Solo Nanay The Podcast

If ever you need a real talk here it is:

This is a kind reminder to everyone who are suffering or challenged with life circumstances.

I don't know about you but wherever you are right now, whatever you might be feeling or experiencing (especially if it is a negative one), please do not drag your loved ones or the real concern people around you with it.

It is not their responsibility to make you happy, successful, and fulfilled. It is yours.

I know it is difficult to hear but that's just it.

Have you been struggling which childcare support you will be needing? As a Solo Nanay, we have all been there. Sometimes, it is difficult to trust our kids to others and at the same time, it's also challenging to carry everything!

We already have so much in plate, Nanay. This time, let's consider what type of childcare that is most realistic in our situation so that we will be able to still take the role of being a parent and a provider to our kids.

In this episode, Eli and I will share some of the childcare options that we considered throughout our parenting journey and share to you what works with us! I hope that you too!

This is one of the questions popping on my mind from the past events I have been to and challenges after challenges.

I am a working Solo Mom and if you are too, you can definitely relate that corporate is really challenging. I am heading a department and as any organization, we also experience challenge after challenge. From the past few weeks, I have been feeling exhausted and it is not just about work, it involves some other personal struggles where I sometimes question myself if I really can make it or if I should quit. But I know that I should remember why I started anyway and help me realize how important my role is to the organization, to my family, and even to myself.

In this episode, I'll be sharing the process I had to go through that might help you identify if you are really taking care of yourself. Things to observe and behavior you need to change.

Some people were raised to be ready for career success while we were kids. For others, we might put the work to be prepared for our life. But let's be honest, there's no one really had a a training or even too prepared to take the role of a mother, what more being a Solo Mother!

With this, and with all the overwhelming expectations and responsibilities (even hormones!) we had to carry over time, we no longer remember clearly what our dreams were, even who we were, and what or who we wanted to be in the first place!

So we get into this loop of checking in and out of the day, making a living to provide for our kids and taking all the responsibilities we can in order to survive rather than thrive.

In the first ever episode for Solo Nanay The Podcast Season 3, I'll share ways and questions I asked myself (and answers hardly!) to process my internal unconsciousness that eventually helped me get ready for my future self.

I suggest you get a pen and paper after this episode and ask yourself these questions to get ready for the future you:

• Where are you now in your life that you dreamed to be?
• Are you happy? Why yes and why no?
• What are the things you are willing to take to get to your dream Solo Nanay life?
• Are you ready to forgive?
• Are you ready to receive?

We can all agree that being a Solo Nanay really makes you consider a lot of things when looking for love, but how you find the right man in the first place?
For sure choosing the right man for you is not a piece of cake. It's not as easy as choosing what to wear in the morning or deciding what to get for breakfast, it has to start from you. You have to know what you want, what you need in a man, and he should be able to accept you--all of you despite your flaws, your baggage, and everything that comes with you.

In this episode, I will be having a conversation with my guest co-host, Erika Rodica and explore our thoughts on what matters most when choosing the right partner.

We all have different ways of raising our kids, especially during the most crucial stages of growing up.

Taking care of your children is hard as it is when you're physically there, but it's even harder when you're apart from them. Aside from dealing with the sadness of not having them at arms length, you also have to make sure they feel just as much love when you're there. So how do we even do it? How do we establish a strong relationship with our children if work permits us to fly somewhere else? Paano natin mapaparamdam sa kanila na nanay pa din nila tayo and we still care for them?

Catch today's episode to find out with my guest, Nanay Shiela Hermida, a single mother for 12 years and working as an expat since 2015 in UAE. She is also the Founder of the Solo Parents Philippines Official with over 18,000 members - a solo-parent advocacy group that aims to empower solo moms and dads how to be self reliant, self-sufficient, and to embrace self-love! 💛

Being a new mom can get really scary, especially when you're a Solo Nanay. You don't know what to do, or even how to start. The long nights can be exhausting, and sometimes the stress really gets to you! 

But take it from me, it's what makes every little moment memorable when you look back at it. It's okay to be scared, and it's normal to wonder if you're doing the right thing. What's important is you're doing the best you can for you and your kid. Have a little faith in yourself, Nanay.  Let's talk more about it on this week's episode!

Being a solo Nanay requires you to be strong, independent and dauntless. We always have to put on a brave front, especially for our kids.
Oftentimes, we think we don't need a hand because we're so used to doing everything by ourselves, that we fail to see that we need someone to hold our hands too. Having the courage to face your mistakes and lapses is what makes you a stronger person and a stronger Nanay.

On my Part 2 conversation with Farah, she shared how vulnerability serve as a strength not just to us but also to our kids. And yes, it is okay to be vulnerable sometimes. It's okay to make mistakes, and it's more than okay to have someone to support you especially during hard times.

Where do you really wanna be and what are the things you can do and are willing to do and feel to get there? And why allowing yourself feeling comfortable with being uncomfortable is a good sign?
These are the things I will be tackling about in this episode.

How confident are you as a Nanay? Are you proud of yourself the way you have to be? Are you embracing and accepting the 100% you?

