Do I Really Hate Men? (Ang Allan-Burns)

This week on the show Ang is joined by Miss Amber Jayne, an early childhood whisperer, who has been operating preschools in northern California for almost 20 years. Amber was married at the age of 18. However, she had a gut feeling that her relationship wasn’t going to be the fairy tale she had always envisioned. Despite this she pushed forward with the hope that things would get better in time. Unfortunately, they didn’t. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31 she realised that you only get one shot at life and decided to get hers back.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Amber was married at the age of 18, and like so many, looked past the red flags and thought ‘things will get better.’ However, as her marriage went on, things got worse. She discusses the cycle of abuse that led her to get divorced 17 years later. 
• At the age of 31 Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer, she prayed that this might be a blessing in disguise and make her husband change his ways, but he remained the same. Amber explains how this was the moment she began to come to terms with the reality of her relationship. 
• Amber had four children with her ex husband, but what she discovered is that he used them as pawns to manipulate her and their relationship. She talks about how she finally realised this and the steps she took to protect her children. 
• Amber signed up to the school of ‘Stay busy’ in order to help heal from her divorce. She outlines the positives of this approach and how it led her to opening and owning a number of preschools in northern California. 

BEST MOMENTS

“It is possible, unfortunately, to see red flags and still love somebody.”

“If you’re in a toxic relationship and you’re staying for the kids then you’re doing them a disservice, because you are falling apart and you’re no good for anybody.”

“Making the decision to get divorced and then to go through with it is life changing, but the real change only comes when you begin to work on yourself.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children. 

ABOUT THE HOST

Ang is first and foremost a very proud Mum. She is on a mission to share her experiences of both divorce and life as a single Mum. With a 25 year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a self confessed self development junkie.

This week Ang is joined by Vanessa White, an accredited relationship and divorce master coach who specialises in domestic abuse. Vanessa thought she was happily married. But, when she came to the realisation that she was in fact in an abusive relationship her life fundamentally changed.  After finding the courage to leave the relationship and the strength to move on, Vanessa decided to become a relationship coach to help people that were experiencing what she herself had experienced. In this interview with Ang, Vanessa talks about types of abuse, how to spot it, how to safely leave a relationship and how life can go on once you are free.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Vanessa, who herself has gone through a divorce, reflects on what she learned from the process, and details how learning to put yourself first can shape not only your future as an individual but as a partner in new relationships. 
• The majority of people that are in abusive relationships don’t know they’re in abusive relationships. Through her own experience, Vanessa recounts how she finally realised her partner was abusive and the mental and emotional turmoil that resulted due to this revelation. 
• Even after you leave your abusive partner the abuse can, and many times does, continue. Vanessa details the ways in which abusive behaviour can manifest post divorce, the warning signs to look out for and how to get the right help from the right people. 
• If you have children then they too will suffer from the fallout of an abusive relationship. Vanessa, who has four children, discusses the approach she took to both protect her children and to make sure that their upbringing would be safe and healthy. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Don’t abandon your own needs. No strong, healthy relationship can be built on that foundation.”

“Find somebody that wants to be with you for you.”

“The tragedy of abuse is that the person that is supposed to be loving you the most is the one that is hurting you.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The trauma of divorce can bring about a complex mix of emotions and behaviours. And, as you navigate the tricky waters of divorce, it is the easiest thing in the world to hide everything inside and pretend that you’re ok. However, this behaviour is self destructive and will only harm you and your loved ones in the future. This week, Ang is here to talk to you about the importance of recognising your negative emotions and behaviours, from guilty mother syndrome to stress, and how to tackle them head on so that you can live your best life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you make the decision to end your marriage the impact this has on your children can not be understated. Naturally, this can lead to feelings of guilt and can affect how you behave. Ang discusses how to live with and process that guilt.
• Like most women, Ang tried to put on a brave face during the early days of her divorce. However, she soon realised that this was not healthy. She explains some of the self care methods she adopted and how they helped her.
• When Ang started counselling she found that her problems were not only universal and, there were strategies that she could adopt to help herself and her children, which she details here. 
• Stress and divorce go hand in hand. And, stress, if not managed, will only breed more stress. Ang discusses why it is important to recognise the triggers for stress and offers some invaluable tips on how to reduce your level of stress.

BEST MOMENTS

“A good relationship is a partnership. Give and take.”

“How you deal with stress will have a direct link to your recovery from divorce.”

“Being honest with yourself is the most important thing you can do.”

This week on the show Ang is on a mission to inject some positivity into the subject of divorce. It took Ang a long time to get into a better place after her divorce and one of the main things that helped her was recognising the negativity in her life. But, she didn’t just try to eliminate negativity, as she soon discovered that was impossible, she actually learned how to embrace it and manage it so that it no longer controlled her life. In this episode, Ang is sharing her tips and tricks so that you can become a master of your negativity and move into a more positive place. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• After her divorce Ang began reading a number of self help books all designed to eliminate negativity. But what she realised is that negativity is a natural part of life and needs to be managed. Ang talks about her realisation and how she addressed this problem. 
• Ang shares the details of an exercise she works on with couples, whereby changing your negative vocabulary to a more positive one can drastically alter your mindset.  
• Most people adopt a negative mindset without even being aware of it. Ang realised that by developing self awareness you can stop yourself from wallowing in the negative. She shares the secrets of how she achieved this and an example exercise that will help you get there. 
• Ang realised that once she adopted a more positive mindset that some of the more negative people in her life were no longer good to be around. She talks about the difficult decisions she had to make, but how they ultimately made her stronger. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Negativity is a natural part of life. It’s how you approach it and deal with it that makes the difference.”

