As many of you who follow me on social media know, my daughter recently went on a 12-day holiday to Vietnam with her dad. It was the longest time I’d been away from her.

 

And honestly, I absolutely loved it, it was like a mini holiday for me.

 

I cherished the quiet mornings, getting up early for my gym workout, relaxed afternoons, and just enjoying simple things like coffee catch ups with friends, and whipping together easy dinners without the stress of planning everything.

 

I loved having a clean house without school shoes kicked of at the door everyday, not having to nag about shower time, fighting over a messy bedroom and just being able to plan my day on the go.

 

That time to myself felt like pure gold, a chance to really recharge, slow down, and focus entirely on me.

 

I know for many single parents, this isn’t always how it feels. Letting your kids go on holiday with the other parent can feel scary, overwhelming, and extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to.

 

In my latest podcast episode, I share my top 10 tips for navigating this stage of co-parenting.

 

These tips are designed to help you manage and embrace the time on your own, and even see it as a positive opportunity while knowing your kids are safe, happy, and having fun.

 

Whether it’s your first holiday away from the kids or something that happens regularly, these strategies can help you approach it in a way that feels easier, more relaxed, and even enjoyable or not just your kids but for you too.
