Single Parent Guilt, Shame & Self-Compassion with Belinda Batt

In this episode, I sit down with author and coach Belinda Batt to talk about one of the biggest emotional weights single parents carry, guilt. We get into why single parent guilt can feel so much heavier than the everyday “mum guilt,” how it can quickly spiral into shame, and what you can do to break that cycle.Belinda shares insights from her book Challenge Your Guilt, including her ABCDE framework to help reframe negative thinking, and we talk about the emotional impact of parenting alone from the intensity of guilt when you’re the only one responsible, to the shame that can quietly build over time.We also look at how modern parenting is still held to outdated standards, why social media makes it worse, and how self-compassion and community are essential tools for surviving and thriving as a single parent.If guilt is something you carry quietly or heavily this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone, and that there are ways through.Check Out Belinda Batts Website:https://www.theflourishingmother.com/Solas Coaching DetailsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/solascoaching/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.solascoaching.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: [email protected]
