This week, I had the privilege of sitting down with the remarkable Rachel Toyer, a solo mum to Arlo (age 3) and teacher living in Adelaide, South Australia. Rachel is the hilarious creative genius behind the instagram account @solo_mum_survival, where she creates content that gives a window into what parenting a toddler solo is really like. We’ll dive into the defining moments that have shaped her journey and celebrate the beauty of creating your own path as a single mom by choice.
