This week, in a change to the regular program, Ang is going from interviewer to interviewee. Ang was recently a guest on the “Helping Teachers Thrive” podcast to discuss all things school and divorce. In this interview with host Tem, Ang shares her valuable insights and wisdom on how parents and teachers can support a child whose parents are going through a divorce. From warning signs in the classroom to sports days parent evenings and extra support services, Ang and Tem have you covered so that you can help your child successfully navigate through a difficult time.

BEST MOMENTS
“When going through a divorce, it’s really important that you communicate with the school and let them know what is happening in your children's lives.”
“Many behaviours in the classroom could be a result of divorce, so it’s important to be mindful of what the child is experiencing.”

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 it's emotionally 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 -is to help women and mothers globally 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 there are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing for their children.
