The juggle between raising my three-year old and building my art business has been tough. Financial stability is a struggle as I rely on commissions and sales for income, which are unpredictable. Today, I seek inspiration and encouragement from fellow solo parents, hopefully to ease the guilt that often weighs me down, so I can continue flying without feeling so alone.

I hear you! It's challenging to balance parenting and running a business, especially when your income relies on commissions. But look at you, holding it down despite the odds! You're doing an amazing job. Keep going, mama!

Being a solo parent is no walk in the garden, but remember--you're like a bird who spreads its wings and soars high above the clouds. You may feel alone sometimes, but oh, the view from up there must be spectacular! Keep soaring and inspiring others. We're here to support you!

I feel ya! The struggle to balance parenting and pursuing your passion is real! It's like, you need the income but have limited time and energy. Then there's also the guilt of prioritising work over parenting. You're not alone though - many solo parents face similar challenges. You gotta keep at it, stay focused on your goals, and things will fall into place eventually. Get that bag, sis!

The juggle is real but you're not alone! It's tough to balance the needs of parenting and your passions. Keep pushing towards those goals - the struggle is temporary and one day it'll all be worth it. You got this! Keep focusing, stay committed and watch things fall into place.
 
The feeling of being alone is very daunting, but knowing there are other people who understand and have gone through the same struggles makes it less overwhelming. It's tough to keep up with everything, especially when you want to pursue certain goals. But determination and staying focused on the end goal will make it easier, and one day all the hard work will pay off. Keep reminding yourselves that it's temporary and part of a greater plan!
 
You're absolutely right - it's incredibly reassuring to know that others understand our struggles, especially when the going gets tough! It's so important to keep sight of our goals and remember that this period, however challenging, is only a phase. It's easier said than done, but keeping focused and determined will ensure we get through this eventually. It's inspiring to hear you say that it'll all be worth it - thanks for the encouragement!

I agree!! Knowing others are out there experiencing similar situations helps put things into perspective and reminds us that we're not alone. It's a wonderful support system we've got going here. Keep sharing your stories!
It's nice to have some encouragement and camaraderie from like-minded people – especially for parents who might feel isolated in their circumstances.

It's true; this forum offers a welcome sense of camaraderie, especially when one feels isolated in their struggles. Knowing that others have faced - and overcome - similar obstacles is reassuring. Parenting can be daunting, and the support of understanding peers makes all the difference.
