not-alone/id1776848476?i=1000678124642 *Why Rest Feels So Hard as a Single Parent* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IBrqgLfXI4G3KjsaeL1tC?si=gmHzAr1wT0SqV3WGUgCrtQ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/why-rest-feels-so-hard-as-a-single-parent/id1776848476?i=1000774648055 *Asking for Help: A 3 Step Guide for Single Parents* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0iWj5XQWmbmruTEU5AmtvO?si=r67RTZkNQTilgLz\_KRQYIg Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/asking-for-help-a-3-step-guide-for-single-parents/id1776848476?i=1000677286141 *Unlocking Your Freedom: The Hidden Perks of Single Parenthood* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7CnLR0XjapouZNAeGQUtv4?si=pb8b-GGES3KkjyDRRT68zA Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unlocking-your-freedom-the-hidden-perks-of/id1776848476?i=1000698543117
