Embracing Single Parenting with Thea from Theas Mum Club

Thea from the fantastic Instagram account @theasmumclub shares her honest story of moving from a traumatic relationship into the freedom of solo parenting, and later into a new, non‑traditional family setup. Thea talks about what it was really like to start again with no nearby family support, the mental load of doing it all, and how she slowly rebuilt her confidence and sense of self along the way.

In this episode, Thea reflects on finding her tribe through online communities, navigating dating as a single parent, deciding when to introduce a new partner, and managing the guilt and stigma that can come with parenting outside the “traditional” family model. This conversation is for any single or solo parent who feels alone, is in a period of transition, or needs a reminder that they are doing enough and are allowed to shape family life on their own terms.