“You only get what you are looking for. Positivity is out there, we’ve just been conditioned not to see it.”

“When we’ve had an extended period of negativity we don’t see the positives at all. The challenge is reconditioning your mind to see the positive everywhere.”

Ang is continuing on from last week's show on dating, this week looking at the complex world of internet dating. Dating practices have changed dramatically over the last few years and with more and more people choosing to stay home instead of a night out, internet dating has become the most popular, and convenient, method of meeting a potential partner. But, internet dating is a minefield. Luckily, Ang is here to talk you through everything from building your profile, to safety tips, first dates ideas and the bizarre concept of ‘ghosting’.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Internet dating has come a long way since its inception and the stigma around it has certainly disappeared. Ang talks about the many options available to you and the importance of finding the right one. 
• The key to starting any relationship, regardless of how you meet, is honesty. Ang gives her top tips on building your online dating profile and why it is important to be as honest as possible. 
• Safety is a key aspect to consider when you enter into the world of online dating. Somebody can pretend to be anybody on an app whilst sharing a few messages, but how do you know they are who they say they are? Ang shares her tips that will help keep you safe.
• Ghosting, the phenomenon of a potential partner suddenly disappearing, is all too common on dating sites. And, unfortunately, you will experience it. Ang discusses the many ways in which ghosting can present itself and how you can build a tolerance to it. 

BEST MOMENTS

“It’s important to be honest, why would you want to start your relationship with a lie?”

“Be careful spending weeks talking to someone online. You could be building a relationship with somebody who could be anybody”

“Ghosting happens all the time, but, remember, it’s always their issue and not yours.”

Although we associate money with happiness, it can, in truth, be the cause of many problems. That is why, this week, Ang has invited Dominic Baldwin, CEO of Xentum Ltd on to the show. Dominic’s company focuses on helping people with lifestyle wealth planning. Where most financial advisors will advise you in ways that benefit them, and their cut of your money, Dominic approaches financial advice from a wellbeing point of view. In this interview with Ang, Dominic outlines the steps and strategies he uses that can help you achieve healthy, financial wellbeing. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dominic’s father lost his parents at a very early age and, as a result, found himself to be financially independent. Dominic later discovered that the people advising his father about his finances did not have his best interests at heart. Dominic explains how this led him on the path to forming Xentum Ltd.

• Most financial advisors will ask you how much money you have and then try to increase that amount by investing and/or attempting to save you from paying a high tax bill. Dominic outlines how his service offers something different - financial advice from a humanistic point of view. 

• Most of us spend our lives trying to achieve financial wellbeing. Dominic lays out his tried and tested method on how he helps his clients get there. 

• Through his work with his clients, Dominic realised that most of them were also in need of emotional support. This led him to form another company, Xentum Wellbeing. He explains what this company does and how it can help you. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Don’t dream in black and white, dream in technicolour.” 

“There’s no correlation between happiness and your bank balance.”

“If your advisor is being remunerated as a percentage of your success then there is a conflict of interest.”

This week, in a change to the regular program, Ang is going from interviewer to interviewee. Ang was recently a guest on the “Helping Teachers Thrive” podcast to discuss all things school and divorce. In this interview with host Tem, Ang shares her valuable insights and wisdom on how parents and teachers can support a child whose parents are going through a divorce. From warning signs in the classroom to sports days parent evenings and extra support services, Ang and Tem have you covered so that you can help your child successfully navigate through a difficult time. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How can teachers be more aware of what a child is going through? Ang shares her expertise on what is happening to children when their parents are divorcing, how this manifests, and how teachers can spot it. 
• Parent's evenings, sports days, and Christmas plays take on a whole new dynamic when a child has parents who are divorced. Ang shares her tips on how to make these occasions easier for your child.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times it's emotionally inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -is to help women and mothers globally recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume there are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing for their children. 

ABOUT THE HOST

Ang is first and foremost a very proud Mum. She is on a mission to share her experiences of both divorce and life as a single Mum. With a 25-year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a confessed self-development junkie. 

Ang has written her first book called 'Do I Really Hate Men', due to be released later this year which NEEDS to be read by women worldwide. With a high level of emotional intelligence, she works tirelessly to improve the lives of womankind through her words, both digitally and at speaking events globally. 

With a six-year divorce behind her, Ang represented herself in court a total of 6 times. She has been a single parent of two boys for a total of 14 years. She has lived through the struggles and come out the other side. Her words, honesty, and humor captivate her audience. 

This week on the show Ang is joined by Nadine Pittam, accredited psychotherapist and host of the “This Won’t Fix You”. Nadine specialises in working with clients who experience intense feelings of love and are prone to obsessions, or more commonly referred to as ‘love addicts’.  The majority of Nadine’s work centres around helping people come to terms with the loss of a loved one, the very definition of divorce. In this interview with Ang, Nadine addresses what physiotherapy actually is, its benefits and shares some fascinating insights on how we feel about our feelings.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

●      A lot of people have predetermined ideas of what psychotherapy entails, mainly based on its portrait in the movies. However, Nadine describes what therapy really entails and the benefits that come from it.

●      Trauma can present itself in multiple ways and, sometimes, they are not always obvious. Nadine and Ang discuss some of the ways trauma can manifest and why it is important to address it before it takes hold.

●      After experiencing a divorce it is very common to suddenly feel incomplete, to feel that our ‘other half’ has disappeared. Nadine explains the importance of acknowledging these feelings and the steps you can take to process these thoughts. 

●      Those people that do enter into therapy use it as a tool to get past the impending crisis they are facing. However, as Nadine explains, those that enter into therapy for the long haul have an opportunity to transform their lives in ways they never thought possible.

