In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Rachel sits down with Hayley to explore the layered realities of solo motherhood in Bali. Together, they unpack the cultural nuances of raising a child in a foreign country, the emotional and practical challenges of parenting alone, and the freedom and responsibility that come with carving out a life on your own terms.
Hayley opens up about her journey as a single mother — from the mental resilience it demands, to the vital role her mother and local community play in her support system. She also shares the story behind launching her children's clothing brand and what it’s really like to balance business, motherhood, and personal growth in such a unique setting.
The conversation also touches on the transient nature of friendships in Bali, the complexities of dating as a single mum, and what it means to seek a partner who truly fits into an already full and evolving life. It's a raw, reflective, and empowering chat about choosing a different path, growing through it, and redefining what home, family, and success can look like.
