The Exact Moment

Season 1 · Episode 36

Saturday, April 19, 2025 • Duration 18:58

No one prepares you for the moment your life splits into a “before” and “after.”

This episode is a sacred return to that day — the one you may try not to remember but will never forget. Whether it came through heartbreak, loss, choice, or survival, this was the moment you became a single mama. And the world never gave you a guide for what would follow.

Marisa takes you through her own first night alone, the quiet unraveling, and the decision to rebuild not just a home — but a whole self. With tenderness and truth, she speaks directly to the woman still in the middle of her becoming, still wondering if she’s doing enough.

This is not a story about grief — it’s a story about reverence.
About softness.
About strength.
And about the healing we create when we name the thing no one else will.

If this episode resonates, share it. Whisper it. Send it to the version of you who needs to remember — you are not broken. You are becoming.

The Overexplaining TRAP

Season 1 · Episode 35

Friday, April 18, 2025 • Duration 13:58

In this episode, I give you a practice session — the real kind — for the moments when people ask the questions that sting.

“Why did you leave your marriage?” “Isn’t that selfish?” “Why would you do that to your kids?” Sound familiar?

You don’t owe anyone a novel about your survival.

You owe yourself peace.
You owe your children safety.
You owe your spirit freedom.

In this conversation, I’ll show you how I reframed the hardest question I was ever asked — and how I’ve learned to answer without defending, deflecting, or dimming my truth.

This one is for every woman who’s tired of explaining her worth.

And yes… there’s a surprise inside.

We’re launching a new way to go deeper — together.

My Inner Child - Missy

Season 1 · Episode 34

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 • Duration 16:26

This episode of Love Letters to Single Mamas is a return. A reckoning. A whisper to the little girl I left behind so many times just to survive.

“Missy” is more than a nickname. She’s the piece of me that watched it all — the fear, the silence, the endurance — and carried the weight when I couldn’t. This episode is me finally sitting beside her, listening to her grief, and offering her something I never knew how to give: permission to come home.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body holds so much, why your voice sometimes shakes when you speak the truth, or why you can’t stop crying when you’re finally safe… this episode is for you.

It’s not perfect. It’s not polished. But it’s real. This is a prayer. A memory. A retrieval. And maybe — just maybe — it’s yours too.

Somewhere along the line, someone convinced you that you were too much, too complicated, too exhausted, or too broken to be truly loved.

That was a lie.

In this episode, Marisa speaks directly to the tender spaces — the ones carrying shame, resentment, and the silent ache for softness. This is not a lecture. This is a reminder. A reclamation.

You are not hard to love.
You are not difficult.
You are not too anything.

You’ve just been holding more than most, with less support than you ever deserved.

Let this episode be a hand on your back.
A whisper back into your body.
And a truth you can finally believe.

You are already worthy.
You are already lovable.
You are already enough.
