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!

Hey Mama!
In today’s episode, we’re focusing on something that can truly shift your mood, energy, and overall state—daily self-check-ins. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re running on empty, this episode is for you.
I’ll be walking you through a simple, three-question check-in practice that takes just a few minutes but can have a huge impact on how you feel throughout the day. We’ll dive into why it’s important to pause, reflect, and acknowledge how you’re really feeling, and I’ll share practical tips on how to easily build this practice into your daily routine.
Whether you're brushing your teeth, waiting for your coffee, or squeezing in a quick moment between errands, this check-in routine will help you reconnect with yourself and find those small, actionable steps that can boost your mood, increase your energy, and lower stress.
Tune in to learn how this easy practice can help you stay grounded and take better care of yourself, even during the busiest days. Let’s start making self-care a priority, one small check-in at a time.
Go ahead and press play! And don’t forget to share how your check-ins are going with me on Instagram, a comment on Spotify, OR in a review on Apple Podcasts <3
Always wishing you well,
