SoloMoms! Talk

Amber Luffman is a married mother of a three-year-old daughter.  Yet she considers herself a solo mom.  She tells her story of a broken marriage and having a husband who suffers from addiction.

As a young woman mothering solo, Amber is learning to trust God as she navigates supporting her often absent husband while balancing her own business, writing a book, and nurturing her young daughter.

If you are looking for support due to addiction and codependency, Amber may be a great source of support and resource.  Because most of the time, it's only when you have experienced something that you are able to empathize with others having similar challenges.

Sadly, Amber passed away in July 2024. R.I.P. Amber. Love you.

I spent the last 23 years of my life focused on myself and my children.   In this first episode of Season 2, I explain how I thought being broken led me to a life of raising children alone.  I didn't know how to be a wife. But instead of living a life of bitterness and unforgiveness, I did a simple exercise that helped me put into focus the choices I had made.  Take a listen and leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Next week you will hear the story of Amber Luffman.  You don't want to miss her story.  Can a mom be married but still solo?  Find out how.