BEST MOMENTS

“Whoever you are or whatever you’ve done, your behaviour makes sense.”

“Therapy isn’t talking about your feelings, it’s talking about how you feel about your feelings.”

“If you keep something in the dark for long enough, it will develop.”

ABOUT THE HOST

Ang is first and foremost a very proud Mum. She is on a mission to share her experiences of both divorce and life as a single Mum. With a 25 year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a self confessed self development junkie.

Ang has written her first book called 'Do I Really Hate Men', due to be released later this year which NEEDS to be read by women worldwide. With a high level of emotional intelligence she works tirelessly to improve the lives of womankind through her words, both digitally and at speaking events globally.

With a six year divorce behind her, Ang represented herself in court a total of 6 times. She has been a single parent of two boys for a total of 14 years. She has lived through the struggles and come out the other side. Her words, honesty and humour captivates her audience.

This week Ang is addressing the topic of access to your children and when it can turn sour. One of the hardest things about divorce is having a third party decide when you can and can’t see your own children. However, the court's decision is only the start of the painful process of access. Not only does it have a profound emotional impact on your children but it also deeply affects the parents, that can, and oftentimes does, lead to people making bad or selfish decisions. But, Ang is here to help guide you through this difficult time and explain how you can be the parent your child needs. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most women that go through a divorce will unfortunately hear their children say “I hate you, I want to live with dad.” But what is the true meaning behind these words and what is the best thing you can do to help your children? Ang explains. 
• When a court rules on which parent gets to see the children at what times it doesn’t always have the insight the parents do. This can lead to parents withholding access of their children to their ex partner. Ang explains why this is sometimes a necessary evil. 
• However, some parents can use their children as weapons and withhold access to their ex partners for cruel and malicious purposes. Ang recounts when this happened to her and the fallout is caused. 
• Don’t underestimate your children's ability to see what is happening to you during this hard time. As much as you are mindful of their emotions, they are mindful of yours. Ang shares an incredible story of how her toddler comforted her during a particularly hard time. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Watching your child distressed and with tears in their eyes is something no parent wants to see.”

“Your child’s emotional wellbeing is more important than any court order.”

“Try to balance the good with the bad and try to keep your deep dark emotions controlled.”

This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.

Unfortunately divorce comes hand in hand with a barrage of negative emotions. And it is these emotions that linger with us, control us and, if not addressed, can influence who we become. Recovery from a divorce is, put simply, moving on from negative emotions. But, this is not as easy as it sounds. Ang has experienced all the negative emotions associated with divorce first hand, and, in this week's episode, she is here to guide you through her top 5 coping strategies to move past these emotions and begin the journey to being the best version of you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It’s OK to not be OK. Negative emotions are all part of the human experience, we have all felt them in the past and will feel them in the future. Ang shares, from her experience, how to cope with these emotions so that they don’t end up controlling you.
• Just after her divorce, Ang received some bad news that threatened to spoil her valentines day. She recounts how she overcame these negative emotions by learning to love herself. 
• We often look to friends and family for help and support when we are experiencing hard times but, as Ang learnt and explains, only you have the power to change your world. 
• Advice, strategies and plans are all great but, without action, they are meaningless. Ang shares her tips on how to move from the planning stage to the action stage and how to keep going once you get there.    

BEST MOMENTS

“When we fail to feel better, we beat ourselves up and end up spiralling, but if we fight back, we can feel better.”

“You need to learn to be good to yourself, to love yourself.”

“Stop trying to be the finished article, instead, continue to learn and move forward. Take every opportunity to grow.”

This week, Ang is excited to welcome her first ever male guest - Andy Baker, a behaviour specialist, author, podcaster, speaker and entrepreneur. Specialising in behaviour management in adult and child social care for over 20 years, Andy went through a divorce in 2014. His partner had a son from a previous relationship and, over the years, Andy became his father. Once the divorce was finalised, Andy was determined to not lose his son. With his expertise in behaviour management and through time and patience, he was able to continue a positive relationship with his son and ex-partner. In this interview with Ang, Andy explains the steps he took and how you can adopt them to help your child through a divorce with less trauma. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When a relationship ends people often turn to their nearest and dearest for advice, however, Andy and his ex partner took the step of working with a separation counsellor. He explains what this is, how the process works and what he and his partner gained from the experience.  
• When Andy entered into his previous relationship his partner already had a son, who Andy formed a strong bond with. Once his relationship ended, Andy wanted to continue being a father to him. He talks about how that process developed post relationship and the string bond that continues to this day. 
• Children do not have the same depth of social experience and brain development as adults. Andy explains how children view divorce differently from their parents and how you can make that an easier emotional experience for them.
• If you have gone through a divorce, your child or children are in pain. But, how do you identify how this pain manifests and what can you do to help them? Andy details the signs to look out for and how to respond. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Children interpret the world and the things they hear in a different way to adults. Try to be mindful of your behaviour and speech around them.”

“The child that gets angry is easy to identify, the child that goes into withdrawal is harder to spot, but they still need the same level of nurturing and support.”

“When you are a parent, you are your own boss, your own manager. So you’ve got to be the best employee, but also the best manager you can be.”

This week on the show Ang is addressing the huge subject of how divorce affects your children. After Ang’s divorce she was left to raise her two sons. Through this experience she has first hand knowledge of the stigma single mums face, the difficulty in transitioning from being one parent to two and how to help guide your children through the pain. But, Ang has come out the other side and now sees benefits in her relationship with her children that she never expected. In this episode, she shares all her wisdom and learnings so that you, and your children, can also find your happy place. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As Ang discovered, she didn’t just have to get herself through the hardship of divorce, but she had to help her children through the process as well. She talks about the challenges that brings, such as answering tough questions with honesty.

