SoloMoms! Talk: Recent Episodes
J. Rosemarie
Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives.
Host, J. Rosemarie welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives.
This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone. Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM.
Solo moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children. ___________________________________________________________ The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of solo moms around the world. Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner. _________________________________________________________ I want solo moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence. Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 1) bring awareness to the struggles of solo moms; 2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 3) reduce the number of solo moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 4) to help them see themselves as God sees them. _________________________________________________________ Website: https://bit.ly/3IWWSiP

After years of starting projects and having trouble finishing them, I’m so happy to finally share some amazing news. My Courage to Believe: 21-Day Devotional for Single Moms is becoming real, and I can’t wait for you to have it.
As a divorced mom who has been through the challenges of single motherhood, I know the ups and downs we face every day. Sometimes we feel strong and in control, and other times we question our strength, our faith, and whether we can keep going. These feelings don’t just go away. They come and go, each needing our attention and care.
This devotional came from my own experience moving 900 miles from Atlanta to New York with my two youngest sons, to take a two-week job. I wasn’t sure I had enough faith, but through it all, God’s help was clear.
What Sets This Devotional ApartInstead of just giving simple encouragement, I’ve made sure each day speaks to the real feelings we face as single moms. We’ll talk about fear, anger, loneliness, and grief. Grief isn’t just about death—it can also come from losing relationships, security, or even our sense of self.
I’ve included the story of Hagar from the Old Testament. God saw her, cared for her, and protected her when she was pregnant and alone, and later as a single mother. Her story shows us that God never overlooks us, even when we feel alone.
Addressing the Difficult TopicsSome of these devotions might bring up hard memories for anyone who has faced domestic violence, as I have. I’ve handled these topics gently, knowing our feelings often come from how we were treated by people who said they loved us. Forgiveness is important for our healing—not for them, but for our own freedom.
What to ExpectThis isn’t just another devotional meant to make you feel good. Here’s what you’ll get from these 21 days:
- You’ll know your feelings are normal, and that God truly understands them.
- Biblical view on the struggles that are unique to single moms.
- Support to discover your path to healing that links your struggles to God’s everlasting love.
- Practical advice for dealing with fear, anger, and loneliness.
- Encouragement from real-life stories and truths from scripture.
- Support to discover your path to healing that links your struggles to God’s everlasting love.
The ebook is ready for pre-order now, and hardcover and paperback versions will be out in the first week of December. Every pre-order comes with journal sheets to help you reflect and use what you learn.
You’re doing more than enough, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. You’re not alone on this journey, and there is someone whose grace will carry you through.
Whether your faith feels strong or you’re just barely holding on, this devotional meets you right where you are. Together, we’ll find the courage to believe in God’s plan, accept His love, and discover that we can do more than just get by—we can thrive as single moms.

Are you caught up in the belief that expensive equals meaningful? As gift-giving season approaches, it's easy to fall into the trap of measuring love and worth by price tags and material possessions. But what if the most precious gifts can't be purchased at all?
The Real Gifts That MatterWe live in a culture that conditions us to believe bigger, shinier, and more expensive automatically means more love, more value, more worth. Social media feeds this mindset, leaving us feeling empty and overlooked when we can't keep up financially. But there's a beautiful truth we often miss: the most meaningful gifts come from the heart, not the wallet.
Everyday Angels in ActionI'll share a powerful personal story from Christmas Eve 2005 when Pennsylvania state troopers became my angels on a dark highway. Their gift of time and kindness, asking for nothing in return became a blessing I carry with me nearly two decades later. These moments remind us that every good and perfect gift is from above, often delivered through ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
What You'll DiscoverHere's what you can expect from this episode on recognizing true gifts:
- Identify the gifts we overlook - time, presence, joy, and unconditional love that surround us daily.
- Understand how cultural conditioning tricks us into valuing material things over heart connections.
- Recognize everyday angels who show up without fanfare to offer exactly what we need.
- Shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance by noticing non-material blessings.
- Learn practical ways to acknowledge, appreciate, and pay forward these precious gifts.
Transform Your Heart and HomeWhen we start recognizing these heart gifts, everything changes. Gratitude replaces emptiness. Community grows stronger. We feel less alone because we see how God places helpers along our path. Most importantly, our worth stops being tied to what we can buy or what others can buy us.
What if we taught our children to value these lasting gifts too? Imagine the world we could create if we measured love by presence instead of presents.
This episode will help you live gift-conscious rather than money-conscious, opening your eyes to the divine blessings that flow through human hands every single day.

