Solo Parent Podcast

This week we’re discussing Approaching the New Year with Stability.

When life feels chaotic in the middle of already full days, solo parents can slip into survival mode just trying to keep everything from falling apart. That constant reactivity wears down our nervous systems, impacts how we show up for our kids, and leaves little room to breathe or think clearly. This conversation focuses on why stability matters so deeply for single parent families and how small, intentional choices can create steadiness at home, in our minds, and in our daily rhythms. Robert Beeson and Elizabeth Cole are joined by author and single parent Marissa Lee to explore practical ways stability can grow even when life feels unpredictable.

Today, we cover three main points:

• Creating stability at home starts with support.
• A stable home begins with a steady mind.
• Intentional rhythms anchor chaotic days.

Stability does not require perfection or rigid control. Small, repeatable patterns build trust over time. Presence matters more than length of time. A regulated parent creates a more regulated environment. When expectations are realistic and rhythms are clear, both parents and kids gain room to breathe.
