Raising boys on your own can feel overwhelming—but you are not alone.
In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide podcast, host Suzy Shaw talks with Pat Hankin, author of The Field Guide for Single Parents, about the real-life challenges and strengths of solo parenting. Drawing on insights from a community of more than 470,000 single parents, Pat shares practical advice on managing finances, building a reliable support network, navigating conflict with an ex-spouse, and helping boys grow into confident, respectful young men.
This honest conversation explores how single moms can move from overwhelm to confidence—one small step at a time.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Building a strong support network when parenting alone
• The financial realities of raising kids in two households
• Finding positive male role models for boys
• Managing high-conflict co-parenting situations
• Teaching boys respect, responsibility, and resilience
• Why “small steps” can make solo parenting more manageable