Drawing from my own experiences as a divorced mom and child of abandonment, I explore the transformative power of forgiveness - not just for others, but for ourselves. This isn't about letting someone off the hook; it's about freeing ourselves from the burden of pain and resentment so we can heal our hearts.
Why Forgiveness MattersI share my personal journey of forgiving my mother, a decision that quite literally saved my life. Through this story, I illustrate how holding onto anger can be physically and emotionally destructive, while forgiveness can bring profound relief and peace.
The Three Facets of Forgiveness1. Forgiving others: Understanding why it's essential and what happens when we don't.
-
Forgiving ourselves: Addressing the guilt and self-blame that often plagues single moms.
-
Forgiving those in our faith communities: Navigating the unique pain of being hurt by fellow believers.
A Biblical PerspectiveWe'll examine forgiveness through a spiritual lens, reflecting on Christ's ultimate act of forgiveness and how it relates to our own struggles. I reference Ephesians 4:32, reminding us of our call to forgive as we have been forgiven.
Key Takeaways* Forgiveness is about your healing, not about the other person * Unforgiveness is like a wound that never heals * Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others * Even people in our faith communities can hurt us - they're human too * Forgiveness doesn't excuse the behavior, but it frees you from its grip
This episode is part of a larger series on emotions that single moms often face. I encourage you to listen to the related episodes on anger, fear, and worry for a more comprehensive understanding of these challenges.
As we conclude, I extend an invitation for connection and further discussion. Whether you're seeking mentorship or simply want to share your thoughts on this topic, I'm here to listen and support you on your journey towards healing and forgiveness.

How does worry become the thief of the solo mom's peace?
I remember many nights I lie awake “borrowing trouble,” replaying worries about my job, finances, and my children’s safety.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on how chronic worry steals our peace. I also discuss the biblical truths and practical supports that helped me exchange sleepless nights for real rest, peace, and renewed courage.
Finally, connection beats isolation. Therapy, church community, and Solo Moms Connect all provide safe spaces to process emotions and find support.
Key Takeaways:
02:30 Worry is “borrowing trouble.” It drains energy, keeps you awake at night, and never solves anything.
04:10 Worry and fear are tangled but distinct. Naming “worry” separately helps you address it head-on instead of letting it hide behind generic “stress.”
10:15 You can’t solve anything by worrying, but you can by praying and planning. Scripture invites us to bring our needs to God so we can take action with clarity.
12:00 Rest comes from God’s promises. Verses in Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Psalm 55, and Isaiah 41 anchor anxious hearts and restore sleep.

In this episode, we explore how fear impacts solo moms, influencing how we raise our children, build relationships, and pursue our dreams.
Also, I encourage you to reflect on what you would do if fear didn’t hold you back.
Finally, I include scripture to remind you that fear is not from God.
Key Takeaways:
- Fear can shape major aspects of life and parenting often leads to missed opportunities or overly cautious decisions if not managed with care.
- Unchecked fear creates invisible barriers to achieving your dreams, taking risks, or trusting fully, but with faith, you can overcome these barriers.
- Scripture reminds us that fear is not from God; instead, God gives power, love, and self-control to navigate fear with wisdom and courage.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

Love doesn't hurt.
I'm reminded of this truth while reading my latest book. It's a story about a woman who's brutally and routinely beaten by her husband.
Unfortunately, this is not just fiction. Every day millions of women are brutally beaten by people who say they love them. And it's not only the physical abuse that hurts.
In this episode, I reiterate the concept that love doesn't hurt. I talk about Christ's love for the church and can't imagine that he would hit His bride in the face or kick her with His foot.
Love Doesn't Hurt is a simple yet profound call to action for solo moms to look within and connect with a loving savior whose love is unconditional.
This Valentine's Day, if you find yourself alone and not where you want to be, remember, solo mom. Love doesn't hurt.
"Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. ~ Romans 13:10

