About this episode

Leanne Hutchinson discusses the challenges of feeling villainized by an ex after a breakup as a single parent and offers guidance on how to navigate this emotional turmoil.

This is one of the most gut-wrenching things you can go through in a breakup as a single parent. In this episode, I’m talking about what it’s like to feel villainised by your ex, especially when you know your truth isn’t being seen or understood. I’m unpacking why this can happen, what you need to do when you’re in it, how to get through it, and what actually matters most so you can stay grounded and keep moving forward without losing yourself in the process.
