Solo & So Well - Self-care, Daily Habits, Wellness, Time Management, Solo Parenting, Single Parenting Help, Military Spouse, Find Your Purpose
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!

010 // Serving Serenity: Cultivate More Peace and Order Around the Dinner Table with Kids
Hey Mama!
Today, I'm diving into a topic that was once a real struggle for me as a solo parent - dinner time. With three energetic boys and a small house, chaos was becoming the norm, leading to stress and overwhelm. But, guess what? I found a way to make dinner time not just manageable but actually enjoyable.
In this episode, I spill the beans on the three tips that became my secret weapons. From starting dinner prep early to fostering connection and incorporating respect and gratitude, these strategies have worked wonders for my family. I share the highs and lows, the challenges, and the victories. If you're a solo mom looking to bring more peace and order to your dinner table, this one's for you. Tune in and let's turn your mealtime stress into family bliss!
Pssst... today we are also celebrating hitting double digits on Solo & So Well - cheers to episode 10! Thanks for be apart of this journey with me, friend!
Always wishing you well,
Heidi xo