Summary
In this episode, Dr. Lum Frundi, a pediatrician and founder of Generational Wellbeing, discusses the challenges of dealing with picky eaters and how parents can foster a healthy relationship with food for their children.
The discussion covers the developmental phases of eating, the importance of modeling healthy eating habits, and practical strategies for solo moms to encourage their children to eat better.
Dr. Frundi emphasizes the significance of mealtime as a bonding experience and offers insights into incorporating cultural foods into our children's diets.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding Picky Eaters (01:07-01:55): Dr. Lum explains the difference between typical picky eating as a developmental phase and more serious food avoidance behaviors. She highlights that picky eating often stems from children asserting their independence and preferences.
- Control with Freedom: Setting Boundaries (03:52-04:55): Dr. Lum shares a practical approach for parents: control what food is brought into the house and offer children structured choices. This method gives children a sense of control while maintaining healthy eating habits.
- The Power of Modeling (06:08-07:50): Parents shape their children’s eating habits by modeling healthy behavior. Our discussion emphasizes the importance of parents eating meals with their kids to inspire long-term healthy choices.
- Connecting Over Meals (11:37-13:00): Mealtimes are opportunities to connect with your kids beyond the plate. Asking children why they dislike certain foods and involving them in meal prep builds familiarity and strengthens your relationship with them and food.
- Grace and Patience (24:01-24:58): Dr. Lum advises solo moms to give themselves grace and time when dealing with picky eaters. She notes that children’s food preferences often evolve as they grow, and modeling good eating habits consistently will eventually pay off.
Bio: Dr. Frundi is a board-certified pediatrician and the founder of Generational Wellbeing, an online resource dedicated to helping parents overcome mealtime challenges with picky eaters. With a focus on practical solutions and emotional support, Dr. Frundi provides parents with the tools to create healthy eating habits and reduce mealtime stress. Through her courses, workshops, and one-on-one coaching, she has helped countless families turn food battles into moments of connection.

02:00 Jeff introduces the concept of the "five regulations" in meditation—body, breath, mind, energy, and spirit—which serve as the fundamental tools for any meditation practice.
03:00 Regulating the body and breath is essential for managing stress and anxiety and can enhance physical and mental performance.

Summary
In this episode, I discuss the evolving goals of solo moms, and talk about the importance of self-awareness and practical goal-setting strategies.
I encourgae you to reflect on their desires and set specific, realistic goals while you navigate the challenges of motherhood.
If you're seeking connection, don't parent alone. Join our community to amplify your voice and to get the support you need.
And remember, you are the real hero in your story.
Takeaways
(00:01:33) Evolving Goals as Solo Moms: As children grow older, our’ goals, desires, and needs change. It's important to reassess these goals regularly and prioritize new ones, such as personal ambitions that may have been put on hold.
(02:30:89) Self-Awareness is Key: Self-awareness is the starting point for achieving goals. Solo moms often focus so much on their children's lives that they lose track of their own identity. Taking time to reflect on who you are as an individual is essential for growth.
(04:54:09) Journaling as a Tool for Clarity: A simple journaling exercise, where you write down who you are, what you love, and what you want to achieve, can help bring clarity, especially during chaotic or crisis-filled moments.
(07:16:95) Setting Specific Goals: When setting goals, specificity is key. Instead of vague goals like "getting out of debt," focus on achievable, clear goals like paying off a specific credit card or saving a certain amount by a deadline.
(08:22:38) Crisis Can Feel Overwhelming: In the middle of a crisis, it’s easy to feel out of control and lose perspective. A small exercise like journaling can help regain some focus and allow you to think more strategically during difficult times.

