  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 therapy


    One 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.