• One of the biggest challenges Ang found was that she was now acting in the role of two parents. She talks about how she overcame this challenge and some of the difficulties in adopting tasks that are usually left to the male role model. 
• Still today Ang finds herself in a constant fight with people about the perception of single  mums. Ang details how she deals with this, even when she’s out on a date with a prospective new partner.
• Once on the other side of the emotional pain, Ang discovered many unexpected benefits of being a single mum, which she discusses.

BEST MOMENTS

“You must give your children a place where they can feel safe and their circumstances are as normal as can be.”

“Your own pain is one thing, but the torture you feel when your children’s hearts are bleeding is suffering like no other.”

“When you’re raising children by yourself, the trials and tribulations are magnified, you don’t have anyone to take over or comfort you.”

This week Ang is joined by Nicole Ratcliffe, also known as ‘The Workplace Sleep Coach’. Since 2017 Nicole has been working as a sleep coach, helping families get a better night's sleep. A bad night's sleep can affect you in so many different ways and, in the modern world, it seems like there are more factors than ever before that affect our sleep. But, there is also more educational and practical tools available to us to help. In this interview, Nicole shares her in-depth knowledge of sleep science so you can develop healthy sleeping practices and build a solid foundation for becoming the best version of yourself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When Nicole had her first child in 2016 the lack of sleep that she and her husband were getting as a result had untold negative effects on their life. After paying a sleep professional to help them, Nicole became obsessed with the positive benefits of a good night's sleep. She explains to Ang how this led her to a career as a sleep coach.
• When living with a sleep problem, it is common practice to keep it to yourself and just expect it to work itself out. However, this will only lead to more problems. Nicole discusses the first steps you need to take to address this problem.
• Nicole shares her top tips on things you can do as part of your nighttime routine to ensure a better night's sleep.
• Waking up in the middle of the night can be awful, especially when you just can’t get back to sleep. But, this is a common problem, and as Nicole explains, there are ways to help you get back to sleep.

BEST MOMENTS

“For the first 18 months, after the birth of a child, up to 62% of parents are not getting the required sleep to safely do their job.”

“Sleep deprivation affects every single part of our daily lives from our weight to stress, to emotional regulation and physical and mental health.”

“If you’re struggling with sleep, the best thing you can do is educate yourself.”

The week marks the 20th episode of the podcast and Ang is feeling incredibly proud of herself, and rightly so, as most podcasts don’t make it past episode 8. To celebrate this achievement Ang is looking back over the last 19 episodes and sharing some of her personal highlights. And to further celebrate, Ang has a big announcement she wants to share with you all. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• After 19 episodes, Ang has had some fabulous guests, feedback and reviews. She recaps her favourite moments from her previous shows for those who want to listen again and those who are new to the show. 
• For a while now Ang has been working on a divorce coaching programme. Now complete, she shares the outline of the ‘A to A Divorce Success Path’. A way to unlock your new beginning and transform your life after divorce. 
• One of the steps in Ang’s new programme is ‘Personal Advancement.’ When a marriage becomes stale we can find ourselves lost and no longer moving forward in our own life. But, as Ang explains, with the pain of divorce also comes an opportunity to begin your journey again. 
• It’s also normal for you to lose your authentic self when your mind is overrun by negative thoughts about your failing relationship. Luckily, this is another step in Ang’s 6 step programme. Here, she gives a brief overview of how to regain your authenticity. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Not everyone will be in your book of life for the whole book, some people will come in for a chapter, some will be a main character.”

“When you’re going through a divorce you don’t feel like you’re in control. So how do you get that control back?”

“You might think that you're stuck. But this is not true, you have the strength to get out and the strength to live a beautiful life.”

After a divorce your life changes. In fact, if anything, that’s what a divorce is, a fundamental change in your life. But, even though your life has changed, life around continues to move forward. In this week's episode Ang looks back on key life events such as holidays and special occasions, how they come around no matter where you are, how they suddenly feel different, but most importantly, if you ‘get on with it’, how they will bring you a new kind of joy and happiness. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Behaving with dignity can sometimes be hard when you are going through divorce, especially if your ex partner is playing dirty. But, when there are children involved, it is essential to rise above it. Ang shares her learnings on this to help you act with grace.
• Everything changes after a divorce, not just the things you expect to change. Ang had this realisation when it was time to book her first ‘post-divorce’ family holiday. She talks about the challenges this presented but also the rewards that came with it. 
• Whilst your life changes after a divorce, the rest of the world seems to stay the same, especially with annual events such as mothers day. Ang discusses how events like mothers day can take on a whole new meaning after a divorce for both you and your children. 

BEST MOMENTS

“The only thing you can ever have control over in your life is your own thoughts, feelings and actions.”

“It's a natural human reaction to think “an eye for an eye”, but if you learn to rise above it, you will instantly see the benefits.”

“Children see more than we give them credit for, so don’t try and hide it from them, because they can see it anyway.”

This week on the show Ang is recounting the early days of her divorce and the importance of both having a support network around you and being supportive for others. Whether it’s a text message in the middle of the night, or a neighbour dropping by with a bottle of wine, friends are a crucial support system to help you get through the heartbreak. However, as Ang discovered, not all your friends will be there for you, and some of them will even hold your divorce against you. And if this wasn’t enough to deal with, you now have to be the main support network for your children, whilst trying to hide the true pain you are feeling from them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ang talks about the difficulty of breaking the news to your children that their parents are going to divorce, how that affects their relationships and the inevitable discussion around  and sharing custody.   