How we respond to circumstances affects how well we manage stress. In this episode, I review ways we typically handle stress and share some tips such as decluttering different aspects of our lives.
Key Takeaways:
(00:00:46) – Your Reaction Shapes the Outcome: How you react to stress and challenging situations determines the outcomes. A negative reaction often increases stress and leads to poor decisions.
(01:24:78) – Stress and Burnout from Life Events: Life challenges, such as family deaths, family drama, and managing multiple responsibilities like podcasting, led to burnout and stress. Finding ways to manage stress is crucial.
(03:26:13) – The Power of Organizing: Organizing your thoughts, mindset, workspace, and living space is essential in managing stress. It’s not just about physical decluttering but mental and emotional organization.
(08:22:16) – Seek Help and Resources: It’s important not to shy away from seeing a therapist or talking to someone if you’re overwhelmed. Check workplace programs or find trusted individuals in your community.

Does a solo mom with limited means need asset protection strategies?
The only answer is, yes!
In this conversation, Scherrie Prince, an attorney, coach, and speaker, discusses the importance of asset protection for entrepreneurs, particularly solo moms and mompreneurs.
She explains how protecting personal and business assets can create a secure foundation for the future. Sherrie shares her personal experiences and what motivated her to become an asset protection coach.
Scherrie provides three tips for solo moms to protect their assets and emphasizes the need to regularly do an asset checkup and update important documents.
Scherrie also explains her role as an asset protection coach and how she helps clients create a unified plan. She concludes by encouraging listeners to start their asset protection plan today.
Takeaways
- Protecting personal and business assets is important to protect your interests and ensure a smooth transition in case of unforeseen circumstances such as death or incapacitation
- One way for solo moms to protect their assets is to regularly review and update their beneficiary designations and important documents to protect their assets. (e.g. is your ex still a beneficiary on your life insurance?)
- An asset protection coach can help individuals create a unified plan and work with their existing team of professionals to optimize their asset protection strategies.
- Asset protection is not limited to those with significant wealth; everyone can benefit from having a plan in place to protect their assets.
- Recognize that you already may have a financial team (bank, insurance agent, tax preparer, etc.)

In this episode I speak with Crystal Fedeli, an alcohol recovery coach who shares her story of triumph over alcohol use disorder.
Listen as we peel back the layers of her personal struggle with alcohol addiction.
We delve into the complications of alcohol use disorder, probing the notion of remission and the need for interventions tailored to the neurochemical imbalances of addiction, much like how cochlear implants serve physical impairments.
Crystal's candid revelations not only illuminate her own path to sobriety but also highlight a message of hope and the promise of a renewed life for those entangled in the grip of alcohol.
Using Chrystal's experience, we challenge entrenched beliefs about the origins of alcoholism and the efficacy of conventional treatment protocols.
Her journey reflects a distinction between the ability to moderate drinking and the relentless hold of a neurochemical disorder.
Our dialogue pivots to uncovering the transformative potential of alternative recovery approaches that address the biological and neurological facets of addiction.
Crystal's voice carries with it the weight of experience and the clarity of hindsight, as we unravel the intertwined threads of addiction, underscoring that recovery is within reach with the right support and unwavering persistence.

Question: What topic would you like to hear me talk about on this podcast?
Summary
When Dr. Terry Zachary was just a boy, his single mother's resilience in the face of adversity left a lasting impression on him. In this episode, he shares how that early life experience inspired the Handmaster Plus, a solution for anyone from athletes to solo moms dealing with the discomfort from the repetitive task of using a computer keyboard.
Do your fingers ache after a long day at the keyboard? Have you ever considered the intricate ballet of muscles at play when you grip a steering wheel?
Our conversation about hand health is more than medical jargon; it's a lesson in anatomy for ordinary individuals and a practical guide to better living through balanced muscle training.
We examined the life of a golfer with tennis elbow. Dr. Zachary explains how that led to a tool that professional athletes, office workers, and busy mothers can use to help maintain healthy hands and avoid common injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Listen to this heart-to-heart discussion on embracing the tough times, finding the silver lining, and learning to thrive—not despite life's hurdles, but because of them.

