- What the heck is a Sometimes Solo Mama?
Do you care for the kids while your partner travels for work?
Have you ever called yourself a ‘single-married mom’?
Do you relate to the loneliness of a military family, but your spouse is not enlisted?
In this episode, I’m sharing who exactly is a ‘Sometimes Solo Mama’ and why I wanted to start this podcast for you! Your family dynamic is unique and different because you parent alone many nights for days or weeks at a time, but you are married and your partner is not in the military. You sort of relate to ‘single’ moms, and probably have called yourself a “single-married mom” on occasion, yet you’re happily married and doing the home and family caretaking mostly on your own. If this sounds like you, you’re definitely in the right place, so tune in now! Don’t forget to share this episode with a Solo Parent you know and love!

Hey! I'm Kayla and I'm so excited to welcome to the Sometimes Solo Mama Podcast!
If your spouse travels for work leaving you at home to run the show, take on the default parent role, and juggle all the things, this is the place for you!
If you've ever felt like your relationship lies somewhere between single parent and military family, I see you.
Each week, we will talk about the ups and downs of this unique family dynamic and how best to navigate life as a mom and the spouse of a traveling partner. Our focus will be on building and maintaining core relationships, setting your home up with rhythms, routines, and systems to help you thrive, and at the core remind you of the person you are beyond mom and wife so we can explore what lights you up!

About Sometimes Solo Mama | Navigating Marriage, Parenting, & Your Home with a Traveling Spouse
From the publisher's feed
Are you exhausted but have to wake up and be the default parent again tomorrow?
Do you resent your husband for working on the road?
Does something always break when he’s away?
Do you…
feel like you need a break from your kids, but with the latest virus going around, you’re scrambling to stay healthy since there’s no one to step in if you get sick?
In this podcast, you will learn to implement routines and rhythms that work for your family to get your home running on auto-pilot, simple ways to keep the spark alive in your marriage, and parent effectively without always being “the bad guy”. My mission is to help you navigate life with a traveling spouse by focusing on building positive relationships, setting boundaries, and practicing simple mindset shifts. And most importantly, to help you build a supportive community - let’s leave the loneliness behind and connect with others in the same situation!
Hey, I’m Kayla Lyons! I’m a wife to a traveling husband and a mom of two girls. We’ve navigated this lifestyle for over 15 years—seven of those as parents—without the support of the proverbial “village.” and I’ve learned a thing of two along the way.
I know what it’s like to care for your home and family alone while your partner works out of town, feeling exhausted and wondering if this is all life offers. I resented my husband enjoying fancy meals out while I stayed home with the kids, stuck in a routine of chicken nuggets and sleepless nights. Our home felt overwhelming, my marriage was struggling, and I wasn’t a present mom. I went to bed every night feeling lonely and completely unfulfilled. My identity was wrapped up in my kids, and I was feeling lost as a woman and wanted more for my life.
Then I read a book that changed everything. I started making small changes to get my home running (mostly) on auto-pilot, I dug deep and did the real work to focus on building up my marriage instead of tearing it down, and I gradually rediscovered myself. Now, I want to share it all with you.
If you’re ready to find a space where you can connect with someone who truly “gets it” as we dive into the REAL work of being a married, sometimes (or always) solo parent, then this is the podcast for you! So refill your iced coffee, pop those earbuds in, and let’s build our village! You’re resilient and it’s time to go from surviving to thriving- even when sh*t hits the fan!
I’ll see you inside.
