  • Summary

  • Are you a mama that often solo parents while your partner works away? Are you struggling to keep it together, and balancing all the things on your own? Do you have a hard time setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care? Do you wonder if more joy, peace, and fulfillment is possible for you in this season of life?

    The Solo & So Well podcast is a landing spot for all the mamas out there struggling in their solo parenting roles. If that’s you, I want you to know you are safe, seen, and supported here. This is a judgement-free, real talk, value packed, and encouraging community. You are not alone in this season of hardship, and you will come out the other side, brighter and stronger than ever!

    I’m your host Heidi Chirkoff, I know what you need, because I needed it too. It wasn’t that long ago that I was having an extremely hard time in the day-to-day - with two small boys, one on the way, a strained marriage, and loss of identity/purpose. I felt alone, I felt overwhelmed, I felt resentful, I felt like I was failing as a mother, and I felt guilty for feeling the way I felt. At the time, I didn’t know how to get “unstuck”, but I knew I needed to start making some changes, for myself, my kids, and my marriage – and that it was up to me, and only me, to start making them.

    In my desperate search for solutions, I found some things that worked, and some that didn’t. And now that I’ve come out on the other side, I want to share everything I’ve learned. Here at Solo & So Well, we focus on you, the Mom. Even though it may not feel like it right now, you are the anchoring presence in your home, you are the glue, the tone setter, the gatekeeper, the one who knows all, and has actual superpowers. Don’t let that pressure you, let it empower you. A better life starts with you! When you start to rise – the whole family will rise with you.

    My mission with this podcast is to be a guiding light, that shows other mamas the way to more joy, peace, and fulfillment - TODAY. It’s time to stop living in auto pilot, in struggle and survival mode – and start taking ownership of your life, one that is full of vibrancy and purpose. You were made for more! I know it, and you know it! We are going to shift you from always having life happen to you – to life starting to happen for you.

    Big change starts with itty bitty, consistent, daily action.

    Every time you press play on this podcast, the weight of it all gets lighter.

    So let’s get started!

    Hey Mama!

    Are you and your partner often missing the mark on each other’s needs and expectations? And one or both of you is left feeling frustrated or resentful when things don't go accordingly? In today’s episode, we dive into a game-changer for getting on the same page with your partner during his time home—“Toolbox Meetings.” This simple morning check-in practice has helped us prioritize each other’s needs and align our day so that we’re working as a team. Toolbox meetings are designed to make space for open communication, from planning daily tasks to sharing emotional and logistical needs, so no one is left feeling resentful or unheard. Tune in to learn how you can implement this strategy to strengthen your relationship, get on the same page, and make the most of your precious family time together!

    Hey Mama!

    Want to get into better shape, live a healthier lifestyle, or become a more calm, patient, and loving mom? In this episode of Solo & So Well, we’re exploring the transformative power of spending just five minutes a day imagining your ideal self. This simple daily visualization technique is like setting your inner compass—it helps bring clarity to your goals, reduce anxiety, and align your daily actions with the person you truly want to be.

    Imagine yourself embodying qualities like confidence, health, or peace, and notice how this vision can naturally inspire new habits and help you show up as your best self. Whether you’re aiming for more energy, deeper self-care, or a happier mindset, a few intentional minutes spent visualizing your ideal self can make all the difference.

    Join me as I guide you through practical tips and small steps to begin this empowering practice. Let's move from dreaming to becoming, one mindful moment at a time!

    Always wishing you well,

    Hey Mama!

    Welcome back to another insightful episode of the Solo & So Well podcast! I’m your host, Master Life & Wellness Coach for Moms, Heidi Chirkoff. Today, we’re tackling a common struggle that many of us face: anxiety. If you have an on-going, nagging feeling of anxiousness, and you're not really sure where it's coming from... this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we’ll explore how the distance between your current self and your ideal self can contribute significantly to your feelings of anxiety. Using the lens of Person-Centered Theory developed by Carl Rogers, we’ll discuss the concept of incongruence—essentially the mismatch between who you are today and who you aspire to be.

    I’ll guide you through recognizing this gap and understanding how it can create an underlying tension in your life. We’ll reflect on the qualities of your ideal self and what it means to truly align with that vision.

    Throughout the episode, I’ll share practical tips and exercises that will empower you to start bridging that gap, from journaling about your values to practicing self-compassion. It’s all about making small, meaningful changes that will help alleviate anxiety and bring you closer to the person you want and are meant to be.

    Join me as we take this journey together toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. And let’s begin to close that gap to cultivate a more peaceful, fulfilling, and aligned life!

    Always wishing you well,

    xo
