We get real about the emotional rollercoaster of finding yourself post-separation, the unexpected complexities of dating as a single mum, and the societal expectations that often leave us feeling like we can’t be sexy, desirable, or free while also being devoted mothers. Rachel & Montana share openly about navigating the grief of not having another child yet, to the deeply healing relationships they are both now in, and how building healthy independence, strong boundaries, and emotional safety has changed everything. We also unpack the guilt and judgment that can come with dating as a solo parent, how motherhood can deepen our connection to our bodies and pleasure, and why being loved (and yes, f*cked properly!) is a gift not just for us—but for our kids too. This is one of those expansive, raw, laugh-out-loud and deeply validating conversations that reminds you how powerful, complex, and worthy we are as women and mothers. Whether you’re single, dating, or redefining what family looks like for you—this one will land deep. Hosted on Acast.
