Ep.16: Solo Parenting with a Slice of Dating

What does solo parenthood look like when you're raising a child far from home? In this episode, I sat down with my good friend, Nav to talk about her experience of being a single parent and expat in Bangkok. Together, we explore the rewards and realities of navigating parenthood independently, from building a support network and balancing responsibilities to embracing the freedom and opportunities that come with creating your own family story abroad. We also discuss the challenges of dating, the realities of finding time for yourself, and how living in an international city like Bangkok can shape both parenting and relationships. Making a special guest appearance is her nine-year-old daughter, Avery, who joins us to share all about her beloved pets, her favourite places to visit in Thailand, and making memories with her grandparents. This honest, heartwarming and hilarious conversation offers a glimpse into family life, and the unique experience of raising a child as a solo parent in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.
