Two countries. Two sets of rules. Two separate languages. Two divided homes. Two totally different ways of doing things and your kids….. they have to live between the two. Between the two of you!
Each their own monarch and for their own country. And if these two countries are always at war, there is no peace for YOUR little international travelers.
The question to ask yourself is not whether or not you will weather the storm. The question you should be asking yourself is HOW will I weather the storm?
Loneliness is burdened with associations of emptiness and the absence of social connection. The feeling of loneliness is unique to everyone. Moms can feel it, but often experience it in different ways.
Common symptoms of loneliness that affect mental health are withdrawal and depression. Moms who feel lonely describe the impacts of loneliness as disrupting their focus on work, withdrawing from other family members and friends, or neglecting their responsibilities outside of their duty as a mother.
As solo mommas, who spend so much time and energy taking care of your kid's needs, you've probably forgotten how to focus on your own. The good news is, there are a few practical steps you can take to avoid the walls closing in on you and YOU shutting other people out.

As solo mommas, we've all been there, you know the dreaded moment you have to hand off your kiddos to their dad. For some, this happens every other weekend and seems to strap you in on a roller coaster ride you wish you could get off!
Doesn't it seem that the angst of that moment begins at the beginning of the week as the anticipation climbs as the end of the week draws near? It can be a real gut buster, weekend wrecker, and white knuckle moment. One that friends without kids can't understand.
Can you imagine what it must feel like for our kiddos to go on a ride that they didn't ask to go on and one that usually has a height requirement?
So how can you give them the hand-up over the hand-off - protecting their emotional experience?
Stay tuned as we unpack 8 reminders for setting your kiddos up for success as you pack them for time with their dad.
Body Language.
Emotions.
The Tone of Voice.
Don't Rush.
Plan a Play Date.
Encourage.
Send a Comfort Item.
Prayer.

As solo mommas, we aren't just heads of our households for income tax purposes, we are spiritual heads of households for all purposeful incoming attacks on our household.
Of all the things we do as solo momma, whatever it is that we do, that is probably the easing most important thing a single momma has to do in a day. PRAY!
Just as our babies look to us as the ones with all the answers, we must look to the one who is the answer and has all the answers!
As a solo momma, you know how quickly the intended direction of your day can change based on unforeseen circumstances and your kiddo's schedules. It's hard work being the so-called "alpha and omega" of your household and how do we hold it all together? Especially, when there is one who wants us to fall apart.
Do you ever have those days where you feel like your mind just packed up everything in your house and just moved you....yeah, just moved you out of town finding yourself in another "state of mind"?
You, know what I am talking about?
When out of nowhere you ended up in the middle of nowhere and now you don't know how to find your way back to now here? Like all of the sudden you went from one moment being totally fine and then in a "hot-flash" your mind has you headed in a whole other direction, oftentimes, leaving you stranded and with a flat tire!
Today, we are going to change the direction of those thoughts making a YOUturn - identifying your thoughts and taking them captive.
On Mother's Day, you may soon realize, kids don't realize it's Mother's Day unless someone tells them.
Sure they may make you a card in school, but come Sunday, they forget to get it out of their backpack.
If I'm honest, I hadn't thought about it either when I woke up that first Single Mother's Day morning, until I woke up. As I wiped the sleep from my eyes, I soon had to wipe away the tears as I thought about how no one was going to make me breakfast or have cards and a gift waiting for me on the kitchen table.
No one remembered to honor me that day!!! That Mother's Day was a huge disappointment and an epic failure to launch.
Whether it is your first Mother's Day as a solo momma or your 14th, Mother's Day-like holidays can be painful.
Join me as I share four things I learned from one big pity party.
Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself - Have NO Expectations.
Teach to Reach Your Children.
Make a Plan to the Plan.
Feel Your Own Feeling
Together, we will learn how to embrace this new normal as a solo momma on Mother's Day and not just see it as a cycle on your washing machine.

