Living Easy with Lindsey

147 | A Convo with My Mama: Divorce, Faith, and Raising Us as Single Mom


Listen Later

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about what it was like raising my sister and me as a single, divorced mom working full-time.

She opens up about navigating co-parenting with different rules, parenting through heartbreak, and showing up for her kids even when she felt completely broken. We talk about how divorce impacted her faith, how she kept shame from consuming her, and how the people in her life helped her survive one of the hardest seasons.

My mom also shares what she wishes other single moms knew, and how she handled introducing someone new into our lives. It’s emotional, honest, and filled with wisdom for any woman walking through divorce, single motherhood, or simply trying to hold it together when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Plus, we laugh about the messy, real-life moments—like me locking myself out of the house and calling her at work to save me (again). 

If you’re a single parent who’s ever wondered, “Can I really do this?”—this one’s for you.