On my next interview session, I am very positive that with my guest, Kelly Tablan, a confident and positive Solo Nanay of a 13-year-old boy will give you an answer to these questions. She will share a different perspective on how you should see yourself and change your outlook in life, especially how you perceive yourself as a person. And for sure, you will have a better perspective on how your outlook in yourself affects your parenting style.

How do we really balance our lives as a Solo? Is there such a formula? I think Erika said it so well. It is a lifestyle. 

A lifestyle that we have to embrace especially if we are all harmoniously balancing our dream as an individual and giving the best life to our kids. In the Part 2 of my conversation with Erika, she shares her own struggle as a Solo Nanay (Single Mom), as an entrepreneur, and as a lover. She learned this the hard way: there are time to push forward and there are also time to stop, step back, and let your God works His ways.

Is there such thing as balance?

As a woman and as a Solo Nanay (Single Mom), how easy could it be for us to achieve what we want, ace that business, and climb that corporate ladder?

We are made to be strong and we have the power to choose what we want to do for ourselves without compromising so much of the life we have with our kid.

Catch  my special guest Erika Rodica, a Solo Nanay (Single Mom) Girl Boss and owner of EIKA Swimwear on this first ever Solo Nanay interview and learn how you can do it!

How hard would it be for us to embrace our unique true story because of thinking that people will judge us?

In this episode, I took a lot of courage to share my story so you as a Solo would also be able to take courage and bravery to move on from your past, and embrace your next chapter with your kid/s.

"Run Your Own Race." A post I read from a Meta friends timeline which resonates so much to my current situation as a Solo. Have you ever been with your thoughts recently thinking about crazy things such as: "I should be here now if only...", "I've been wanting this but...", "They are really good, I wish I can do what the are doing"? I've been there for a long time. Until now, I am trying to fix that mindset and focus on what I can really control by embracing where I am going instead of looking at other races.

What is the scariest thing that you as a Solo Nanay could ever done to yourself?

Take time to deep dive into this question, Nanay. More of it on this special Halloween episode to all Solo Nanay!

Yes we are all "Solo" Nanays but even we are, it doesn't mean that we don't need a support group that would lift us up and understand where we are really in this journey. In this episode, I'll be sharing my experience with a group of Solo Parents who helped Solo Nanays like us. I'd like to also pivot here that we have a Solo Nanay group that is here for you in your self discorvery!

I knew that dating is a gamble and not everyone in dating apps (even in person) are genuinely looking for a "date". Most men/women are there for fun or chill. I can't blame them. We have our own perspectives and choices but one this is for sure for me, having a standard is a must! Do not rush into something or someone just because it's your "only" chance. Your standards represent how you respect yourself and the people you care about.

Check more about it here! I had so much fun recording this new episode!

Have you experienced a friend who tried to compare your kid to their kids or other kids? Have you experienced a family member or any relatives trying to teach you things about "right and proper parenting" (unsolicited) and sometimes telling you that the way you do your parenting is not the like the usual way? Well, if that is the case, you should listen to this episode and know how you will deal with them.

As a Solo there are for sure things that you have to be prepared on. Knowing the brutal truth and reality of you situation is important. Sharing in this episode the realities I had to know and embrace as a Solo. I hope you could relate too!

For this episode, I’d like to deep dive on how mindfulness has helped me in my daily grind in life without compromising so much my mental, physical, and emotional health, still be present with my kid, and manage to overcome self-sabotage.

Listen now!

I have been meditating for almost two years now and it shared a lot of benefits into my life. It made me think clearly about all my intentions as a Nanay and has helped me get through stressful situations.💯  In the episode, I will share with you how and why meditation is helping me raise a kid as a Solo.

Are you a full time Solo Nanay and a full-time working from home Solo?

Juggling things between work related concerns and home chores at the same time are quite hectic especially if you are alone with your kid (even not!).  I feel you and I got you. Do you know there's always a way to make things (at least) bearable while working from home this pandemic and making sure you spend  time harmoniously with your kid?

If this is what you are looking for, this episode is for you! I will share the things I did to my son to be more productive and still not compromising so much of our time together.

Ps: I was able to work out things with the person I will be mentioning in the podcast episode and everything seems to be more manageable again!

We are all experiencing life changes, whether your kid is finally going to a nursery school, a break up, a new relationship, transferring to new home, new family dynamics, resigning from work or transferring to your new work, and even adjusting to new life you choose. But the question is whether the change is negative or positive, how do you deal with it? How will you deal with it?

In this episode, I will be sharing three mindset you can muster if you are experiencing major life changes.

I hope this is something you need to hear today. :)

Previously, we have discussed the three Super Habits which are (1) Waking Up an hour or 2 hours before your kid so you can have your morning routine and get your HITT done, (2) Prioritizing your tasks by identifying your HITT (High Impacting Tasks Today) it could be your top 3 or 5 HITT. By having the list, you are enabling yourself to work on your day and win it and at the same time, you will have enough time for other spontaneous things for the day especially with your kids, and (3) Practicing Mindfulness through meditation as it is very important to work on your inner peace to manage your life. As we continue the Super Habits you can Muster as A Solo, I will be sharing more secrets to slay the Solo Nanay life!