As a solo mom, I can't tell you how many nights I lay awake worried about my sons. This fear over their safety and wellbeing often created conflict because I was parenting through fear instead of love.
So if you find yourself at odds with your teenager or realize that you are often puzzled about your relationship with your child maybe you are parenting from a place of fear -- instead of love.
Listen to this enlightening conversation with Jim White, founder of the Family Enrichment Academy, as we delve into the dynamic dance of parenting through love rather than fear.
With a legacy of a 41-year-strong marriage, six children, and the delight of 13 grandchildren, Jim's insights are a tapestry woven from personal experiences. We discussed the fragility of long-term relationships and the unpredictable nature of parenting, emphasizing the transformative power of love over fear.
Jim offers a treasure trove of wisdom on the pitfalls of fear-based parenting—a reflection of our insecurities—and how an intentional love-based approach can create a thriving environment for both children and parents alike.
Our heartfelt discussion examines the landscape of intentional parenting, providing actionable strategies that are especially pertinent during the difficult teenage years. By championing love as a conscious choice and a guiding light in our everyday interactions, we illustrate how it can reshape our family dynamics into something healthier and more connected.
Jim also shares his four-step process for shifting from fear to love in your parenting playbook, starting with emotional awareness and the art of the pause, progressing through forgiveness, and compassion, culminating in the celebration of gratitude and empowerment.
Prepare to be inspired as we share these insights, offering guidance for parents ready to embrace this transformative journey and fortify the bonds within their families.

Despite the dark days of winter, I'm filled with gratitude and can't help but extend my heartfelt wishes to you, my beloved solo mom.
This episode isn't just about holiday cheer; it's a celebration of our collective strength and the vibrant community we've cultivated. Together, we've navigated the rollercoaster of solo motherhood through 176 episodes filled with stories, advice, and interviews that have brought us laughter, tears, and an abundance of joy.
Get cozy with a cup of hot cocoa (or a glass of wine) as we revisit some of the most inspiring conversations, like the one with Robyn Sears, that have encouraged us to maintain a growth mindset through adversity.
We'll also celebrate the triumphs of solo moms such as Kim Becker and Zehra Mahoon, who have turned betrayal into a celebration of life.
Finally, as I step into the next chapter with 'SoloMoms! Talk: The Empty Nest Years, launching in February, my birthday month, I invite you to join me. This new monthly podcast will reflect the unique transition to the empty nest years, a phase both daunting and liberating.
Remember, as we look to the future with hope, we're reminded by Psalm 121 that we are never alone in this incredible journey.

J. Rosemarie FrancisHost00:00My guest today is Parker Harris, who started his first company at 17 years old. Parker also was recruited by the president of the United States to speak at leadership conferences across the country and, at 20 years old, he almost died in a car accident and made the choice to walk people out of his life that were taking advantage of him and starred fresh. Hmm, this is Solomon's talk.
Parker HarrisGuest00:29Tired, weary, frustrated. What would you be doing if you weren't raising children alone? What's stopping you from living your best life now? On Solomon's talk, I discussed with solo mothers the challenges you face raising children alone. So if you're a working solo mom dealing with independent children, insensitive bosses, weight and health issues or even debt collectors, join us as we discover your path to get and stay healthy, increase your income and live with joy and purpose. In this battle of life, it's hard to keep your head above the water. So win this fight.
J. Rosemarie FrancisHost01:29Although this podcast was specifically created for solo moms and to curate the stories of solo moms globally, I also wanted to include helpful tips and strategies for solo moms to live more joyful lives, and it's for that reason that I interview experts like today's guests, whose personal experiences and wisdom can help you in your everyday life. Welcome, parker.
Speaker 3Host01:58Thank you, Rosemary.
J. Rosemarie FrancisHost02:01OK, so I really appreciate you coming and talking to me. For me it's the middle of my day, but I understand it's the end of your day, so we'll make this snappy while giving value to our audience yeah, OK.
Speaker 3Host02:16I have a number of calls scheduled after this so video as long as OK, I appreciate you.
J. Rosemarie FrancisHost02:24All right, so before we get into it, tell us who is Parker Harris.
Speaker 3Host02:30Who is Parker Harris.
02:33So I really think of myself first and foremost as a leader.
02:37That's something that I've always valued and I'm someone that likes to create value for other people and I started doing that in a nonprofit at an early age.
02:47I was really involved with the YMCA and some after school programs and just different nonprofits and then I started getting really interested in politics and then I found out business was the place where I could add the most value and I sort of tried to solve different problems in health initially was the company that I started in 17 was a nutrition and health company, and over time I invested a lot into different personal development experiences, professional development experiences, and I noticed a lot of return from those investments of that time and that experience.
03:33But I think at the end of the day, the most valuable thing I got from those putting myself in those different spaces or different experiences was the people that I met and I was fortunate enough over time to really be careful to curate who I brought into my life and made part of my inner circle and that has been a really good decision for me and it's something that I now do full time is create a mastermind for entrepreneurs and executives to come together in a confidential environment to share different ideas, opportunities and challenges and get support and also be challenged by the other peers around the table, and so that's what I facilitate and lead is my main focus professionally.
J. Rosemarie FrancisHost04:29OK, all right, thank you for sharing and we will get into more about your work and what you can do for someone in our audience. So thank you for sharing that personal...

