  • Love the content, hate the title!

    Love this podcast so much, it was such a critical resource for me in my planning and research ahead of making the decision to become an SMBC. I just wish the title and intro wasn’t so dated and was a bit more inclusive (e.g. gender neutral and less heteronormative). That really puts me off and has precluded me from sharing the show with friends etc. Truly so grateful for this resource though, thank you Alisha!

  • Finding Comfort in Shared Experiences

    This podcast is truly wonderful. I started from the first episode and have listened to a few so far. I’m in the early stages of my journey to becoming a solo mum, and many of the past experiences, pathways and challenges have resonated with me. It’s a beautiful, comforting and meaningful resource - thank you.

  • What about the children?

    There are no questions about the impact on the children. I really encourage you to ask questions about how the Mother will support her child/ren to understand their paternal heritage and how they plan to address the impacts of growing up without a father.
