Welcome to the idiot podcast. I'm Laura Clary as you know.

Weirdly nervous about this one. I'm trying to get more focused which is a joke because me and

everybody else on the planet has ADHD. Not everybody has ADHD but it kind of feels

like everyone has ADHD. I don't know if like

Instagram and Tik-Tok and YouTube shorts are making us have creating ADHD and

people or just the way that society is I don't know but I feel like we're

a very distracted culture anyway what was I talking about but I'm trying to

keep these episodes focused they're only 25 minutes so I'm trying to keep these episodes focused. They're only 25 minutes so I'm thinking

okay what's my topic for today and then I thought okay I'm a newly single mom

let's talk about that. As a newly single mom I wonder any other single moms out there what is your

current experience do you find that you have any sort of work-life mom-ing balance?

Do you feel chronically stressed?

Are you more at peace now?

I want to know your experiences, your current experiences today.

How are you feeling today?

I feel, how do I feel how do I feel today as a single mom definitely emotional I

definitely cry more I definitely feel chronically stressed like my back is just

constantly tight and nodded and I swear it's just from feeling the pressure of having to be the provider for my kids and balance being a mother and being a provider and a nurturer and I think sleep deprivation doesn't help anything.

I really didn't want to complain.

I really didn't want this to be negative at all.

I'm also very aware that I'm blessed in my life and you know I can afford child care but it's also like I

fucking need child care to work to feed them.
