Hey Mamas!! Life has been lifeing!! It seems like every time things seem to be good or getting back to normal, my life takes a dramatic turn. Unemployment is something that many moms are facing right now, and it is a very scary situation to be in. How are the bills going to get paid? What if I can't find another job? How long will we have to struggle to make ends meet? I had all these questions and 100 more. So let's unpack this new chapter of my life together.

Hey mamas! Being single can be the worst experience or the best experience depending on what you do during your season of singleness. I spent the majority of my adult life as a wife, and when I was no longer a wife I found myself asking, "well what do I do now?" If you're asking yourself that same question, then I have an answer for you!!

Hey Mamas! I need the single moms raising boys to the front please! We carry the weight of wanting to raise good men. But here’s the truth: our boys don’t need us to play both roles of mom and dad.

They need our nurturing, our feminine energy, and yes, they also need to learn responsibility and independence. It’s a delicate dance—teaching them empathy while guiding them to grow into self-sufficient men.

So if you've been trying to play both mom and dad, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to. Your son needs their mom, and that is more than enough.

I lean on my faith to guide me through the chaos, reminding me that I'm not alone in this journey. From big decisions to daily challenges, God is my co-parent, helping me raise my kids with love and purpose.

This episode is your sign to lean on God throughout your motherhood journey. You won't regret it!
