TWR 349: Overcoming Winter Blues: Your Single Mom Ultimate Survival Guide

Are the winter blues hitting you harder as a single mom?

 

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, I explore why winter can feel especially challenging for single moms and share practical strategies to not just survive but thrive during these darker months. 

 

From managing kids’ indoor energy alone to dealing with post-holiday emotional dips and financial pressure, I break down why winter affects single moms differently and offer three actionable steps to transform this season into a catalyst for growth. Drawing from my own experience navigating winter as a single mom, I explain how to create a morning light routine, develop a winter reflection practice, and maintain meaningful connections even when you feel like isolating.
