- 277 - What a Divorce Attorney Wants Every Parent to Know About Divorce | Diana Romanov
What does a divorce attorney wish more parents understood before making decisions they may have to live with for years?
Divorce can change your relationship, finances, family—and the way your children experience their world.
Diana Romanov has seen divorce from several sides. She witnessed her parents’ difficult divorce and custody conflict beginning when she was six, later experienced divorce herself, and today works as a divorce attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist helping families navigate separation and conflict.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Diana joins Irina Shehovsov for a candid conversation about the legal, emotional, and parenting sides of divorce.
Together, they explore relationship patterns, people-pleasing, what children absorb during parental conflict, and why decisions made in anger today can have consequences years from now.
Diana also shares practical guidance on choosing a divorce attorney, navigating high-conflict situations, caring for yourself while parenting, and making decisions based on more than the emotions of the moment.
You’ll learn:
• What to look for when choosing a divorce attorney
• What children may absorb during parental conflict
• Why relationship patterns can repeat after divorce
• Why staying together “for the children” can be complicated
• How emotionally driven decisions can create future regret
• How self-care affects the way you show up as a parent
• Why compassion and strong boundaries can coexist
• Why divorce can be a chapter without becoming your whole story
One of Diana’s most important reminders is to think beyond today’s fight.
Your children may one day understand much more about what happened—and how their parents handled one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
And if life feels like it’s crashing right now, keep going.
This is a chapter. It isn’t the whole book.

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 - 34min - 276 - Making Safer Food Choices for Your Family | Jordan Robinson
What if making safer food choices for your family didn’t require hours of research—or finding out about a food recall after it was already too late?
For busy parents, especially single parents already carrying countless responsibilities, keeping up with food recalls, ingredients, health information, and changing food safety alerts can feel like one more thing to worry about.
Jordan Robinson understands that challenge from both sides. Raised by a hardworking single mom, he grew up watching her make decisions about the health and well-being of their family with limited time and resources. It wasn’t until Jordan became a father himself that he fully understood how much responsibility his mother had carried.
Those early experiences, combined with his background in cybersecurity and technology, eventually helped inspire Jordan to create Anxin, a food safety app designed to help individuals and families make safer, more informed food choices.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Jordan shares how his childhood shaped his mission and why he believes families need easier access to reliable food safety information. We explore what he calls the “transmission gap”—the time between a food safety issue or recall and when people actually hear about it—as well as the “confusion gap” created by conflicting health information, social media, advertising, and online opinions.
Together, we explore how technology can make food safety information easier to access, how parents can become more informed without adding more overwhelm to their lives, and why Jordan believes better information can lead to more confident decisions about what we put on our tables.
You’ll learn:
• Why food recalls can be easy for busy families to miss
• How parents can become more aware of food safety without constantly monitoring the news
• What Jordan calls the “transmission gap” in food safety information
• How conflicting health advice creates a “confusion gap” for consumers
• Why informed food choices can help parents make decisions with greater confidence
• How Jordan’s cybersecurity background influenced his approach to food safety
• How the Anxin app brings information from multiple sources together
• Why food insecurity became an important part of Jordan’s mission
• How the app helps users locate food banks in their communities
• What growing up with a single mom taught Jordan about sacrifice, resilience, and caring for a family
One of Jordan’s most meaningful reflections is that he didn’t fully recognize everything his mother was doing for him while he was growing up.
It took becoming a parent himself to understand the time, energy, and sacrifice behind the everyday choices she made.
That perspective now connects with a larger purpose: using the technology skills Jordan developed throughout his career to help individuals and families access information that can support safer food decisions.
Whether you’re a single parent trying to make healthy choices on a busy schedule, a parent concerned about food recalls and food safety, or simply someone who wants to feel more informed about the food you consume, this conversation offers a practical look at how better access to information can help families make more confident choices.

