Hello, my Queens and welcome to another episode of XSM (X and the Single Mom) Podcast

Episode 39: Dealing with an Inconsistent Co-Parent In this episode, your HOST is sitting down with you to talk about something many moms quietly carry—an inconsistent co-parent. One minute they show up, the next they disappear, and you're left picking up the pieces. We're going to walk through how to protect your peace, create stability for your child, and stop overcompensating for someone else's inconsistency. This is about shifting your mindset, setting firm boundaries, and leading your household with strength and clarity—no confusion, no chaos. I appreciate you for spending this time with me. If this message touched you, helped you, or made you think, please share this episode with another single mom who may need a little guidance and support right now.

Hello Queens:

RE: Shout Out to Single Dads – Q1 Reality Check

This episode is a heartfelt tribute to single fathers who are carrying so much and still showing up for their children with love, strength, and determination. Too often, single dads are overlooked, but this episode is meant to honor the men who are making sacrifices, standing in the gap, and doing the hard work of parenting every single day.

While this conversation is dedicated to single fathers, moms can absolutely listen too, because the message of love, sacrifice, parenting, and self-care speaks to all of us.

And to show a little extra love, the first 20 people who email [email protected] with the subject line "I Want It" will receive a free resource: 10 Self-Care Hacks for Busy Single-Parents.

Sometimes the people who stay strong for everyone else need encouragement too. This one is for them.

In this special episode, I'm giving a well-deserved shout-out to single fathers. This conversation is for the dads who are doing their best, making sacrifices, and showing up for their children day after day.

Single dads do not always get the recognition they deserve, and this episode is a reminder that their efforts matter. Their love matters. Their presence matters.

Moms are welcome to listen as well, because the encouragement in this episode is for anyone carrying the weight of parenting and trying to hold everything together.

In this episode:

• A special shout-out to single fathers
• Encouragement for parents carrying a heavy load
• Recognition of the sacrifices single parents make
• A reminder that self-care matters too

The Final Chapter of the Thriving, Not Just Surviving Series

How to Protect Your Peace: A Single Mom's Guide to Intentional Living

In the final episode of the Thriving, Not Just Surviving series, Yasmin talks about what it really means to move beyond constant crisis and begins living with intention, peace, and self-worth. Many single moms spend years in "survivor mode" — doing what must be done just to get through the day.

In this episode, Yasmin explores how to recognize survivor mode, why it's so hard to leave behind, and the small but powerful steps that can help you reclaim rest, joy, and emotional balance.

Because Queens you weren't meant to just survive. You were meant to thrive.

P.S. I know right now most of you aren't looking for a '5-step plan to thrive'—you're just trying to make it to bedtime. So, I put together a 'Surviving NOT Thriving' checklist with my top 10 tips for getting through the hardest days. I'm giving this to the first 20 single moms who email me at [email protected] with the subject line 'I want it.' I'm keeping it small because I want to hear back from you on which tip/tips actually gave you a breather today. If you're listening while driving, the email address is also listed in the closing signature.

Hello Queens,

Welcome to another episode of X and the Single Mom Podcast.

Re: The Women Beyond Mom

Have you ever asked yourself this question "Who am I" or "Who am I now"? In this soul-refreshing episode, (the first in our five part series - "Thriving not just - Surviving") we're talking directly to moms who feel like they have lost touch with the women they used to be (prior to becoming a mom). You will hear some truth, encouragement, along with gentle reminders that motherhood DOES NOT have to erase your dreams. It just rewrites the script a bit.

Whether you are struggling with self-worth, your identity, or you simply want to be seen, this episode is your call to reconnect with you- the woman beyond the mom.
