112 - Zoe Hendrix on becoming a single mum

In this week's episode, I chat with Zoe Hendrix from Australia’s very first season of Married at First Sight. Australia watched with anticipation as she married Alex and their love story continued on for four years after the show. In November 2016 their beautiful daughter Harper Rose was born, and then six months ago, in April 2018, they separated.

Zoe is now a single mum and she’s on the show this week to share some of her story and to have a bit of a chat about single mum life. 

We chat about the shame of becoming a single mum, allowing yourself to feel the grief and heartache of a break-up, treating yourself like you do your child, how life changed as a single mum, setting free the "perfect life plan", strategies to rise from rock bottom, how connecting with other single mums can change your life, the stigma of single mums (and how amazing we really are!), dating as a single mum, and how doing things for ourselves does NOT make us bad mums.

We also chat about overcompensating as a single mum, how Zoe's daughter coped with the separation and the resilience of children, how appearances can be deceiving, co-parenting challenges, and SO MUCH MORE!

Zoe also shares the benefits she's found being a single mum and her advice for new single mums.

This was such a great conversation, and Zoe's attitude is so inspiring. A must listen!
