Gratitude, Co-Parenting, and Your “Circle of Love” (Plus Random Acts of Kindness)
Liza and Wendy sit down with guest Carrie (a yoga teacher + mom of two) to talk about gratitude as a real-life survival tool for single parents. The conversation reframes “co-parenting” as something bigger than just two parents, sometimes it’s a community, a circle of love, and the support system you build. They share simple gratitude rituals (like Peaches & Pits) and how random acts of kindness can shift your home energy fast.
Co-parenting can mean community. It can be a circle of support, not only the other parent.
Gratitude is a “reset button.” It helps you center when life feels heavy or out of control.
Model self-love, don’t just talk about it. Kids learn by watching what you do.
Peaches & Pits is a simple daily practice that teaches reflection and growth (even the “pit” can become a lesson).
Random acts of kindness are contagious. When you give, it often creates a ripple effect you didn’t expect.
Asking for support is a skill. You don’t have to do everything alone, especially as a single parent.
Try this today
The “Gratitude + Support Combo” (10 minutes):
Peaches & Pits (at any meal): everyone shares 1 Peach (good thing) + 1 Pit (hard thing).
Ask: “What did the pit teach us today?” (turn it into a tiny lesson).
Do one random act of kindness with your kids (or solo):
leave a kind note, buy someone’s coffee, give out small “you are loved” cards.
Text one person in your circle: “Can you support me with ___ this week?” (keep it specific + small).
