In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I sit down with the incredible Carly Box - a single Mum of two, military veteran, and all-around powerhouse. Carly’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and learning how to truly thrive after life takes an unexpected turn.
We dive deep into her journey - from her career in the military to travelling the world, starting a business, and ultimately stepping into Motherhood. Carly opens up about the unexpected decision to become a parent, the challenges of navigating separation, and what it really takes to reclaim your identity when you feel like you've lost yourself in Motherhood. She challenges the idea that being a single Mum means struggling or sacrificing your own happiness, instead showing how choosing yourself can benefit not just you, but your children too.
We talk about the societal pressures that tell Mums they should put themselves last, the mindset shifts that changed everything for her, and why she refuses to let “tired” be her personality trait. Carly also calls out the myth that single Mums are “lucky” for getting breaks from their kids, offering a raw and real perspective on co-parenting and how communication - no matter how hard - can change everything.
