    Growth Mindset with Becca from Noisy Book Club

    In this week’s guest episode, Becca from Noisy Book Club explores how understanding a growth mindset in parenting can completely transform the way we show up for not just our children but also ourselves, especially as single parents. Drawing on her experience as a teacher and working closely with families, she breaks down the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, and how many of us were unintentionally shaped by limiting beliefs about parenting, capability, and success. This conversation is especially relevant for single parents navigating the emotional and practical load of raising children alone or co-parenting, and looking for more self-compassion along the way. Listen in to learn how to spot your own fixed mindset patterns and gently shift them, plus simple, realistic tools to reframe self-talk and bring more confidence and calm into everyday parenting. Becca shares practical strategies to help children build resilience, emotional regulation, and a genuine love of learning while also supporting parents to feel less stuck, less overwhelmed, and more grounded. This episode is for single parents and co-parents who sometimes feel like they’re getting it “wrong,” and want a a more compassionate way. The Book we refer to in this Episode is 'Mindset: The New Psychology of Success' by Carol S.

    When It All Feels Too Much as a Single Parent

    In this episode, we talk about what it really feels like when everything becomes too much as a single parent, those hidden moments behind closed doors where overwhelm, exhaustion, and self-doubt can all hit at once. From the outside, it can look like you’re holding it all together, but inside it can feel very different. We explore why these moments happen, what’s often driving them underneath the surface, and why so many single parents experience this cycle of pressure, guilt, and emotional overload without speaking about it. This is for you if you’ve ever felt like you’re barely keeping your head above water, snapping, shutting down, or struggling to cope and then wondering how to move through it. We look at simple, practical ways to pause, understand what’s really going on, and take small steps to regain perspective and support yourself. If you’re a single parent who often feels like you have to cope alone, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not, and to help you navigate those moments with more ease and self-compassion.

    Single Parent Homes Are Not “Broken Homes”

    In this episode, we challenge the outdated idea of the “broken home” and explore how this narrative can quietly shape the way single parents see themselves and their family. We walk through the different stages of acceptance, uncover the beliefs that may be holding you back, and begin to reframe what family really means on your terms, not society’s. This episode is for single parents who want to move beyond guilt, comparison, or feeling “less than,” and step into a place of confidence and pride in their family setup. If you’ve ever questioned whether your family is enough, this will help you see it in a completely different light.
