Single Parent Success Stories

Did you know your thoughts have powers? What if you could teach your kids that in a fun loving game kind of way? Well now you can. Today's guest is Lynn McLaughlin,

As an educator and parent, Lynn is passionate about children's mental health. She and her niece Amber Raymond, a Social Worker, have joined forces to publish a children's book series titled, "The Power of Thought" where children beam off to an imaginary planet to learn how to manage their emotions in a positive way.

Her advice for single parents:

Listen with the intent of understanding. Children's behaviors stem from a cause. If we can understand why our children feel a certain way, we can then give them the tools to deal with their own emotions in a positive way.

Molly Adkins healed her own mind, body and spirit through sound healing and yoga. During a turbulent time of her life, she had re-discovered yoga that also incorporated mantra chanting and crystal singing bowls. Taking daily classes, she noticed that she started to become not only physically stronger, but also mentally and emotionally. She began to rise out of her depression and see her life from a different lens.

Molly has used the energy work not only to heal herself but has also become a guide to help others on their healing journeys. She is now certified in sound healing, yoga, reiki and is an intuitive coach. She made big transformational changes, including quitting her 30-year career to follow her heart’s calling. She offers programs to empower women by helping them make big decisions in career with inner peace and clarity.  Individual, private and group sound healing sessions are also available.

Originally from Indiana, Molly lived in Japan for eleven years after graduating with a BA in music from CU Boulder. While in Japan, she became a singer of Japanese traditional folk song and earned an MA in ethnomusicology from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. After returning to the US in 2000, she returned to Indiana and became a high school teacher of Japanese. In 2021, she took early retirement to follow her heart’s calling of moving back to the mountains of Colorado and guiding others on their healing journeys.

Sarah Armstrong is a "good divorce" proponent and author of 'The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce: What to Think Through When Children Are Involved.' She defines a good divorce as one that puts the children first and offers a wealth of information about the benefits of a good divorce on children.  Sarah’s daughter, Grace, was seven when Sarah and her husband divorced. Now Grace is a freshman in college. For Sarah, that is a success story. There were numerous struggles as Sarah and her ex-husband worked together to create a loving two-home living environment for Grace.   Holidays, birthdays and the demands of work--both on Sarah and her ex-husband--were challenges. Figuring out the logistics of financials, report cards, the day-to-day and the long-term plan for Grace all presented challenges--and opportunities--for successful parenting. Sarah has lots of advice, including self-care. So many women forget to put themselves first, ever, and that is key to plowing through the difficult times. Sarah has a lot more advice in her book, 'The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce: What to Think Through When Children Are Involved.' 👉https://amzn.to/3urdfz2
