This week on the show Ang is joined by Shez Skeikh, father, content creator, breathwork coach with over 1 million followers on social media. When Shez welcomed his son into the world he was overjoyed, however, two short weeks later he suddenly found himself as a single parent. But, determined to make everything ok for his son, he began a journey of reflection and self healing. This new mindset then led him to begin his TikTok account WANAP TV where he shares messages of positivity and love. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• During Covid Shez wanted to do something to help those nearest and dearest to him to make them feel a little more positive. This led him to start creating content for instagram, but he soon realised that his message was travelling further than he intended. He talks about his mission and how it has grown. 
• Shez’s initial joy at becoming a father was marred by the fact he became a single parent just two weeks after his son was born. This was an incredibly challenging time for him. He talks about how he overcame these challenges and how he now feels looking back on that time. 
• Ang and Shez discuss the importance of having the best relationship possible with your ex partner for the benefit of your children and, an important question you should ask yourself, do you hate your ex more than you love your children?
• The trauma of divorce is something that will stay with you for a long time. However, it will stay with you even longer if you try and brush it under the carpet. Shez talks about the importance of working on yourself and shares his best practices. 

BEST MOMENTS

“We need to spread positive energy and love because, right now, the world is crying out for it.”

“Sometimes you need to remind yourself that you're ok and you can keep going.”

“What are you doing that you could be doing differently?”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
