Be Salty Not Sad
It's A Single Mom Thing
02/14/22 • 8 min
Valentine's Day is a season and reason why many solo mommas and Christian single women get bitter - it's hard, it hurts, and it highlights what we think we don't have instead of putting a spotlight on what we do have!
So today, we are going to focus on the relationship we do have, and some wisdom that is sprinkled in His Word. He is our hope, and it is He who is preparing us right now for relationships with Him, and the man who is yet to come into our life.
Luke 14:34-35 says, "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, it is thrown away.
So why would He say such a thing? What does salt do that is worthy of his word to you?
Find out more as we forget the sad and get a little bit salty up in here.
Show Highlights
- You are single and saved.
- He is the relationship you are looking for and He will prepare you for the relationship He has for you.
- We are not capable of loving someone without conditions if we don't know the one that loved us first.
- We are singled out for His purpose.
- We want God's best, forget the rest.

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.

Out of Focus, Finding Provision: A Single Mother's Tale of Faith from the Widow of Zarephath
It's A Single Mom Thing
03/15/24 • 17 min
Staring at the empty pantry, the weight of single motherhood pressing down, I found myself grappling with the fear that maybe, just maybe, I was focusing on all the wrong things. Today's journey is a heartfelt exploration of the widow of Zarephath's story from 1 Kings 17, a tale of scarcity and unwavering faith that resonates with every single mom's struggle to keep the bigger picture in focus. I'll share with you how, even when our cupboards seem bare, there's a way to find abundance in what little we have.
As we gear up for our 100th episode celebration on Easter Sunday, I extend a warm invitation to Tampa Bay's single moms of faith to come together for our "It's a Single Mom Thing" class and support group. It's here where we weave spiritual support with empowerment, ensuring our collective journey strengthens rather than hinders us. If your heart seeks a deeper connection with faith or longs for a community's prayerful embrace, join us at shepherdsvillage.com/classes, where guidance and support await to help you navigate your Zarephath moments with grace and hope.

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.

Resistance Training: Toning up and Tuning Out Temptation

Resistance Training - Toning Up and Tuning Out Temptations
As solo mommas raising our kiddos, who has time for resistance training, right. Most days, our kiddos are resisting us and it's all we can do to get them out the door and to school on time. That certainly doesn't leave much time for resistance training, does it? But, what type of training are we actually talking about here? Today, are going to stretch ourselves and try on some "next-level" resistance training, for what we resist persists, and will WAY into the new year. Now, that's not a good look for any of us. So get ready, get sweaty, and let's get uncomfortable. Together, we are going to isolate a temptation that gets us bent out of shape, affects us to our core, and we are going to learn how to tune it out.

Embracing You: Will The Real You Please Stand Up
It's A Single Mom Thing
05/05/24 • 29 min
Do you know who you are?
The person beyond the image you see in the mirror, rather, the person in the mirror who wants you to see YOU. The you beyond the figure who maybe still has some things to figure out.
The you in unique.
Yeah you!!!
- Has the world or even the "good opinions" of others shaped who you think you are?
- Did your parents tell you who YOU were going to be when you grew up?
- Now that you are a parent, do you share with your kids who they really are?
- Do your possessions, associations or associate degrees tell others who you are?
My guess, is they tell something, but NOT who you really are
Join me on this journey of self-discovery into God's "interior design" through body image, the power in the meaning of your name, and even how one 14 year old diagnosed with cancer knew who she really was. Hint, it's not cancer.
YOU were created to be you and you have somethings do in this world that only YOU can do.
Are you ready to stand up?

Storm of Change
It's A Single Mom Thing
10/18/24 • 16 min
In this powerful episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, we reflect on the inevitable storms of life—both literal and emotional—and how they force us to confront change. Drawing inspiration from Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, we explore what it means to find growth and meaning in the most challenging circumstances.
As my community reels from two back-to-back hurricanes, I share my personal experience of navigating through these storms, the heart-wrenching decision to leave behind my firefighter son, and the lessons God has been teaching me through it all. Sometimes, when we can’t change our circumstances, we’re called to change ourselves.
This episode is a reminder that even when everything around us feels uprooted, we can find strength in faith, trust in God’s plan, and the power to rebuild—not just our homes, but our hearts.
Join me as we discuss how to face change head-on and lean into the purpose God has for your life, no matter the storm you’re weathering.
