According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress is "the reaction of the body and mind to a perceived threat or challenge". It is a normal part of life, and in small amounts, stress can help motivate and energize people to meet the demands of daily life. However, when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can have negative effects on both our physical and mental health.  Everyone experiences stress to some degree. But the way we respond to stress makes a big difference to our overall well-being. Managing stress as a single mother is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and overall well-being. In this episode, I share six ways to help manage your stress.

Single mothers carry a huge responsibility to their children. It is often very challenging as they have to overcome significant challenges, such as financial difficulties, social stigma, and the emotional and physical toll of raising a child alone. But despite these obstacles, many single mothers rise to the occasion, showing immense courage and determination. They learn to rely on their own resources, become more self-sufficient, and develop a deep sense of inner strength.  The experience allows mothers to demonstrate their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. It can be a challenging journey, but it is also one filled with moments of joy, triumph, and deep connection with one's children.
