Thrive Like A Parent

• Self-Care and Solo Parenting After Loss | Part 2

  In Part 2 of my conversation with my dear friend, yoga therapist, and fellow widow, Julia Warren, we continue to open up about the raw and real experience of navigating life after loss. We go deeper into what it means to rebuild your identity, find your footing as a solo parent, and make empowered choices that prioritize true healing—not just survival. Together, we explore the emotional layers of grieving while raising children, maintaining your sense of self, and protecting your peace amidst outside opinions, business pressures, and the well-meaning but often overwhelming support of others. This episode sheds light on why authentic community matters, how to recognize when something isn’t aligned for your mental health, and the courage it takes to walk your own path when the world expects you to “be okay” before you are. If you’ve been searching for reassurance, connection, or permission to take healing at your own pace—this conversation is for you. You are not alone in this.

We open up about what it really means to choose yourself during hard times, how to find strength through authenticity, and the importance of trusting your own journey—even when surrounded by judgment, business challenges, and well-intentioned but misguided support. Julia and I discuss our personal experiences with widowhood, the ups and downs of recovery, building stable homes for our children, and learning to set boundaries that protect our peace. Our talk gets real about the pitfalls of quick fixes, misleading promises in the wellness space, and why building an authentic, supportive community matters so much. If you’ve ever struggled with grief, wrestled with guilt, or doubted your own strength on the path to rebuilding your life, this episode is for you.

• Parenting without Pefection: A chat with Caitlin Murray from Big Time Adulting

  EP:162 Hey there, it’s Brooke! In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Caitlin Murray from Big Time Adulting for a raw, honest, and hilarious deep-dive into the real life of modern parenting. We jump right in—talking about what it means to be an authentic parent, letting go of perfection, and why sometimes, it’s OK to just laugh at the chaos. Caitlin opens up about her journey as a mom to a childhood cancer survivor, how those challenging years taught her to trust her instincts, and navigating the world of gentle parenting without losing her sense of self (or humor). We also discuss the realities of parenting through a pandemic and how motherhood changes as we move through our 30s and 40s—including hormonal shifts and the importance of self-care. We get into why social media can be both a lifeline and a landmine for moms, and how the pressure to always get it “right” can actually hold us back. If you’re ever doubting yourself as a parent or feeling overwhelmed by parenting advice, this episode is here to remind you: YOU are enough. Trust your gut, embrace the messy moments, and don’t forget to take care of yourself along the way.
