How to cope with solo parenting when your partner works away
Solo parenting is no joke, and in this honest, heartfelt episode of Reclaiming MUM, I’m sharing what the last two months of parenting four kids on my own during the week have really taught me. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re carrying everything on your own, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. We talk about: ✨ The emotional and mental load of solo parenting ✨ What I’ve learned about resilience, boundaries, and burnout ✨ The practical shifts that have helped me cope day-to-day ✨ Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness ✨ How to soften the pressure and support yourself when your partner works away Whether you’re a full-time solo parent, temporarily doing it alone, or simply navigating long stretches with very little support, this episode offers comfort, practical tools, and permission to lower the bar. If you’ve ever searched terms like “solo parenting tips,” “mum overwhelmed solo parenting,” “coping when partner works away,” or “single mum survival,” this episode is for you. Listen in for real-talk, solidarity, and the strategies that are helping me through this season, one day at a time.
