Mama, Lover, Human: Navigating Dating While Parenting

Dating as a single parent can feel like its own adventure.

Juggling raising your kids, tending to your own needs, and navigating the dating world can feel like a lot. But it can also be fun and for many parents out there it is a part of the wholeness of themselves that pours into their larger family lives.

Jen and Amanda chat about experiences in the dating world as a parent, experiences as a kid with a dating parent and our takes on how to surf the dating waves of life both on apps and IRL.

We touch on how dating in your own life can be an amazing model and tool for our kids to learn about connection, communication and honoring feelings and desires of ourself and others in the world. Jen gives some hot tips on the logistics of meeting people and finding/managing childcare without breaking the bank to go on dates.

This conversation is a reminder that it’s okay to break old patterns, trust your own timing, and model what healthy love looks like for your kids — in a way that feels true for you.
