Tuesday Talks - Dr. Kathrine Bejanyan is back! This time she interviews Dr. Coco Novak - an insight into Coco's book 'Single, and too tired to mingle. On relationships. With ourselves, our exes, our kids and other important beings.'
Parenting - the hardest job on the world! Parenting boys, relationship breakup, finding your purpose, attachment to things - Coco Novak shares her life story.
An important message - you cannot parent two kids the same way. You cannot parent children based on your own character, but the child's character. This is the ultimate challenge!
Attachment - why are we so attached to things? Why can't we move on when relationships,
or jobs don't serve us anymore. Are we so attached to a relationship that we're willing to sacrifice our life for it, even if we're unhappy?
Why do people stay in jobs that are not good for them anymore? Fear of failure? Coco says 'there's no such thing as failure!' Just try again. Or maybe that thing just wasn't for you and your focus should be elsewhere.

Single, and too tired to mingle - CHAPTER SYNOPSIS

1. The three pillars – Being unhappy was not an option: Was it my work, my kids, or the relationship with my partner? What I did to monitor life satisfaction.
2. On relationships (or the necessity of being in one) – Why does it seem socially important for us to be in a relationship? Are people in relationships happier than singletons?
3. On parenting – Easier in theory than in practice: To have kids or not to have kids? How (not) to treat kids during a divorce or split.
4. On raising boys (mostly) – The joys and challenges of boys: Why do we call girls princesses, but so easily punish boys? Let's have a great relationship with our sons!
5. On single motherhood – The often-underappreciated role of mothers globally: From the Roe vs Wade fiasco to 'pro-life' advocates. Single parents must be supported.
6. On exes having kids with another partner – Having our ego in check is a challenge we must overcome: The importance of healthy co-parenting, despite its difficulties.
7. On parents – What should be our most positive influence in life, sometimes isn't: A guide to different parenting styles.
8. On siblings – Raised to be in rivalry with my siblings: A sad journey with my sister, the unusual tale of my brother, and the relationship with my own two kids.
9. On my favourite men (and a girl) – A retrospective and a Thank You to the favourite men in my life who have been my anchor. And a bit about a girl.
