Lyn welcomes Amanda Carroll, a Single Mom Dating Coach and founder of The Single Mom Collective. Amanda shares her inspiring journey from feeling ruined after a painful divorce to rebuilding her life and finding love again. They delve into the challenges single moms face in dating, particularly the damaging effects of the purity culture and societal expectations.

Amanda also emphasises the importance of healing, self-worth, and pursuing personal dreams before seeking a partner. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The discussion highlights the damaging effects of the purity culture, which instills shame in women regarding their sexuality and self-worth. It's essential for single moms to heal from these beliefs to build healthy relationships.

Single moms are encouraged to focus on their own personal growth, financial independence, and self-worth. This empowerment allows them to make better choices in partners and model healthy relationships for their children.

The conversation emphasises that children benefit from witnessing their parents in healthy, egalitarian (equal rights and opportunities) relationships. This modeling helps break cycles of unhealthy dynamics and teaches children about love and partnership.

Struggles and challenges, such as divorce, can lead to personal transformation. Embracing these experiences will result in becoming a stronger, more resilient individual, ultimately leading to better relationships.

BEST MOMENTS

"I realised that my value isn't based on whether or not I was pure. My value is based on that I'm a woman that can love."

"The best revenge is your success. Instead of focusing on being bitter and angry from your past, let's go be successful."

"There's something wrong with it instead of a beautiful way to connect with your partner."

"You can't just think you're going to be complete because you're with someone else instead of pursuing your own dreams."

"The struggle to find love gives you the ability to have it. It is exactly the struggle to rebuild your life post-divorce that defines you."
