Solo Parent Podcast
This week we’re discussing Conquering Loneliness During the Holidays.
For solo parents, the holidays can magnify loneliness in surprising ways. Maybe you are watching your child leave for the other home on Christmas morning, sitting in a quiet house that used to feel full. Maybe you are surrounded by family and noise, yet painfully aware that you are the only one without a partner by your side. Maybe old traditions feel broken or impossible now, and you are not sure how to make new ones that actually feel like you.
Today, we cover three main points:
- Naming and normalizing holiday loneliness
- Moving toward connection, even when it feels awkward
- Creating and reframing traditions that fit your life now
In this episode, Marissa Lee, author and single parent, joins Robert and Elizabeth to discuss the fact that these moments matter because they press on grief, expose the ache of what has been lost, and can easily convince you that you are the odd one out in a world that seems to be celebrating.
