Ever wondered if having a baby on your own would leave you with enough brain power to string a sentence together? Well, press play and find out as solo mum by choice, Rachel Corbett shares the highs, the lows and the "How the hell am I actually managing to do this?" reality of solo parenting.
Ever said to someone: “I’m solo parenting this weekend”?
I get it. Going from two sets of hands to one is a serious shock to the system… but it’s also not quite the same thing.
When you’re doing it on your own, there’s no handover coming. Ever.
No backup if things go sideways. Ever.
No one else there (even over the phone) taking responsibility for figuring things out with you.
But weirdly, I think that can make things simpler.
Not logistically, sure.
But cleaner. More straightforward. Way less emotionally complicated.
So this is a bit of a reality check… but also a bit of reassurance if you’ve ever said it yourself and immediately thought, “Oh shit, should I not have said that?”
You’re fine. I promise.
This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.
I pay my respects to Elders past and present.

I thought I’d be cleaning vomit all night… nope
Everyone warns you about how brutal the sickness phase is.
The daycare germs.
The sleepless nights.
The absolute chaos of trying to keep a tiny human alive while they’re falling apart.
And yes… some of that is very real.
But what nobody really prepares you for is the moment it changes.
When your kid can actually tell you what’s wrong.
When they understand what you’re asking.
When you’re suddenly not guessing your way through it anymore.
This was one of those moments and I genuinely could not believe what was happening.

The near misses that haunt you
There are some parenting moments that happen in a split second… and then live in your nervous system forever.
This episode is about one (or maybe a couple) of those.
A trip to the park, a child hanging off a bridge with one hand and a memory from the baby days that still makes me feel physically ill when I think about it.
Nothing terrible happened, but it so easily could have.
And there's no guilt quite like the guilt of a near miss.
This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.