• From having your children in the house all day every day to sharing them with your partner can be a traumatic change. Ang discusses the emptiness of the house, but also how, when her children were home, how different life suddenly became.

• When you become a single parent you are thrusted into taking up the role of two parents. And talks about the difficulties of taking on this new task whilst trying to hide the pain you are experiencing from your children.
• When there is a sudden void in your life it is important to fill it. Ang recalls the importance of having her friends around during the early days of her divorce, and how this led to stronger relationships with some, but also fractured relationships with others.

BEST MOMENTS

“When going through a divorce you have to adopt a one thing at a time approach otherwise it becomes too overwhelming.”

“Make sure that your feelings of strength and love supersedes your vulnerability.”

“You lose money when going through a divorce, but emotions and feelings are so much harder to repair than your bank balance.”

Ang is first and foremost a very proud Mum. She is on a mission to share her experiences of both divorce and life as a single Mum. With a 25 year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a self confessed self development junkie. 

Ang has written her first book called 'Do I Really Hate Men', due to be released later this year which NEEDS to be read by women worldwide. With a high level of emotional intelligence she works tirelessly to improve the lives of womankind through her words, both digitally and at speaking events globally. 

With a six year divorce behind her, Ang represented herself in court a total of 6 times. She has been a single parent of two boys for a total of 14 years. She has lived through the struggles and come out the other side. Her words, honesty and humour captivates her audience. 

This week Ang is joined by Adela Manzoor, a public speaker, podcaster and family lawyer. The emotional aspect of divorce is extremely difficult for all involved, but the legal aspect can be even harder. Suddenly, you find yourself in real conflict with a person that you have spent a lifetime loving and caring for. But there is hope. As Adela explains in this interview, not all lawyers are there to bleed you dry and move onto the next client. A good lawyer will become your friend, your confidant, and in some cases, your counsellor. But how do you pick the right lawyer and what should you prepare yourself for?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Adela, who wanted to help her clients through divorce, talks about how she underestimated the emotional challenges of the job and shares how this aspect changed her perception of divorce proceedings. 

• What are the main things to look for when hiring a divorce lawyer? As Adela explains, most people think it’s someone that can get the job done, quickly and cheaply, but there are far more important factors to consider. 
• Adela breaks down, in simple terms, the process of going through a divorce, from initial meetings with your lawyer, to first negotiations, right through to court procedure. 
• Adela outlines the difference between a clean break divorce and one where you still have legal ties to your ex partner, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. 

BEST MOMENTS

“You need to find a lawyer that doesn’t just help you on the legal side, but on the emotional side too.”

“Try to be humble, try to let go of your ego, try to go through mediation. If you don’t, things can get nasty, and expensive, very fast.”

“There’s a lot at stake when you go to court, which in turn can stir emotions and lead to hostile behaviour.”

This week on the show Ang is joined by Shez Skeikh, father, content creator, breathwork coach with over 1 million followers on social media. When Shez welcomed his son into the world he was overjoyed, however, two short weeks later he suddenly found himself as a single parent.

This week Ang is joined by Lynn Schulte, birth healing specialist, pelvic health physiotherapist and founder of the ‘Institute for Birth Healing’, which helps women heal from all the issues they face after birth. Directly after birth all women shift their entire focus on to their newborn, any lingering pain or discomfort the mother may feel is chalked up to ‘the difficulty of giving birth’. But, what most women don’t realise is that the trauma of giving birth can lead to pain, both mental and physical, that will last a lifetime if it is not addressed. In this episode, Lynn covers the whole topic of birth related trauma, the consequent pain and how to heal in the short term so that your body and mind are where they need to be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• With 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist Lynn had to move states and start her practice from scratch. It was here that she discovered a revelation that led to her work with postnatal women.

• Giving birth is a beautiful, yet traumatic, experience. Lynn explains how the body and mind react to this trauma and how the pain and problems that women experience after birth are a direct result of this trauma.

• Once the trauma associated with the pain is identified it is time to work on healing. Lynn breaks down how she works with her patients to heal their bodies, and their minds. 

• Lynn talks about the various positions that women lie in when giving birth and how they affect the resulting pain and problems they can incur post birth.

BEST MOMENTS

“Our issues remain in our tissues until we get help with them.” 

“The cells of our body get stuck in that place of trauma and we need to heal them so we can move into present day awareness.”

“You can need from the mind alone, you have to reconnect it to your mind."

Divorce doesn’t just bring about a separation from your partner, it can, and does, bring about a separation in other parts of your life, and one of them is your home. This week on the show Ang is talking about the stressful act of moving home. An act that is made even more stressful when twined with divorce. From where to go, to what to do with the items you bought with your partner and how to reduce the stress on yourself and your children, Ang has you covered. And, as she reveals, the upheaval might just be worth it in the long run. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• After Ang’s divorce she wanted to stay in the family home with her boys, to minimise any further disruption. However, it soon became clear that she needed to move. She talks about the process of moving house whilst navigating a divorce. 
• Moving day is stressful. In fact, everyday leading up to moving day is stressful. Ang was on her own with her two boys when she had to move house, which only added to her stress. She recounts here her memories of the days leading up to moving and how she overcame some of the challenges. 
• Once Ang and the boys were finally settled in the new house they discovered that the stress of moving was worth it when they began to realise all the unexpected benefits of having a new home, which Ang details. 
• Some people don’t, or can’t, move house after a divorce. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still have a fresh start. Ang offers her tips on how to make your existing home feel like a new one. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Divorce and moving house are two of the most stressful things you can experience. But, experiencing both of them at the same time is terrifying.” 

“Women are like teabags. You don’t know how strong they are until you put them into hot water.”

“Moving is an upheaval, but I promise it’s worth it. It’s a new start.”