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 - 27min - 275 - Raising Confident, Resilient Kids After Divorce | Renaye Thornborrow
What if confidence isn’t something children are born with—but something they can learn?
For single parents navigating divorce, separation, or major family changes, one of the biggest worries can be: How is this affecting my child?
Renaye Thornborrow believes children can develop the mindset skills they need to navigate change, build confidence, become more resilient, and eventually take responsibility for their own lives.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Renaye, founder of Adventures in Wisdom, shares how mindset coaching for kids can help children develop confidence, self-esteem, resilience, self-responsibility, and self-leadership from an early age.
Together, we explore why a child’s self-talk matters, how parents can help children develop empowering beliefs, and why preparing kids for adulthood sometimes means allowing them to make decisions, experience disappointment, and learn from their mistakes—without removing the love and support they need.
You'll learn:
• How to build confidence and self-esteem in children
• Mindset skills that can support kids through divorce and major life changes
• Why self-talk shapes what children believe about themselves
• How storytelling can help children develop emotional and mindset skills
• Why self-responsibility is so important when raising resilient kids
• How to let children make mistakes while still providing support
• Ways to encourage independence and better decision-making
• How phones and social media can affect children’s well-being
• What life coaching for kids looks like
• The difference between life coaching for children and counseling or therapyOne of Renaye’s most important parenting lessons is that ultimately, we are preparing our children to be on their own.
That doesn’t mean leaving them to figure everything out alone. It means gradually helping them take ownership of their thoughts, choices, responsibilities, and lives while knowing their family is still there to support them.
Whether you’re parenting after divorce, concerned about your child’s confidence or self-esteem, or simply want to raise confident, resilient children who are prepared for adulthood, this conversation offers practical insights and encouragement for starting young.

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 - 39min - 256 - Discipline Your Kids Without Losing Your Temper (Expert Advice)
Parenting isn’t about control — it’s about leadership. And for single parents carrying the weight of structure, discipline, and emotional stability alone, that distinction matters more than ever.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Irina Shehovsov sits down with Marine officer, author, and leadership expert OlaOlu Ogunyemi to explore how military leadership principles can transform the way we parent — without yelling, shaming, or power struggles.
OlaOlu shares how discipline and emotional intelligence can coexist, why authority doesn’t require intimidation, and how parents can lead their families with strength and compassion at the same time. Together, they unpack the difference between bossing and leading, how structure creates safety for children, and why calm consistency is more powerful than reactive control.
This episode is especially for single parents who:
• Feel exhausted from repeating themselves
• Struggle with yelling or emotional outbursts
• Want to raise resilient, confident children
• Crave structure without becoming rigid
• Are navigating parenting after divorce or separation
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
• Why yelling weakens leadership (even when it “works”)
• How to discipline without fear-based tactics
• The connection between emotional regulation and authority
• How military leadership translates to family life
• Practical ways to create respect without power struggles
• Why leadership begins with modeling emotional control
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can be both strong and soft, structured and compassionate — this episode offers a new lens.
You don’t have to parent from survival mode. You can lead your family with clarity, calm, and confidence.

If this episode stirred something deeper — about leadership, identity, or emotional resilience — Irina offers a supportive space to reconnect with yourself beyond overwhelm.

Through expert interviews and lived experiences, the show explores emotional health, resilience, and what becomes possible when you choose conscious leadership over chaos.
Mon, 16 Feb 2026 - 46min - 255 - From Anger to Growth: Healing Stress and Rage After Divorce
Anger after divorce isn’t just about your ex — and it’s not a flaw in your personality. When resentment, stress, and emotional reactions feel uncontrollable, it’s often because something deeper is happening beneath the surface. This episode is about understanding that truth — without blame or shame.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, anger and stress elimination expert Dr. Mort Orman shares powerful insights into why anger feels so overwhelming during and after divorce — and why trying to “manage” it often makes things worse. Drawing from decades of medical practice and emotional health work, Dr. Orman explains how anger is driven by internal beliefs and conditioning, not external circumstances.
This conversation isn’t about suppressing anger, venting it, or blaming others. It’s about learning how anger actually works, reclaiming your emotional power, and transforming stress into clarity, growth, and resilience — especially when co-parenting, navigating divorce, or rebuilding your life alone.
This episode is especially for single parents who feel triggered, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of resentment and reactivity — and want peace without pretending everything is fine.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why anger isn’t caused by your ex — or anyone else
• How beliefs and conditioning fuel emotional reactions
• Why trying to “control” anger often backfires
• How divorce intensifies stress and resentment
• The hidden cost of unresolved anger on health and relationships
• How emotional understanding leads to empowerment
• How anger can become a doorway to growth, not destruction
This episode is a reminder that anger isn’t your enemy — it’s information. And when you understand it, you regain choice, clarity, and control.

