When you’re parenting on your own, it’s easy to put yourself last. In this bitesize ex-tras episode, we explore why self-care during and after divorce isn’t a luxury, but a vital part of supporting both you and your children.
Kate Daly is joined by Oona Alexander, a leading parenting expert and divorced mum. Oona explains why prioritising yourself is like putting on your own oxygen mask first, and how this helps you stay emotionally available for your children.
She also shares practical, realistic ways to build self-care into everyday life, and offers reassurance on how to be kinder to yourself when self-critical thoughts start to creep in.
