Welcome to the second part of Ang’s two part special on Christmas. There are so many traditions around Christmas and New Year and we always feel like we have to adhere to them to please others or because ‘that’s what Christmas should be’. However, in this episode Ang proposes a new way to approach Christmas and New Year. From doing away with New Year's resolutions to being selfish over the holidays, Ang is giving you the tools to start some new Christmas traditions and to make 2025 the best year yet.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Christmas is different after a divorce, whether you want it to be or not. It took Ang a little while to work this out, but as she explains here, planning is the key to having the Christmas you want.
You can’t control what other people do but, you can control how you respond. Ang talks about the concept of ‘Just Let Them’ and how it can help you cope with negative behaviours from others so that they don’t spoil this special time of year.
Everyone makes a New Year's resolution, but how many of us really stick to them? Ang proposes an alternative “A Last Year Funeral”. She explains this concept, of letting go of the negativity in your life, and how it can make your new year the best yet.
Ang shares the details of her Christmas gift to you and how it can help you through the festive period and move into the new year with a more positive mindset.

BEST MOMENTS

“Don’t look for others to make your life great, make it great yourself.”

“You must live with the determination and awareness to move forward with a different mindset.”

“Even if you believe in fate and destiny, you must take proactive action to make it happen.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside.

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain, lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
