Introducing Now What? — Take It to the Group Chat.
Your stories, shared anonymously on the podcast. Dating, separation, money-what you’ve got right and wrong. A space to get advice, share a laugh and hear from other single mums navigating their own “now what?” chapter.

Share your story


15 minutes maximum.


Selected stories may be edited and will be shared anonymously on the podcast. Listeners can comment on episodes, and stories will also be shared in the Now What Podcast private group chat for additional advice and discussion. Some may also be shared on social media to invite further perspectives and conversation.


Choose one topic per recording. (Because these are short, 15-minute episodes, you’re welcome to send multiple recordings on different topics.)


Your story could cover dating, separation, navigating friendships, boundaries, living arrangements, mistakes or something that makes your life work.


You don’t need a polished story or a happy ending. You can still be in the middle of it.


Maybe you’re struggling to navigate something and want other perspectives. Or maybe you’ve finally figured out something that challenged you and can’t wait to share it with other single mums going through the same thing.


Share a little background, what happened, and what you’ve learned—or what you’re still figuring out. Include any question you’d like to take to the group chat.


Honest accounts of difficult relationships are welcome. Keep the focus on your experience, its impact and the conversation you want to open up, rather than naming and shaming an ex.


Record somewhere quiet using your phone’s voice recorder. Headphones with a clear microphone can help—check a short test recording first. Email the audio file to nowwhatpodcast.stories@gmail.com.


Leave out real names and identifying details about children and other people. Your name won’t be published, but your voice may be recognisable.


Please include written confirmation that you consent to your recording being edited and shared on the podcast, in the private group chat and potentially on social media.


I’ll do my best to get to every submission, but not every recording will be published. If yours can’t be included, I’ll try to get back to you and explain why.
