With Astrid by your side
Overcoming challenges together
For a mother, being a single parent means mastering a multitude of challenges in everyday life. In addition to the responsibility for the children, you also bear the burden of having to look after them financially and emotionally on your own. There is often a lack of time and support to juggle work and raising children.
The hurdles in the everyday life of a single mother are manifold. There is often a lack of financial resources, as maintenance is not paid by the other parent or is only paid irregularly. In addition, psychological stress can occur due to the double burden of work and family. Organizing childcare and household chores can also cause major problems.
This is where Astrid and her team come in.

What rights do I have as a single mother?
As a single mother, you have certain rights that should help you to cope with your responsible task. For example, you are entitled to maintenance for your child from the other parent. If the biological father is unable or unwilling to pay, you have the option of applying to the relevant youth welfare office for an advance on maintenance payments. You can first make this claim by telephone before filling out the necessary forms.
You also have the right to a mother-child cure if your health is at risk due to the stress of being a single parent. This cure can help you to replenish your energy reserves and give you a break from the stress of everyday life. As a rule, the costs are covered by health insurance.
To make the most of all these rights, it is important that you are well informed. Our coaching for single mothers enables you to do just that. We support you in knowing your rights and asserting them so that you and your child receive the best possible support.
What career opportunities are there for single mothers?
As a single mother, it is often difficult to find the right job that is flexible enough and at the same time meaningful and fulfilling. But there’s no need to worry, there are plenty of opportunities:
- Part-time jobs: Part-time jobs offer the flexibility to better reconcile work and family life by allowing reduced working hours.
- Freelancing and self-employment: As a freelancer, you can determine your own working hours and work on projects according to your own schedule.
- Home office: Many companies offer home office options that allow you to work from home and thus save time for childcare.
- Minijobs: These marginal jobs offer flexible working hours and can be an additional source of income.
- Job sharing: Two people share a full-time job, which makes it easier to combine work and family commitments.
- Education and further training: You can prepare for new professional fields or advance your career through qualification measures and further training.
- Consulting and coaching: If you have experience and knowledge in a specific area, you could work as a consultant or coach and pass on your expertise.
- Virtual assistant: As a virtual assistant, you support companies or individuals with administrative tasks, which often allows for flexible working hours.
- Sales and marketing: In sales or marketing, especially in direct sales or e-commerce, you can often work flexibly and decide for yourself when you complete your tasks.
- Tutoring and teaching: If you have specialized knowledge in a subject area, you can tutor or offer lessons, often with flexible scheduling.
- Creative professions: Careers in areas such as writing, graphic design, photography or art can often be project-based and done from home.

What problems do single mothers often struggle with?
As a single mother, you know all too well the challenges that come with this. Not only do you have to take on the role of both parents, but you also have to manage the balancing act between work, housework and raising children. This can lead to various problems:
- Financial bottlenecks are common, especially if maintenance is paid irregularly by the other parent or your own income is insufficient.
- Time management becomes a challenge, as the balance between work and childcare often leads to stress and exhaustion.
- The search for reliable childcare and the lack of a supportive network exacerbate the situation.
- In addition, professional development and the compatibility of work and family can suffer.
- Puberty can be a particularly tricky time for your teenager. Fathers are often missing as contact persons and caregivers. And while you try to be the best mother and father in one person, you may sometimes feel overwhelmed and left alone.
- Emotional burdens such as isolation and feelings of guilt are also common, as are health problems caused by chronic stress.
- Legal and administrative hurdles, such as maintenance and custody issues, add to the burden.
All these challenges require targeted support and flexible solutions. But don’t panic, you’re not alone! Our coaching for single mothers is designed to help you through these times. We support you in reducing stress, getting better organized and communicating effectively with your children.