As a solo momma, you know what it's like to create a new normal while grieving the loss of the old at the same time, especially post COVID-19.
We were stretched to the limit like Elasta Girl from The Incredibles. We had no support of a second parent and had to find our "bounce-back" as we were forced out of the workplace due to lack of childcare - finding ourselves in a financial pinch, working from home, and now with school in our home.
Nevertheless, we somehow made it work, but how is it working for your kiddos?
We may have been able to establish some kind of new normal out of what certainly was not normal, but our kids will NEVER know the normal we once had.
Our kids are dealing with difficult stuff and can easily stuff their emotions if they aren't taught some stuff.
So how can we help our kiddos process difficult emotions during these unprecedented and unpredictable times

Do you take the time to take in all the traits that make up you or do you quickly cover yourself with make-up to conceal yourself from yourself and everyone else?
When you look in the mirror WHO do you see? What is it that you reflect on when you take in your reflection? Do you see every curve, line, texture, and tone as an imperfection or the perfecting pattern of a person called YOU?
As solo mommas and women, it is important to know our worth and value. If you don't define beauty, the world will define it for you.
Does unwelcomed advice from family remind you of why you might want to "unwelcome" some peeps from holiday parties or events? Doesn't it just seem that everyone has an opinion on your career, parenting, dating, and lifestyle choices?
Blah. Blah. Blah.
As I like to say, "It's all relative when it comes to your relatives."

Every time you see your EX do you have a holy hot flash moment?
I know, sometimes it is hard to look at him and not feel all of the history you two have shared. He may not have done something to hurt you recently or intentionally, but you still remember the feelings of hurt that can get your blood boiling!!!
But what about your kiddos?
Most likely, your children don't feel the same way you do when they see their father as he is their hero. Just like you are to them.
So how can you co-parent and still keep your cool?
Today, we are going to discuss 4-ways to Co-Parent with Grace - putting some things on ice.
Don't Make Your Kids the Monkey in the Middle - This is Not a Game.
Make Transitions Peaceful - Your Kids Hate the Hand-off too.

