\u201cThere\u2019s no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one.\u201d – Jill Churchill \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ABOUT FELICIA AND KIMI:<\/h2>\n

My daughter, Kimi, and I are the same height and size. We share clothes and shoes! On a more serious note, I learned responsibility from a very young age.\u00a0 I am the only girl of 3 siblings and I took care of the 3 of them! Bittersweet but I learned so much from it. It\u2019s what made me who I am today.<\/p>\n

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been challenging, exciting and frustrating, but my heart has never been full.\u00a0 In life, all aspects face some sort of struggle, otherwise the world wouldn\u2019t be revolving. \u00a0Being a single parent is a journey for the strong and the weak, it evolves you, it forces you into adapting two roles and it rewards you doubly.<\/p>\n

3 THINGS THAT YOU LEARNED AS A MOM:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Not all superheroes wear capes! \u00a0As a single parent, you tend to adapt faster. The conventional books on parenthood may not really apply here, it\u2019s either you do it or you try doing it again.<\/p>\n

First lesson is to take care of you. If we put ourselves last, who\u2019s going to look after our mental and physical health? Burn out has its repercussions, and those who are firstly affected are our children.\u00a0 So it\u2019s important to take care of you in order to take of the other.<\/p>\n

Second, I\u2019ve learned that it\u2019s about empathy and respect.\u00a0 Empathy is very rare to find these days, the double whammy I’ve been through has instilled this in me. I appreciate my daughter for who she is, I\u2019ve taught her what responsibility means and how to appreciate others.<\/p>\n

Third, taking responsibility\u00a0and building resilience. Crash, fall down and get back on your feet once again. Stand tall despite challenges and keep on trying until you get it right [for you].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ON MUAY THAI in Singapore<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Muay Thai has empowered me with confidence outside The Ring. Knowing how to defend myself, even if I\u2019ve have never been in a position of danger before, gives me an extra ounce of confidence. \u00a0After years of training, my daughter looks up to me as a role model (and someone who can kick ass). This for me is empowerment.<\/p>\n

ON BEING SUPER ORGANIZED:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Being a Virgo has a part to play, but who doesn\u2019t want to be in a tidy environment?\u00a0 I worked as an Administrative Executive at a Children\u2019s Home a few years back and the role entails superb organization skills. \u00a0Good organization skills cut your journey in half. \u00a0Just imagine in the morning you\u2019re running late for work and can\u2019t find the other pair of your sock?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
