Hey Super-Parents, Let's get real for a moment. Is today one of those days where your parenting doesn't feel "on point"? That's more than okay. Your parenting doesn't have to be perfect, and your house doesn't have to be spotless. As solo parents, we're juggling a dozen things at once. When life throws curveballs, it's easy to get frustrated, and a messy house can feel like the one thing that pushes you over the edge. Give yourself grace. It’s the same journey our kids are on. They are learning to navigate a world of big, confusing emotions. Just as they have off-days, we do too. Staying calm through the rollercoaster of a tantrum is one of the hardest things we do. Simply by trying, you are succeeding. We are parenting differently than previous generations. For many of them, the focus was on the appearance of being a good parent, not always on fostering a true connection or validating a child's feelings. Crying was something to be silenced, often with aggression. A child's challenging behavior was a trigger to be shut down. This created generations of adults who are now battling to heal and find their true selves. But we are the cycle-breakers. We are open to learning and adapting. We prioritize connection, validate our kids' emotions, and strengthen our bond above all else. Because of this, the next generation will be stronger and more emotionally intelligent. We are all learning, adapting, and growing right alongside our children. This is our superpower. We are setting the new standard for parenting. What's one thing you're learning (or unlearning) on your parenting journey this week? Share in the comments!

Hey superparents, Let's talk about super connection, because as solo parents, that's one of our most defining superpowers. It's not always easy, especially when you're just boarding this ship. There's a sea of emotions, challenges, grief, and difficulties when we first find ourselves on this journey. Some of us might even feel disassociated in the beginning, asking, "What do I do now? How am I going to live with this?" And that's totally okay. Your life and the lives of your children have just been through a major earthquake. The good news is that on this newly shaped ground, you can build a better life, a new life, and a super connection with your kids. They deserve your best, and you deserve to see yourself thrive. There's a process of awakening that will happen. Get ready for it. Tune in to your networks of friends and family. Self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. Make space for it, not just for your physical health but for your mental and emotional well-being. Your life has changed, and your goals will be different now. For me, creating a new dream was one of the most difficult tasks. You have to find the light in the middle of a very foggy environment. But in that fog, lighthouses begin to appear. Your kids become a lighthouse, guiding you to set up your new life and goals. Be clear with them. A simple conversation like, "Things are different now, and we're a new kind of team. We'll work together to make our family amazing," can change everything. Your emotions are another lighthouse. When a simple tantrum feels like the world is ending, that's okay. You're allowed to feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Acknowledging your feelings without judgment is a superpower. It’s a beacon telling you what you need to pay attention to. And maybe the brightest lighthouse of all? The personal triggers that come up. In the midst of it all, your own childhood difficulties will surface. This isn't a curse; it's a profound opportunity to work on yourself and break generational cycles.