In this interview, we talk about how she became a solo mom later in life. Claire describes her challenges with co-parenting with her son's addicted father.

Having unresolved trauma can distract us from our goals and kill our joy.
In this interview, I sit down with Elizabeth Cush (LCPC), a licensed clinical professional counselor, women's life coach, and business owner. Elizabeth is also the host of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, and she shares her valuable insights on mental health, self-care, and dealing with past trauma.
Elizabeth's perspective on the importance of mental health and self-care is clear - it's not just about feeling good, but about being able to show up fully in life.
But what about past trauma that continues to linger and affect our present-day well-being? Elizabeth stresses the importance of addressing past trauma in order to move forward in life. She recommends seeking out therapy or counseling to process and heal from past trauma.
But how does unresolved trauma seep into our everyday life and affect our decisions? Elizabeth illustrates how unresolved trauma can lead to self-sabotaging behaviors and repeating negative patterns.
It's not just about individual instances of trauma, but about the accumulation of unresolved experiences that can shape our beliefs and actions.
Through this interview, we gain valuable knowledge and understanding on the importance of addressing past trauma to improve overall well-being.

Is there a connection between stress and menopause? In this episode, I talk with Angel Counsel, Naturopath, kinesiologist, and Personalized Health Coach. She believes that when women understand what's happening with their hormones, they don't have to be afraid and they can make better decisions. Takeaways: In menopause, the messages between the brain and the ovaries start to shut down. The brain switches its connection from the brain to the adrenal glands, and the stress hormones from the adrenals get mixed up. Menopause is a transition out of reproductive age. It is not normal to have symptoms. Women should listen to their bodies and take care of their own health, not rely on pills to solve their problems
Connect with Angela: https://angelacounsel.com/speaking/ Bio: Angela Counsel is a naturopath, kinesiologist, and personalized health coach from Sydney, Australia. She has over 20 years of experience helping women with their health, including going through menopause herself. Angela is passionate about teaching women about their hormones and how to manage their symptoms without relying on pills. https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=jenniferfrancis1 (This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.)

Kimberly Bell is a working solo mom of 5 children (4 of whom are adults) and 6 grandchildren. Kimberly finds creating balance a challenge sometimes as there are so many aspects to solo parenting. She also thinks that within that balance solo moms must remember to care for themselves as well. One way Kimberly manages is to connect with God and her spirituality to get the strength and wisdom she needs. Kimberly agrees that we minimize our struggles by depending on God for guidance. A balanced life doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you live in the moment. You do what works in that moment. Kimberly shares her story of being adopted after her biological parents dropped her off at 5 years old and never came back for her.

Renee Marie Simpson is a busy solo mom who advocates for sexual assualt awareness in Australia. But that's just the beginning. She runs group/support programs and is really passionate about supporting, young women. Along with her friend, Renee used her gap year to take a sailing trip across the ocean. During the trip they experienced a category 5 cyclone, mechanical failures and a host of other issues. The onslaught of Murphy's law made Renee stop to take stock of her life. No longer in an alcohol induced haze, she remembered being raped by her friend's boyfriend. She was encouraged not to report the crime because she spoke to the wrong person. At the time Australia also had laws on the books that fined rape victims up to $10,000 for speaking about being raped. Thankfully the #metoo Movement inspired change with initiative such as #LettHerSpeak. Still Renee was holding or masking so much trauma. I've learned that those monsters we keep stuffing under our beds will one day not have enough room and will come bursting out. She finally acknowledged all the sexual trauma she had experience from the age of six years old. What to do if you're suffering in silence after sexual abuse (16:16). Some helpful discussion on healing yourself follows. Grab a copy of Renee's book detailing her experiences: https://amzn.to/39kqH00 (I Want To Go Home: Reclaiming power after sexual).