When navigating a divorce it is crucial that you find ways to reduce your stress as much as possible. One of the biggest creators of stress in our lives is often our jobs, that’s why, this week on the show, Ang is looking at the benefits of flexible working for single parents. The stress a divorce places on your working life is huge, from suddenly needing to be financially independent to having to change your timetable, therefore it is crucial that you find a job that works for you. From the different models of flexible working to dealing with your employer, Ang covers it all in this episode so that you can find a job that works for you and creates one less thing to worry about. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Some employers are opposed to flexible working but they are missing out on a whole host of benefits. Ang details the advantages, for both employees and employers, that flexible working provides. 
• Whilst flexible working can be a good thing for you and your employer, there are also your co-workers to consider. Ang outlines a few ways flexible working might affect your colleagues and what you can do to mitigate any negative effects. 
• Flexible working doesn’t just mean one thing. Ang breaks down the different models of flexible working to give you an understanding of which one might work best for you. 
• Despite the benefits of flexible working, your employer just might not be open to the idea. In this case it may be time to look for a new job. Ang gives you a list of things you should consider when looking for a new role.

BEST MOMENTS

“Flexible working allows employers to save costs on office space and employees to save costs on commuting.”

“Before you ask your employer what you need from flexible working, think about the impact to yourself and others and how you can reduce any negative effects.”

“When you’re going through a divorce everything you can do to relieve pressure is only going to help you. Finding a job that works for you is one of the best ways to reduce unnecessary pressure.”

With a 25 year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a self confessed self development junkie. 

Ang has written her first book called 'Do I Really Hate Men', due to be released later this year which NEEDS to be read by women worldwide. With a high level of emotional intelligence she works tirelessly to improve the lives of womankind through her words, both digitally and at speaking events globally.

This week Ang is continuing her mission to spread positivity and love. Following on from last week's episode, Ang is sharing even more tips and tricks on how you can move past the negative emotions and feelings associated with divorce into a more happy and healthy place. For pushing your comfort zone to focusing on your core genius and positive affirmations, Ang is here to guide you into your happy place so that the trauma of divorce is nothing more than a distant memory. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• After a divorce it can feel like your ‘normal’ no longer exists. The best way to change this is to create a new life by trying new things, but this can be scary. Ang gives her advice on how to push your boundaries and comfort zones so you can arrive in a happier place.
• You've got to move past negativity, you’ve got to stop only seeing the bad in yourself and find and focus on the good, something that Ang calls focusing on your core genius, she explains how to do this.
• Our greatest source of unhappiness is usually the things that we say to ourselves. But are we even aware that we are doing it? Ang breaks down how can become more self aware and replace those negative thoughts with positive ones.
• Another great way to create a positive image of yourself is by using affirmations. Ang explains what these are, the benefits of using them and gives examples of an affirmation that has helped her through some dark times.

BEST MOMENTS

“Your ability to grow is directly related to the amount of insecurities in your life.”

“Courage is having fear and acting anyway.”

“Do more of the things that you love and you will naturally be happier.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

Following on from her episodes on dating, this week, Ang is taking a look at the red flags to look out for when becoming involved with a potential new partner. When you meet someone new and the sparks fly it’s sometimes easy to overlook what appear to be negative behaviours and regard them as ‘a one off’. However, these negative behaviours are often a sign of things to come. From controlling behaviours to love bombing and jealousy to communication, Ang is here to tell you her ten most common red flags, how to spot them early and, ultimately, how to make sure you find the partner you deserve. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Communication in any relationship is crucial. And it’s crucial to make sure it’s right from day one. Ang discusses the red flags to look out for regarding communication.
• When Ang was dating someone early after her divorce she realised that some of his behaviours were not normal and were causing Ang to adjust her lifestyle. She talks about the dangers of controlling behaviours and how to look out for them.
• How do you know something might be a red flag? Ang tells you the one question you can ask yourself to be certain whether your potential future partner is displaying any behaviours to be cautious of. 
• Meeting someone new is extremely exciting and can lead to emotions spiralling out of control. However, someone who can not control those emotions can begin to “Love Bomb”. Ang explains the concept of love bombing and how it’s actually a red flag to look out for.  

BEST MOMENTS

“If you can have red flags in your mind before you go on your date it can save you a lot of time and heartache.”

“Controlling behaviours can begin as something small and innocent. So, be aware of them before they grow out of proportion.”  

“Real love takes time to build and should evolve at a natural pace.”

This week Ang is joined by Karen Shaw, a transformational life, parenting and relationship coach, alignment therapist NLP practitioner as well as being the author of the number one best selling book, ‘Parenting Magic’. Karen is the mother of three boys, all of which have various disabilities. Struggling to understand how she could help them better and consumed by negative thoughts following her divorce, Karen set out to change herself and change the life of her boys. In this interview with Ang, Karen outlines her incredible journey of self learning and how she developed and learned the tools needed to give herself and her children the best life they could have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Karen has three sons, all of which have various disabilities. Once she realised that they were not thriving in the way they should be, she set out to find ways in which she herself could help them, as she explains to Ang.
• When Karen went through her divorce she was overcome with negative emotions toward her husband. She discusses with Ang how she came to the realisation that this was destructive behaviour and the tools and methods she adopted to help her overcome it.
• Once Karen had implemented the various methods of self help she learned at home, she was struck by how noticeable the effects of them were to visiting friends and family members. Realising that she could help others, she decided to write a book. She explains the process to Ang.
• Karen explains the concept of ‘Ditch the Don’t’ to Ang. And how making simple changes in the way we communicate to each other can have immense positive repercussions.