Today, we are going to have some fun practicing speaking our mind and speaking a word that often comes to mind, but for some crazy reason, we do mind saying it out loud.
It's funny how strange how just two letters that sit next to each other in the alphabet can really sit heavy on our hearts if we fail to express it.
So why is saying NO, so hard, and why do we see it as a bad thing as opposed to maybe a YES to a Next Opportunity. Learn more as we boil saying "no" to four next opportunities!
4 Next Opportunities:
Saying No On Your Own Terms
Maybe Next Time
Saying a No That Buys You Time
Full On Stop. NO!
Show Highlight: Learning to say "no" opens new doors to say "yes" to better things and next opportunities!
Do you feel like your life is out of control or, on the contrary, you are controlling everything so you don't lose control?
As solo mommas, we are used to controlling everyone and everything as we are doing the job of two. But, did you know that the very same control is also controlling you?
It sure is and if left unchecked, it not only checks you out from being a present parent, it also takes your breath away and the power that comes in the present moment.
So together we are going to do something different and learn how to lose some control!!!
Episode Thought Provoking Questions:
How is control controlling you?
Are you in control of your life or is God?
So how does the "perception" of being in control really change a situation or does it only end up changing you?
How many times a week do you have to be in control or whom are you controlling?
Kind of a strange question to ask, but give it some thought?
Seriously.
Would you date you, if you controlled every outcome, every conversation, and every expectation?
As solo mommas, well, we are kind of used to controlling everything and everyone because we are doing the job that was meant for two.
In this episode, we will discover how "all that" affects both you and the "potential guy" that you look to date.
Listen, mommas, in this season you have to consider if you are really ready to date, OR are there some things that need to change before you try to change someone else?
It's time to look at you and ask yourself, would you date you?
Dating in this season comes with new terms of engagement because although you may be a solo momma, you are not solo! You've got your kiddos to think about. It can be tempting to focus on romance when you're in love, but when children are involved, you have a sacred responsibility to make wise dating decisions that reflect what's best for all involved.
That's a lot to consider when you haven't even cast your line out into the fishpond yet.
Remember, you want something different and not the same mistake with a different person!
So, if you think you are ready to date again or are even considering it, let's toss around six practical tips to guide you through the process.
Your Healing Comes First
Know Your Motivation
Become the Right Person
Choose Character First
Guard Your Sexual Integrity
Wait to Involve Your Kids
CAUTION SIGNS: You need to put a stop to your dating relationship if the person you're dating does any of the following:
Pressures you to get married before you're ready to do so.
Has an extremely different approach to parenting than you do.
Is addicted to alcohol or drugs.
Demands to be the center of attention all the time.
Can't stop his or her ex-spouse from interfering in your life.
Valentine's Day is a season and reason why many solo mommas and Christian single women get bitter - it's hard, it hurts, and it highlights what we think we don't have instead of putting a spotlight on what we do have!
So today, we are going to focus on the relationship we do have, and some wisdom that is sprinkled in His Word. He is our hope, and it is He who is preparing us right now for relationships with Him, and the man who is yet to come into our life.
Luke 14:34-35 says, "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, it is thrown away.
So why would He say such a thing? What does salt do that is worthy of his word to you?
Find out more as we forget the sad and get a little bit salty up in here.
Show Highlights
You are single and saved.
He is the relationship you are looking for and He will prepare you for the relationship He has for you.
We are not capable of loving someone without conditions if we don't know the one that loved us first.
As a solo momma, you may feel that there are some things when it comes to relating and dating that haven't been quite working out for you.
Whether you are recently divorced, lost your spouse, or ended a long-term relationship, dating as a solo momma comes with new terms of engagement.
While being single in this season can be lonely, it certainly is not a reason to be sad, but it is a time to get a little salty. Come back on Valentine's Day as we try that one on for size, followed by "6 Tips for Single Moms Who Are Ready to Date", on Feb. 21, and "Would You Date on You" on Feb. 28.
It's time to discover and uncover the plans God has for us when it comes to relationships and relating to others - getting to the heart of the matter.
Show Highlights
Jesus loves us enough not to leave us where he found us.
Keep walking and working out what isn't working for you.
It may be a single mom thing, but it doesn't have to be the single thing that stops you.
Have you ever thought of financial care as a form of self-care or even an area that you may need to shape up or could use a little "lift", so to speak? If so, why not?
Today is the day, you are going to be challenged to leave your "But's" behind you. You know you're, "but I can't!" You are going to learn new ways to change those thoughts, so you can bring some real change to your financial outlook. It's your time and your dime, solo momma, how do you want to spend it?
You are a solo momma, and that plate of yours is full!
For some of you, like us, you may be spinning more than one plate and if someone serves us up one more thing for you to do, all those plates are going to come crashing to the floor, and guess whose job it will be to clean it up.
That’s right you!
So, what plates as solo mommas are we spinning and why do we feel the need to take on more? Have we given you some food for thought?
Today we are going to serve up solutions and see what is on that plate of yours!
Resistance Training - Toning Up and Tuning Out Temptations
As solo mommas raising our kiddos, who has time for resistance training, right. Most days, our kiddos are resisting us and it's all we can do to get them out the door and to school on time. That certainly doesn't leave much time for resistance training, does it? But, what type of training are we actually talking about here? Today, are going to stretch ourselves and try on some "next-level" resistance training, for what we resist persists, and will WAY into the new year. Now, that's not a good look for any of us. So get ready, get sweaty, and let's get uncomfortable. Together, we are going to isolate a temptation that gets us bent out of shape, affects us to our core, and we are going to learn how to tune it out.

We are excited to kick off our season with a month of New Year’s Solutions. It’s a new year, new you and it’s time to work out what’s not working for you! I mean, if you are going to have to work, why not work on you, right!!!
First, we are going to start losing some weight as we learn to “Let Go of Some Baggage”
Followed by a little resistance training
“Tuning Out Temptations”.
Then we are going to see what is on that plate of yours as we discuss some “Food for Thought” and close the end of the month bringing up your rear, as we
“Reshape Your Bottom Line”.
So I challenge you, solo momma to solo momma, to come back next Monday and take a step away from the pain and gain a new you!

There are some things you simply can’t control. The passing of time is one of them. You cannot stop the hands on the clock from moving forward. Time marches on whether you like it or not. And once it's gone, it's gone for good. How can you make the most of your time? Make every second count? Especially as a single mom with so many responsibilities resting on your shoulders.
