A Love Like That. You Will Rise Again.
It's A Single Mom Thing
03/24/24 • 12 min
When the foundation of a two-decade marriage crumbles on the eve of its 20th anniversary, the ensuing chasm of love loss and identity crisis is profound. Embark on a heart-wrenching journey with us as we unravel the emotional tapestry of a wife and mother faced with the shock of divorce, navigating through the debris of shattered dreams and a life once intertwined with another. Our conversation traverses the broader societal shift towards late-in-life divorces, acknowledging the pain of both men and women as families reconfigure and single parents emerge. This episode is a raw and honest look at the struggle to rediscover oneself amidst the echoes of a love that was meant to endure.
As the narrative unfolds, we find solace in the promise of new beginnings and the power of unfailing love. Just as the story of Easter delivers hope through the resurrection, we draw parallels to the possibility of personal rebirth after the despair of lost love. With an eye towards our 100th episode, coinciding with Easter Sunday, we delve into the transformative love of Jesus and its capacity to guide us through life's valleys. Offering resources for spiritual growth and support for those traversing the difficult path of divorce, this episode stands as an invitation to rise from the ashes of heartbreak and embrace the dawn of a new chapter.PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT SINGLE MOM - If you have been blessed by this podcast, sign-up today with a monthly gift of $ 3-month click here.

It's All Relative When It Comes To The Relatives
It's A Single Mom Thing
11/27/23 • 11 min
So as we get ready in the coming weeks to gather with friends, family, and e-v-e-n extended family, I want us to feast on this.
Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict. Proverbs 17:1 NLT
The holiday and holy season is a time meant to be filled with cheer, celebration, joy, and togetherness. However, it can also be a period of stress, anxiety, and strained relationships, especially when managing family dynamics that don’t include your immediate family. As the holidays approach, our to-do lists grow longer, our time and energy become shorter, and our patience can wear thin like our hairline. Whether dealing with relatives or co-parenting with an ex-partner, setting healthy boundaries is crucial to ensuring that the holidays remain holy, harmonious, lifted in love and laughter, and balanced emotional well-being for all beings involved.
Learn how to keep your perspective on point as it is all relative when it comes to the relatives.

Summer Salty Remix: Rock Bottom
It's A Single Mom Thing
07/21/24 • 17 min
What if hitting rock bottom could actually be the beginning of a powerful journey towards faith and resilience?
In this special "Salty Summer Remix" episode of "It's a Single Mom Thing," I share my raw and personal experiences—from the heart-wrenching shock of divorce to the relentless challenges of unemployment and health issues. These stories are a testament to the shared struggles many single moms face, but more importantly, they highlight the strength we find when we lean on what I call "the rock," inspired by Psalms 18.2.
This isn't just about surviving; it's about finding refuge and strength in faith, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we are never alone.

Overdrawn, Just Not Overcooked
It's A Single Mom Thing
10/28/24 • 15 min
In this lighthearted yet deeply reflective episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, we dive into life’s latest storms and the clean-up they leave behind, exploring what it means to feel “overdrawn” but not overdone. Inspired by the idea that we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing, we ask: what if we could leave something meaningful behind?
We’ll discuss what it feels like to be “spent” like a $20 bill and how, even in brokenness, there’s beauty to be found and a chance to build something lasting. We’ll also talk about how to rise above feeling emotionally or financially overdrawn and find renewed purpose in what we’re passing down to the next generation.
So, what storm are you in right now? What lesson is waiting for you to learn, laugh at, and leave behind as a firm foundation for your kiddos?

Ah, the holidays! A time for joy, togetherness, and... navigating the delightful dynamics of family gatherings.

As we gear up to gather with friends, family, and e-v-e-n the extended crew, let’s chew on this:
“Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.” – Proverbs 17:1 (NLT) 🍞💨
The holidays are meant to be holy, harmonious, and full of love and laughter—but let’s face it, sometimes they come with a side of stress, a pinch of anxiety, and a dollop of drama. Whether you’re balancing relatives or co-parenting with an ex, setting healthy boundaries is the secret sauce to keeping your sanity and your peace. 🧘♀️✨
💡 In this episode, we’re rewinding to some timeless wisdom on:
👉 Keeping your perspective on point
👉 Maintaining harmony (even when the family group text is exploding)
👉 Setting boundaries that honor your well-being and your joy
So, grab your plate (even if it’s just dry crust—peace tastes better anyway), and tune in for tips to make your holidays lifted in love, laughter, and just enough grace to get through that second helping of awkward small talk. You’ve got this! 💪

The holidays can feel like a season of pressure—romantic movies, social media posts, and endless holiday events can make you feel like you need someone special under the mistletoe. But here’s the truth, single mama: You are already loved beyond measure.

🎁 Stay confident and intentional while dating (or not)
🎁 Avoid the holiday “pressure cooker” of romance
🎁 Remember that the greatest love story of all is already yours
So grab your cocoa, adjust your crown, and let’s get real about embracing your season—no ring or mistletoe required.