BEST MOMENTS

“Once you’ve got the title of ‘parent’ you’ve got it for life.”

“Trying to suppress your emotions is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater. It’s eventually going to burst back up with force.”

“Our thoughts become beliefs which then become behaviours. That’s why it’s so important to take control of our thoughts before they take control of our behaviours.”

This week, Ang is joined by Farhana Hussain, a divorce doula. Farhana is one of only a handful of divorce doula’s in the UK, but what exactly are they? Doula comes from the Greek term for a wise woman that traditionally helped other women through childbirth. Much the same, Farhana now helps women through the emotional and spiritual rebirth they experience as a part of divorce. Described by her clients as a real life fairy godmother, Farhana breaks down her methods, logic and how your life can be transformed when you work with a divorce doula

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What exactly is a divorce doula? Farhana explains not only what a divorce doula does, but how she discovered, through her own divorce, that that’s what she wanted to become. 
• Farhana explains how the process of going through a divorce is a spiritual and emotional rebirth, and how, if approached in the correct way, can transform your life into something you never expected.
• Divorce isn’t just hard on you and your partner, but is extremely hard for your children too. Recognising this, Farhana has developed a ‘child centric’ approach to her work, which she details here. 
• Farhana explains how, in the early stages of your divorce, a doula can help you where a lawyer can’t, which can save you a lot of emotional and financial stress. 

BEST MOMENTS

“You have to move through your emotions, not just ignore them and hope they’ll go away, because they won’t.”

“As a doula I am rebirthing the new version of you.”

“Even though divorce is becoming more common, there is still a lot of stigma around it and guilt and shame attached to it.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dawn looks back on her 27 years of marriage and how, after seeing her parents' fairytale romance, her expectations were not met. 
• Dawn talks about the importance of taking responsibility for your own actions when your relationship is in trouble, and how both parties should do this, instead of just blaming each other. 
• One of the things that surprised Dawn the most when she went through her divorce was the new found wisdom she could impart on her children about relationships. She shares these learnings and the benefits that have come from them.
• Dawn recounts the steps she took after her divorce in order to heal and move forward, and shares them with you, so that your ‘emotional rollercoaster’ may be an easier ride than hers.

Tze is also a single mum that has experienced the heartbreak of divorce and has emerged from the other side. In this wide ranging interview with Ang, Tze discusses how she juggles all aspects of her incredibly busy life, whilst also being a single parent, and how she makes sure that her relationship with her children comes first and foremost.

• With two children, Tze recognised that the decisions she made throughout her divorce had to be what was best for them, how this taught her to be vulnerable and the surprising benefits that came from that.

“If you are prepared to be vulnerable and reach out to people, you’ll be surprised how much they will help you.”

“Your time becomes precious when you are a single parent, so you really need to know why you’re doing what you’re doing.”

Welcome to the second part of Ang’s two part special on Christmas. There are so many traditions around Christmas and New Year and we always feel like we have to adhere to them to please others or because ‘that’s what Christmas should be’. However, in this episode Ang proposes a new way to approach Christmas and New Year. From doing away with New Year's resolutions to being selfish over the holidays, Ang is giving you the tools to start some new Christmas traditions and to make 2025 the best year yet. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Christmas is different after a divorce, whether you want it to be or not. It took Ang a little while to work this out, but as she explains here, planning is the key to having the Christmas you want. 

• You can’t control what other people do but, you can control how you respond. Ang talks about the concept of ‘Just Let Them’ and how it can help you cope with negative behaviours from others so that they don’t spoil this special time of year.

• Everyone makes a New Year's resolution, but how many of us really stick to them? Ang proposes an alternative “A Last Year Funeral”. She explains this concept, of letting go of the negativity in your life, and how it can make your new year the best yet. 

• Ang shares the details of her Christmas gift to you and how it can help you through the festive period and move into the new year with a more positive mindset. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Don’t look for others to make your life great, make it great yourself.”

“You must live with the determination and awareness to move forward with a different mindset.”

“Even if you believe in fate and destiny, you must take proactive action to make it happen.”

This week on the show Ang is tackling the subject of parenting through divorce. It is most people's conception that the way to guide your children through divorce is by smothering them with love. However, through Ang’s own experience with her two boys, she has found that this is simply not the case. In this episode Ang shares her lessons learned and top tips and tricks to help you help your children as they navigate the turbulent waters of divorce. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Society labels children whose parents have divorced as those who have come from a “broken home”. However, as Ang explains, through her own experience, a broken home is not what society thinks it is. 
• It is vitally important to care and protect your children during and after divorce, but this might come from ‘direct parenting’. Ang talks about how being the best version of you is the best thing you can do for them.
• After a divorce most children feel like they’ve suddenly got less in their lives. Ang addresses this by sharing and explaining her number one tip - be present. 
• Finally, Ang has some good news to share as a result of the success of the podcast. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Parenting is without doubt the hardest job you will ever love.”

“Your children don’t need you to save them, they need to watch you save yourself.”

“You might not be perfect, but striving for it everyday is a gift you give your children for life.”

With a 25 year career in the corporate world, she has always been passionate about empowering women and those around her. She is a fully qualified life coach of 20 years and a self confessed self development junkie. 

Ang has written her first book called 'Do I Really Hate Men', due to be released later this year which NEEDS to be read by women worldwide.

With a six year divorce behind her, Ang represented herself in court a total of 6 times. She has been a single parent of two boys for a total of 14 years. She has lived through the struggles and come out the other side. Her words, honesty and humour captivates her audience. 

