I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

Hi Juhi, Work life balance is a myth. Prioritising your life is important . Most important to start with is to have ME time for yourself. this helps us sort things in our head and see a clear picture. You could look at your schedule and consciously keep two days to spend quality time having conversations with kids depending on their age. Sometimes we confuse quality time with watching movies and going to mall. those are good but spending time with them knowing their thoughts process...their idea about their future is quality time. keep an outing once every two months to engage with them better. It does not have to expensive holidays. It can be simple things like camping, trekking or nature walk. Hope this helps .