Mayim Vega is a naturopathic herbalist who teaches people the art and science of holistic health and healing. She found solace in being a mother to her 7 children during a time when she felt her marriage wasn't what she thought it would be. Mayim homeschooled all her children and raised them without the need for pharmaceutical drugs, conventional medical doctors, or even dentists. She used motherhood as the impetus for starting an online business and becoming a naturopathic coach. Mayim who is a former atheist, added some depth to the conversation as we delve into some of our own religious beliefs.

The workplace can be a difficult and sometimes dangerous place for solo moms. But can you imagine dealing with the hormonal effects of your monthly cycle or symptoms of menopause while trying to fit in at work? Women, especially women going through menopause are outnumbered in the boardroom and all signs point to the fact that talking about the symptoms of menopause or even mentioning that you have hot flashes can be career suicide. Kind of strange right? Dr. Nancy Belcher breaks down the symptoms of menopause and how hormone therapy can help to master hormonal imbalance during menopause. Regardless of the stigma associated with hormonal changes in our bodies the onus is on us to own our experience and not be timid to talk about what we're going through. Nancy also encourages moms to talk openly with their daughters about the stages women go through especially from puberty to menopause.

America's Reading Ambassador, Danny Brassell gave me an exciting interview in this episode. It was fun because Danny is as excited about reading as I am. He's the author of several https://amzn.to/3p7sFpi (books) about reading and leadership. Main takeaway from Danny to parents: "Teach children how to read. Not what to read."In addition, Danny has this quick tip for parents who think their kids watch too much TV and not enough reading: Turn on the Closed Caption feature on the television. Closed Caption is the reason Finland's kids are top readers even though they watch more television. This interview is filled with anecdotes and stories that will warm your heart and let you want to go read to your kids right now. See what Danny and his partner are doing to help eliminate cyberbullying with https://cybersmarties.com (Cybersmarties).

She points out how different the relationship is when you are a solo parent of a teenager. Dr, Cam is focused on giving teens a voice so we as parents can better understand them. When we make our children's lives about our own, we tend to feel guilty as a parent. "We are our teenagers' safe harbor, so we get a lot of their storm because they know they can trust us". ~ Dr. Cam CasellIn this discussion, Dr. Cam who is a solo mom of a teenage daughter, talks about: Giving our teens space to be themselves Re-examine the way we view "disrespect" Be more aware of the relationship we have with our teens as solo moms. When it's time to let them go (college, out on their own, etc.), focus on wha't best for them.

"When kids end up in the system, very tragic things can happen" ~ Cassandra SpencerCassandra Spencer is a journalist, court reform advocate, and author. The story is gut wrenching. Yet heartening. Because she is using her experience to help others churning in the family court system. When it comes to dealing with divorce and child custody. Be prepared. Don't show up to a gunfight with a knife.

Bullying is prevalent in all areas of life. It starts with school children and can be very painful for the victims. Bullying also takes place at work and in cyberspace. It all adds up to the same thing. One human being abusing another. #itsnotyouitsthem Build emotional resilience in kids Bullies have problems they take out on others Some adults take the experience of being bullied from the school yard into their own heads There's a fine line between aggression and bullying in the workplace emotional bullying can be harder to determine but is still harmful

Do you ever wonder what’s happening to a service member’s family while they are overseas? Who’s taking care of their children, for instance? In today's episode, I talk to Doris Branford who is an army wife. That means this young mother has to handle life at home while he serves overseas. Being a solo mom doesnt’ necessarily mean that you are single. But Doris doesn’t only take care of her young baby. She left her corporate job just before lockdown to start a new business as a Virtual Assistant. She's fearless, strong, and focused. I’ve been fortunate to be Doris’ client as she is very efficient and pays attention to details. So in the year of lockdown she started a new business, while having a baby under 2 years old. At the same time missing her husband who is serving overseas. Pardon the input from her baby but this is a mom show, right? :) Points we discussed: - If you want it bad enough, you have to make the sacrifices necessary to go after it. - success doesn’t equal happiness. - You can make excuses but action gets it done Let us remember our service members, especially during the holiday season.

