For many single mums, Father's Day can feel less like a celebration and more like an emotional hurdle. It can bring up feelings of sadness, frustration, or even resentment (whether your children's dad is still in their lives or completely absent). In this episode, I share gentle, practical ways to navigate the day: supporting your children's emotions, caring for your own wellbeing, and finding an approach that works for your unique family situation. This is about allowing yourself to feel what you feel, while showing up in a way that feels aligned for you and your kids.
