Welcome to “It's A Single Mom Thing”, the show for single moms by single moms.

Being a solo momma and present parent is hard work and it’s easy to lose your focus when you forget your faith. The good news is, that you are not alone, you were singled out in this season, and together we can work on what’s not working for you finding Christ in the crisis! Whether you are listening early in the morning or late at night, we are here for you!

Be encouraged. Get inspired. You can do this, momma.

Stay tuned as each Monday we will feature fresh and fun content and conversations as we join you on this journey from solo momma to solo momma. We promise not to take too much of your time and thank you for spending it with us. It may be a single mom thing, but it doesn’t have to be the single thing that stops you!

#Goal: Getting What You Want

Send Sherry a Text Message Everyone knows that goal-setting is important. Whether we do it consciously or not, we always have our minds set on goals. It’s instinctual, actually. So, why are so many of us not reaching our goals? Because the real challenge with goals is not determining if you want the results, but if you are willing to accept the sacrifices required to achieve them.

Conflict Management: Managing the Inevitable with Power and Positivity

Send Sherry a Text Message Conflict is inevitable. It happens on the daily, and as Moms, it’s our job to manage that conflict as powerfully as we can. It’s almost a cosmic joke at times, given how much is on our plate, how sleep-deprived we may be, how much stress we’re under, and yet we’re supposed to be able to find our inner “wooo-saaaa” for the umpteenth time in a day and help to model conflict management strategies for our children.

Finding A New Normal

Send Sherry a Text Message Finding a new normal for you and your family can be both scary and exciting. Your previous normal was “known.” Even if it wasn’t the most ideal for you and your family, you still knew it. Creating a new normal is facing the unknown, and takes a tremendous amount of courage. With that courage, comes lots of opportunities. Sign up with Shepherd's Village University and start earning your certificate to face your future with confidence: https://www.sv-university.org ...

Our Choices Matter: Living a Life Of Your Own Design

Send Sherry a Text Message Our lives are a constant ever-changing flow of things happening to us. However, there is immense power in knowing that our choices matter. Every.single.one. The good ones. The bad ones. The ugly ones. They are all a function of what your life looks like today. Think about your life as a quilt, and each patch on your quilt represents an experience, a time in your life.

Learning to Set Realistic Expectations (and to lose the unrealistic ones)

Send Sherry a Text Message We all have expectations for ourselves. Most of us probably think that they are pretty reasonable, and yet when really examined, they are usually far from it.

Building A Family Team

Send Sherry a Text Message Many single moms are trying to win the game of life as a team of one, and it’s leading to disastrous outcomes. You can’t be everything to everyone and expect to win at anything. Families are like a team. Each individual family member brings skills, personality, and a designated role to contribute to the whole. Each player needs to work together (learning from past history and setting future-focused goals) to ultimately be victorious. Sign up with Shepherd's Villag...
