Description
Are you a mama that often solo parents while your partner works away? Are you struggling to keep it together, and balancing all the things on your own? Do you have a hard time setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care? Do you wonder if more joy, peace, and fulfillment is possible for you in this season of life?
The Solo & So Well podcast is a landing spot for all the mamas out there struggling in their solo parenting roles. If that’s you, I want you to know you are safe, seen, and supported here. This is a judgement-free, real talk, value packed, and encouraging community. You are not alone in this season of hardship, and you will come out the other side, brighter and stronger than ever!
I’m your host Heidi Chirkoff, I know what you need, because I needed it too. It wasn’t that long ago that I was having an extremely hard time in the day-to-day - with two small boys, one on the way, a strained marriage, and loss of identity/purpose. I felt alone, I felt overwhelmed, I felt resentful, I felt like I was failing as a mother, and I felt guilty for feeling the way I felt. At the time, I didn’t know how to get “unstuck”, but I knew I needed to start making some changes, for myself, my kids, and my marriage – and that it was up to me, and only me, to start making them.
In my desperate search for solutions, I found some things that worked, and some that didn’t. And now that I’ve come out on the other side, I want to share everything I’ve learned. Here at Solo & So Well, we focus on you, the Mom. Even though it may not feel like it right now, you are the anchoring presence in your home, you are the glue, the tone setter, the gatekeeper, the one who knows all, and has actual superpowers. Don’t let that pressure you, let it empower you. A better life starts with you! When you start to rise – the whole family will rise with you.
My mission with this podcast is to be a guiding light, that shows other mamas the way to more joy, peace, and fulfillment - TODAY. It’s time to stop living in auto pilot, in struggle and survival mode – and start taking ownership of your life, one that is full of vibrancy and purpose. You were made for more! I know it, and you know it! We are going to shift you from always having life happen to you – to life starting to happen for you.
Big change starts with itty bitty, consistent, daily action.
Every time you press play on this podcast, the weight of it all gets lighter.
So let’s get started!

Do you find yourself scrolling Instagram, comparing your life to the perfect grids, the always happy families, and immaculate kitchens - and it makes you feel less than? You think man, they have it all, and I'm a hot mess over here! Do you see Moms at the park or at playgroup with seemingly endless amounts of patience and energy and you wonder why they have it, and you don't..Comparison puts us in a place of lack, of less then. It kills our confidence, robs us peace and joy, and can stunt our growth. When we are so busy looking outward, thinking about all the things we don't have, we forget to be grateful for the things we do have. And we really do have so much to be grateful for. Gratitude is a powerful energy to be in.We see a glimpse of someone else's life, and we forget it's only one piece to the puzzle. We make it up in our head they are "perfect", they have it all figured out. They are doing it “right”, there for I am doing “wrong”. When in reality, we are all just doing the best we can. And we have no idea what's going on for that Mom, behind closed doors, below the surface, beyond the highlight reel...right?We have to stop comparing our worst moments to someone else's best moments.In todays episode we chat about how comparison might be killing your confidence in motherhood, and then I give you three super practical ways to combat it.Because we have enough going on already... and we don't need to be worrying about what everyone else is doing, how/when they are doing it!It's time to shift your energy, build trust in yourself, grow your confidence, and lower stress and anxiety.So, if you're ready, go ahead and press play!Always wishing you well, xo Heidi5 Ways to Win the Day FREE Resource https://heidichirkoff.myflodesk.com/5waystowintheday'He'll Be Home Soon' (My Children's book to help littles cope with Dad being away) https://a.co/d/9kkN9fG Daily Gratitude Journal https://a.co/d/eBGbYbt Book FREE 15 Minute Discovery Call - Life & Wellness Coachinghttps://calendly.com/sowellcoaching/15minContact Me Directlyhello@heidichirkoff.comRecommended Fitness App for Busy Mamas https://sweat.onelink.me/gNkX/qpvfkssx

Do you have resentment brewing inside of you? Do you wonder if all these symptoms are just part and parcel of being a Mom? There might be more going on for you, Mama.Burnout is a real thing. And so many Moms out there are suffering through it- thinking it's "normal" to feel that way, given the the season you are in.

