#1 Take it Easy

Not an Easy Road

...but Take it Easy Anyway

There are many paths that lead to single motherhood.

Some women arrive here through divorce. Some through loss. Some by choice. Others through situations they did not want or plan.

Many of these paths come with hurt. Some come with deep loss. Some carry stress or trauma that takes time to sort through.  Having emotions is normal.

Because you are a single mother this means you maintain two fronts at the same time

• rebuilding yourself and keeping life steady for your children.

That is real work...but you can devise a way to make it doable.

1. If there are wounds you are trying to heal, it is okay to seek help. A counselor, therapist, or trusted professional can support that process. Strategy is not meant to replace healing.

2. Take it easy. As you begin to apply ideas from this blog, go gently. Take the low-impact version, like you would in exercise. You do not need to do everything at once. You do not need to get it “right” the first time.

Progress counts—even slow progress. Be kind to yourself as you move forward. 💛