This solo mom did not grab a rocking chair after her kids flew the nest. As an empty nester Sheila went back to school sometimes taking the same classes as her son. She talks about her experience going back to school and graduating magna cum laude with a BA in cultural anthropology when she was 52 (attending UCLA at the same time as both her sons). Sheila started doing stand-up comedy, moved to Europe, and earned a master's degree in Media & Culture at age 56. "Since I was having trouble finding a decent job afterward (degrees notwithstanding}, I started my own travel business at 60. My story will resonate with a lot of other women who face similar situations." Sheila Stone rebuilt her life after divorce. She raised her two sons and went on to discover her true purpose and value. We often hear "this too shall pass". And it's not a cliche. Solo moms, if you are experiencing what may seems like the worst time of your life. Please remember it gets better.

Author, speaker, and mom of two adult daughters, Kelly Radi sat down with me to talk about raising teenagers. In the first of this Education Series, Radi also reiterates that we should use the college application process as a teachable moment. We talked about:
- keeping the line of communications open with our teens and young adults;
- using the college application process to cement their learning about money & finance; and
- learning to let go when the time is right

Alicia raised two daughters solo during the past 14 years. She sees getting married very young as a factor in becoming a solo mom. Age seems to be a running theme for a number of divorced solo moms.
What can be done about young people getting married early? Would marriage education -- and not just a few hours of counseling -- increase the likelihood that more marriages would last?
Whatever our experiences, we can still move on to become strong, confident women, who are whole. Connect with Alicia @iamempoweredunicorn Website: http://strongereveryday.net/ (www.strongereveryday.net) Support this show by becoming a https://www.patreon.com/solomomstalk (Patron)

She mothers 5 children solo while working full time, managing a side business, and training for a spartan race. How does she do it? She tries not to get tripped up by the little things (4:10). "No matter what life throws at you, no matter what stands in the way of whatever goal you set for yourself. You can persevere. You can do it. No matter what, it's in you." ~ Ashley Street (22:54) Ashley Street has learned that just because she is a solo mom doesn't mean she has to do it alone. For example, listen as she describes her mindset around co-parenting with her ex (5:17).

Optimal health can be an elusive phenomenon for the busy solo mom. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with International speaker and health coach, Gunther Mueller about that.
Gunther spends a lot of his time training medical professionals, but he spends just as much time educating "regular folks" on how to take care of themselves with a more natural approach to true Optimal Health. His mission is to help at least 10 million people take charge of their Health Destiny. If your hormones are out of balance Gunther explains why that is. He also gave us the top 5 tests you should ask for when you go for your annual physical. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (III John 1:2)

Allison and I have served together and I admire her so much, especially for her strength and perseverance.

Amber Luffman is a married mother of a three-year-old daughter. Yet she considers herself a solo mom. She tells her story of a broken marriage and having a husband who suffers from addiction. As a young woman, mothering solo, Amber is learning to trust God as she navigates supporting her husband who is often absent, while balancing her own business, writing a book, and nurturing her young daughter.

I spent the last 23 years of my life focused on myself and my children. In this first episode of Season 2, I explain how I thought being broken led me to a life of raising children alone. I didn't know how to be a wife. But instead of living a life of bitterness and unforgiveness, I did a simple exercise that helped me put into focus the choices I had made. Take a listen and leave a comment and tell me what you think. Next week you will hear the story of Amber Luffman. You don't want to miss her story. Can a mom be married but still solo? Find out how. https://jrosemarie.ck.page/1ea4390ad5 (All things SoloMoms! Talk) https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=jenniferfrancis1 (This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.)
