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

Episode 41: Mother's Day Special | Single Moms – Super Moms & That Is Enough

Happy Mother's Day to every mother, this podcast is for every single mom, tired mom, praying mom, the mom who keeps showing up even when life feels heavy.

In this special Mother's Day episode of X and the Single Mom, we are celebrating the beauty, strength, sacrifice, and sacred responsibility of motherhood. But we are also having an honest conversation about a phrase many single moms have said before: "I'm the mother and the father."

This episode lovingly reminds single moms that you do not have to carry a title that was never yours to prove your strength. A father's role is a separate role with separate responsibilities, and trying to carry both can create an emotional burden you were never meant to bare.

-          You are not the mother and the father.

-          You are the mother.

-          And motherhood is powerful all by itself.

In this episode, we talk about honoring your role, releasing unnecessary pressure, understanding the difference between standing in the gap and becoming someone, you are not, and remembering that being a super mom does not mean being everything to everybody:

You are allowed to need help, build support, admit that one person cannot (nor should they want to) replace an entire role. Remember, especially on this day.  You are still worthy of honor.

This Mother's Day, the message is simple: You are not a substitute father. You are not required to be two people, trying to take on dual rolls. Most of you are super moms and that is more than enough.

Thank you for being part of this journey. If this episode speaks to you, share it with another mom who needs it.

Hello Queens:

RE: Shout Out to Single Dads: Supporting Single Fathers | EP37

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 XSMpodcast@gmail.com 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

Single Mom Burnout - How to Protect your Peace | EP36

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.

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.

Hello Queens.

In this episode of X and the Single Mom, we unpack some of the difference between being a Single Mom and being a Single - Single Mom (aka Solo Mom). Sounds like a play on words, well it is but, not really. There is a distinction.

Your host, Yasmin dives into what it really means when you're parenting solo - living solo with your child(ren).  We'll explore why the title/position carries a distinction between the two terms. How would / or do you even think about this? I have to thank Tia Mowry for this topic. So ask yourself are you a single mom, or a single-single mom?

Greetings to my queens, single moms.

As single moms, taking care of yourself can be extremely challenging. Moms juggle multiple responsibilities, including your most important role, raising your children, followed by managing your household tasks, working and simply living your life.  It is very, very easy to neglect your own needs and well-being in the midst all of you need to accomplished. 

However, prioritizing self-care is CRITICAL for your mental and physical health, as well as your ability to be effective and present for your children. With all this in mind. I developed this important episode series on self-care. 

Keep this in mind, taking care of yourself IS NOT selfish, but essential for your OVERALL well-being and for your ability to be the best mother you can be.

Greetings, Queens

XSM (X and the Single Mom) present another great podcast for your listening pleasure. This episode explores the ups, downs, and all-around of what may transpires in your life when your ex has a new woman. This is indeed difficult (you) single mom must learn to deal with the fact that her ex and your child's father has a new love and moved on. 

In this episode, we will also talk about co-parenting.  How does that unfold in your household?  When a father is ready, willing, and able DO NOT interfere.  Please do everything to make this bond work. Remember, it is NOT ABOUT YOU, it is about YOUR child.  Just because a man is not a suitable mate for you doesn't necessarily make him a terrible father. 

We will address the important topic of co-parenting and dealing with the new women in future episodes.

Disclaimer, we are not suggesting if the child is in danger to *allow this relationship* or condone unsupervised visits.
