The weight of being someone's only person
Description
This week’s question from Anthony goes straight for the jugular: “Do you ever think about your own mortality?”
Um… yes. Constantly.
In this episode, I talk about the creeping fear that comes with being a solo mum, knowing your kid only has you and wanting to be here long enough to see it all.
From my parents’ dementia battles to the late‑night “Am I doing too much?” spiral, I unpack what it’s like to balance survival, stress and the need to slow down.
This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.
I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
