Tanya Savva is a remarkable woman. She lives a life that is harder than a lot of single mothers, but it is also a very happy and rewarding life.

She has sacrificed a lot but something that I felt after speaking with Tanya is the confidence and self-awareness that she exudes. Tanya knows her purpose. And there is something incredibly empowering about that.

Tanya's nine-year-old daughter was born blind, autistic, developmentally delayed and fighting for her life. Tanya was told that she would never walk or be able to care for herself. She relies on medication in order to survive.

Tanya's relationship with her daughter's father did not survive, and just before their daughter's first birthday, it was over. Tanya found herself relocating back to Australia from New Zealand and moving back in with her parents.

In this episode, Tanya tells her single mother story.

We discuss the 6-month road trip up the east coast of Australia that Tanya did alone with her daughter and how that resulted in Tanya pursuing her passions to become an author, wellness & life coach and yoga teacher.

We also discuss how she has managed to parent her special needs child solo, how the co-parenting relationship has evolved over the last eight years and how they have dealt with living in different countries, self-fulfillment and how that helps us be better parents, and so much more.