Hey Mama! Have you been feeling a pull to prioritize fitness more? Have you worked out consistently in the past, and already know how much in benefits you, in so many ways? Have you never really worked out, so you don't even know where to start? Do you struggle with finding the time and energy to fit it in now, as a busy Mom?I've been there! I know it can be hard to workout consistently, when you are busy taking care of everyone else's needs. I know it's tough when you are in baby/toddler season, and a spouse gone at work a lot of the time. I know how it can get way down on the priority list. And I also know, how much good it does us, when we are prioritizing it. Regular exercise and moving our body can help in so many ways. It can increase our mood, and energy levels. It can help calm our minds, and regulate our nervous systems. It supports our physical, mental, emotional health and well- being. When we take care of ourselves in this way, we are able to take better care of others, of our families, our kids. I think todays episode is going to be the encouragement and support you've been waiting for to get started! If you know of another mama that could benefit from this episode, please send it to them!

Hey, lovely listeners! It's Heidi Chirkoff, your companion on this journey of self-discovery in another episode of Solo & So Well. Today, let's dive into the deep waters of motherhood—specifically, the challenges of worry and mom guilt. I see you, fellow moms, in all your messy, raw, and incredible glory. You're doing the work, breaking cycles, and creating new paths for your family to thrive. I'm here to remind you how amazing you really are!In this episode, we're exploring the intricacies of worry and mom guilt—those emotions that sneak into our hearts at various points. I'll share insights into how they're both rooted in fear, how worry leans towards the future, while mom guilt often resides in the past. As moms, fear is natural; it's part of our biological wiring to protect and nurture our little ones.But here's the thing, my friend. While these emotions serve a purpose, they can also become overwhelming. Worry and mom guilt, when left unaddressed, trick us into thinking we're taking action when, in reality, we're stuck in a loop. Today, I'm sharing strategies to release that weight. Because guess what? You don't need that extra burden.Join me as I open up about my own struggles and share practical ways to tackle worry and mom guilt. We'll explore the power of addressing issues when they're small and learn to avoid the trap that keeps us from being present and taking meaningful action.This episode is an invitation to let go of what's holding you back so you can flourish in every season of your life.

The ONE THING I have to share with you today is going to that is going to rock your world - in the absolute best way! If mornings are a struggle for you, you are going to want to hear this.The one thing I have to share with you is so simple and so practical, and you need to start doing it today. This is especially if you have young kids, and especially if you solo parent. I dug my heels in and fought this thing for so long, and I want you to start doing this much sooner then I did! Because it really made such a difference for us. Mornings around here used to be a real struggle. I was waking up feeling already tapped out. And the way I was feeling in the morning, trinkled into the rest of the day, affecting every aspect, including bedtimes. I learned it was cycle that needed breaking.Today I am going to give you the one thing you need to break that cycle. I am going to give you the what, and I am also going to give you the how! This episode will include two very practical ways to start implementing this new habit TODAY. And trust me, you will want to start today! I know this episode is going to serve you and your family so so well.Always wishing you well, Heidi xo5 Ways to Win the Day FREE Resource https://heidichirkoff.myflodesk.com/5waystowintheday'He'll Be Home Soon' (My Children's book to help littles cope with Dad being away) https://a.co/d/9kkN9fG Daily Gratitude Journal https://a.co/d/eBGbYbt Book FREE 15 Minute Discovery Call - Life & Wellness Coachinghttps://calendly.com/sowellcoaching/15minContact Me Directlyhello@heidichirkoff.comRecommended Fitness App for Busy Mamas https://sweat.onelink.me/gNkX/qpvfkssx
