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.
