092 - Belinda's single mum story

81 min • 15 maj 2018

In this episode, Julia talks with single mum Belinda Phillips. This is Belinda's single mum story.

Thirteen years ago Belinda ended the relationship with the father of her children after an awakening that came out of a financial betrayal. She went from living in a mansion with home help and being a stay at home mum to living in a small unit and trying to make ends meet. 

A year later she met the man (a subconscious rescue plan) who would become her second husband. They were together for seven years. He was a destructive and violent man who was (at that stage) undiagnosed with bipolar. 

The final straw was when she discovered pornographic material of underage girls on his computer. Belinda didn't have any parental support, her first husband then sided with her second husband, she signed over all the financial assets to her ex-husband, and if it couldn't get any worse, her son chose to move back to South Africa to live with his dad.

In this episode, Belinda tells how she recovered from the whole situation, what she learned from her two divorces, how not reacting and sitting with the situation lead to her self-empowerment, how living in a caravan for 6 weeks with her daughter led to the concept of her business - La Luna Lifestyle, how she got her family back together, and how she picked herself up and created the happy life she has now. 

 Julia and Belinda also chat about:

  • the idea of "baggage",
  • the beautiful single mother and child bond,
  • trusting that everything will work out,
  • the best things about being a single mum, and
  • SO MUCH MORE!!

This is a story of growth, empowerment, and the love between a mother and her children.