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 - 45min - 252 - Your Hormones Aren't Broken: Restoring Energy and Balance for Single Moms
Constant exhaustion, burnout, and feeling disconnected from your body aren’t just “part of being a single mom.” When you’re carrying everything alone, your body eventually speaks up — and this episode is about learning how to listen without shame or overwhelm.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, hormone practitioner Chelsea McLeod shares how busy moms — especially single mothers — can restore energy, balance hormones, and stop living in survival mode. After leaving a high-pressure corporate career and healing her own gut and hormone imbalances, Chelsea now helps women address the real root causes of fatigue, cravings, poor sleep, and burnout.
This conversation isn’t about extreme diets, rigid routines, or doing more. It’s about simple, sustainable shifts that support hormone balance — like sleep rhythms, nourishment, movement, and emotional regulation — even when life is full and unpredictable.
This episode is especially for single parents who feel exhausted, burnt out, or frustrated with their bodies, and want to feel steady, energized, and more like themselves again.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why burnout in single moms is often hormonal, not personal failure
• What’s really causing constant exhaustion and low energy
• Simple habits that support hormone balance without overwhelm
• How sleep, food, and movement impact your hormones
• Why emotional regulation affects cravings and weight
• How consistency — not perfection — leads to healing
This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken. Your body is communicating — and with the right support, energy and balance are possible again.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 - 30min - 251 - Are You Ready? Emergency Preparedness for Single Parents
Wildfires, blackouts, floods, and evacuations don’t come with much warning — and for single parents, the responsibility can feel overwhelming when you’re the only adult in charge. This episode is about turning fear into calm, clarity, and confidence.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Jennifer Heller, founder of Here Comes the Apocalypse, shares practical, realistic emergency preparedness guidance for families — especially single-parent households. After navigating California wildfires with young children, Jennifer realized how little useful, actionable information exists for parents and set out to change that.
This conversation isn’t about extreme prepping or living in fear. It’s about simple, doable steps that help you feel prepared and grounded — from organizing important documents and creating emergency communication plans to packing go-bags that actually make sense for real families.
This episode is especially for single parents who want peace of mind, not panic — and who want to know they’ve done what they can to protect their kids when life becomes unpredictable.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What single parents should prepare before the next emergency
• How to create a simple, realistic family emergency plan
• What to include (and rotate) in a go-bag
• How to communicate and reconnect if phones fail
• Why preparedness is a form of self-care
• How community support reduces stress in a crisis
This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to do everything — you just need a plan. Preparedness brings peace, and peace matters for you and your children.

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 - 30min - 250 - It Wasn't Autism: Navigating The Journey of Special Needs Parenting
She was told it was autism — but something didn’t feel right. In this episode, a mother shares how trusting her instincts led her beyond the diagnosis and into powerful advocacy for her child.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Michelle Choairy shares her journey as a mother navigating life with a child who has a rare genetic disorder called TBR1. Michelle opens up about the emotional toll of early diagnoses, the moment she realized it wasn’t autism, and what it really takes to advocate for your child in a complex medical and educational system.
Through honesty and lived experience, Michelle reminds parents why trusting your instincts matters — especially when the path you’re on looks nothing like what you expected.
This conversation is especially for parents raising children with special needs or complex diagnoses who are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted while trying to do the “right” thing for their child.
🤍 Reconnect With You
If this episode stirred something in you — not just about parenting, but about you — Irina offers a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with who you are beyond roles, responsibilities, and survival mode.

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 - 37min - 249 - Raised by a Single Mom: What I Wish Every Single Parent Knew
If you’re a single parent feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly wondering if you’re doing enough — this episode is for you. 💛
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Rory Paquette shares what it was really like growing up in a single-parent home, raised by a single mom. Speaking as an adult child, Rory reflects on the moments that stayed with him most — not the stress, money worries, or imperfect days, but the presence, emotional safety, and love that shaped who he became.
This conversation isn’t about parenting strategies or doing things “right.”
It’s about the emotional weight single parents carry, how children experience that energy, and why healing the woman behind the role matters more than we often realize.
If you’ve ever worried that your exhaustion, stress, or self-doubt might be affecting your child, this episode offers reassurance and perspective — and a reminder that your presence matters more than perfection.
💡 In this episode, you’ll hear:
• What children of single parents actually remember most
• How stress and overwhelm show up in a child’s emotional world
• The small moments that help kids feel safe, loved, and supported
• What Rory wishes his mom had known during the hardest seasons
• Why showing up imperfectly still makes a powerful impact
This episode is a love letter to single moms and single dads doing their best with what they have. You may not see it now, but your effort matters more than you think — and your kids notice more than they say.