This week on the show Ang is continuing to share her wisdom on the subject of children and divorce. Instinct tells us to put our children first when going through a divorce. As a parent you want to shield them from everything, but this can come at a cost. In this episode, Ang shares her insights on how best to be there for your children, and it is by taking care of yourself first and foremost. Because, as Ang explains, by looking after yourself you can look after your children which encourages them to look after themselves and you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is the most natural thing in the world to want to spend time with your children after going through a divorce, but it is also vitally important to spend time by yourself. Ang talks about her approach to this and tells you how to spot opportunities that you might not have otherwise seen. 
• Divorce is a big event in anyone's life and the emotions that come with it can easily amplify the significance of all other problems you are facing. Ang’s stepmom shared some words of wisdom with her that helped her realise this and prioritise, and Ang is about to share them with you.  
• Spending time with your children is incredibly important, but what’s more important is being able to communicate effectively with them. Ang shares her top tips on how to communicate with the younger generation.
• While you’re busy looking out for your children, what you might miss is that they are looking out for you too. For this reason, Ang explains why it’s crucial to show your children that you are not invincible and how being vulnerable around them will encourage them to be vulnerable around you.  

BEST MOMENTS

“The flipside of spending time with your children is that you also need to give yourself time too.”

“It can be extremely difficult to communicate when there is friction.”

“It's an essential part of parenting that you look after yourself too. You can only be the best for someone else if you are the best version of you.”

• There are so many myths and urban legends around the topic of divorce and rights from a legal standpoint. Ang invites Phil to put the record straight and separate fact from fiction.

“Compromise is crucial. Without it, it’s impossible to reach a positive conclusion.”

Ang has been having a few technical difficulties with the podcast in recent weeks and has spent quite a bit of time trying to overcome them. Whilst it was initially getting her down, with the help of some friends, she powered through, after realising why she started the show in the first place - to spread positivity. Inspired by these events, Ang has dedicated this week's episode to managing your time and random acts of kindness, to help you realise that what you need the most, might be right in front of you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Our lives can become so busy with ‘stuff’ that we sometimes don’t have the time to stop and realise what we’re doing. When Ang’s working hours got in the way of her spending time with her children she decided to do a time audit and reevaluate where, and with whom, she spends her time. 

• We all have a habit of saying ‘yes’ to everything. Either out of kindness, or from a fear of letting others down. However, as Ang has discovered, and explains, saying ‘no’ can have huge benefits to you and those around you.

• How often do you stop to ‘smell the roses’? Ang has realised how there are many thing in her life that she should be grateful for, but how they are easily missed if we don’t take a moment to acknowledge them.

• Something that hit home for Ang when her friends helped her  fix her podcast issues is that kindness is free. But more than that, it makes you feel good as well as the person you’re helping. Ang reflects on this and shares the many simple ways you can bring a little joy to someone's life. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Time becomes more valuable the more you realise it’s running out.”

“Saying no will create the space that you need to say yes to the things that nourish you and make you feel good.”

“Forgive yourself for a past mistake and remind yourself that you are doing the best that you can.”

Unfortunately, divorce and legal drama go hand in hand. Whilst some people manage to facilitate an amicable separation, it is incredibly rare. As for Ang, she found herself in a legal battle that raged on for almost 2 years. In this week's show Ang is recounting the beginning of her legal journey. After 2 years, 8 court hearings and hundreds of letters Ang became an expert, so much so, that she took the unusual, and brave, decision to represent herself. So, get your legal pad out and prepare to take notes, because this episode is packed with practical tips and advice for those who need it most. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Whilst Ang recommends trying to get through your divorce without entering the courtroom, she understands, as in her case, that this is just not possible sometimes. But, as she shares her turbulent experience, Ang looks back at the positives that came from it. 
• What Ang wasn’t expecting during her legal ordeal was the lies, anger and callousness that came not just from her ex partner but his legal team. Understanding that this was just a tactic to intimidate her, ang developed strategies to overcome these attacks, which she explains here. 
• As most people do when they find themselves in legal difficulties, Ang sought the help of a solicitor. However, she soon realised that this may not have been the right move for her. She details her experience and how you can learn from it.  
• Ang’s first day in court was a shock to her system. She was expecting honesty, impartiality and mediation. But she was met with something very different. Something she wasn’t prepared for. She shares her experience here so that you will know exactly what to expect. 

BEST MOMENTS

“During a divorce you have to fight. For your children, your freedom, your future and to regain your power.”

“Be very careful who you entrust the outcome of your future with and be doubly careful when there are children involved.”

“Speak to people that have experienced this, learn from them, if you don’t, you’ll be setting yourself up for a longer, harder road than necessary.”

This week Ang is diving into the subject of childcare, in its various forms. Moving from co-parenting to single parenting comes with many challenges. But it also comes with many logistical changes that aren’t always apparent when you are first going through the process of divorce. The biggest of these is, who will look after your children when you and your partner are not available? In this episode, Ang breaks down the many childminding challenges she encountered and how she worked through to find solutions that worked for everyone

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In a marriage when you are unable to collect your children from school, your partner can do it. However this is not always the case once you have been through a divorce. Ang recollects the many aspects of her life that were affected by this change and how she overcame them.
• Reluctantly, Ang advertised for a childcarer. And, luckily, she found an angel. She talks about coming to this decision and the unexpected joy it brung to both her and her children.
• Once Ang recovered from her divorce and started dating again she realised that leaving her children with different babysitters every week was both expensive and unsettling. So, she wrestled with the idea of leaving them home alone. She discusses her thought process and the benefits of the decision she made.

BEST MOMENTS

“The right carer doesn’t just look after your children, they give you the gift of knowing your children are safe.”

“Sometimes we need somebody that isn’t us to show us what to do.”

“When you’re a single parent your time with your children becomes more precious. Make the most of it.”
