It's A Single Mom Thing
Welcome to “It's A Single Mom Thing,” the show for single moms by single moms, hosted by Sherry Chandler. Being a solo momma and present parent is hard work, and losing focus is easy when you forget your faith. The good news is you are not alone. You were singled out this season, and together, we can work on what’s not working for you—finding Christ in the crisis! Whether you’re tuning in early in the morning or late at night, I’m here for you, momma. This podcast is your go-to space for navigating life as a single mom with faith, fun, and a fresh perspective. We'll cover everything from mastering a single-mom success mindset and budgeting like a boss to prioritizing self-care and raising resilient kids. We’ll share time management hacks, parenting perspectives, co-parenting challenges, and how to find joy and laugh again. Together, we’ll move from surviving to thriving in every season of single motherhood. Be encouraged. Get inspired. You can do this, momma. Each Monday, join me for practical advice, relatable stories, and uplifting conversations as we walk this journey from solo momma to solo momma. I promise not to take too much of your time, and I’m so grateful you’re spending it with me. It may be a single mom thing, but it doesn’t have to be the "single thing" that stops you!

Can You Sit With Me in This?
Ever feel like you're the one holding everything together, but wonder who's holding space for you?
This week on It's a Single Mom Thing, we're having a different kind of conversation. One about the things we carry, the words we sometimes struggle to say, and what it means to truly be seen.
Grab your coffee, pull up a cushion on my plush velvet couch, and come as you are.
No fixing ...
What does a Publix freezer aisle have to do with trusting God?
More than you’d think.
When you can’t see what God is doing, when He seems quiet, and you can't see the whole staircase—maybe you don't need more light.
Maybe you just need enough for the next step.
Single mama, you don't have to know where this is going. You just need to know Who you're walking with.
Grab your ...
You put the fig leaf down. You opened your heart.
And then...somebody hurt you.
Now what? 🌿
In Part Two of The Courage to Be Seen, we're talking about staying vulnerable without leaving the door unlocked-speaking truth in love, setting boundaries without building walls, and learning who actually gets a backstage pass to your heart.
Because, girlfriend, a soft heart doesn't have to be an unprotected one.
What if there’s more of you underneath the version everyone knows? 🌿
A fig leaf. A question in the Garden. And one realization I didn’t see coming.
In Part One of The Courage to Be Seen, we’re looking at the things we hide behind, the versions of ourselves we learned to become, and one surprisingly difficult question:
“Where are you?”
We’re not fixing anything yet. We&rsquo...
God’s Antidepressants: A Carline Circle Devotional
What if peace doesn’t come because the situation changes—but because we do? Pull up, Mama. We’re talking surrender, casting our cares, leaving tomorrow in tomorrow, and discovering the kind of peace that makes absolutely no sense...but feels like a weighted blanket from God. And yes, we may need to pray for the woman in the car behin...
What if the thing you've been praying for has been in front of you all along...
...you just didn't recognize the wrapping paper?
This conversation might change the way you see God, yourself, and the gifts you've been overlooking.
Grab your coffee, sister girlfriend. Let's talk.
It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!
Not every betrayal begins with harsh words.
Sometimes...it begins with a kiss.
Join me for a conversation about broken trust, unexpected grace, and the one question that just might change how you see betrayal forever.

Girl... It's Not That Serious. | Confessions of a Hot Mess Mom
Ever put your keys in the refrigerator?
Started your car...when it was already running?
Forgot your best friend's name while introducing her?
Or accidentally texted the guy you were dating...while asking your girlfriend what his text actually meant? 😳🔥

You said you wanted different.
Not perfect. Different.
In this episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry invites you to pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and revisit a simple but powerful question: What did you say was important?
Somewhere between the breakthrough and the becoming, many of us get distracted. We get busy raising kids, paying bills, juggling responsibilities, and simply trying to survive....
When life hurts, where do you turn?
Food. Busyness. Social media. Serial dating. Avoiding the hard things. We all have our "fix"- something that helps numb the pain, distract us from reality, or make us feel better for a moment.
But what happens when the fix isn't fixing anything?
In this heartfelt and honest episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry explores the difference between temporary relief and lasti...
Healing Is Our Assignment
What if healing isn't standing in the way of your purpose?
What if healing is part of your purpose?
Many of us spend our lives asking God about our calling, our next step, our future, and our purpose while avoiding an assignment that's already sitting on our desk: healing.
As single moms, we're often experts at surviving. We keep moving, keep functioning, keep showing up for everyone ...
This week on It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets deeply personal as she shares what it’s looked like to trust God through an unexpected season of brain fog, medical challenges, slowed-down plans, and surrendered opportunities.

It didn’t start loud.
It started as a thought…
one you didn’t even think needed to be challenged.
A voice that sounded familiar.
Comforting.
Reasonable.
And before you realized it…
you weren’t just hearing it.
You were agreeing with it.
This isn’t just a story.
It’s a glimpse into how something subtle…
can quietly tak...
What if the reason your days feel so heavy… isn’t everything you have to do—but everything you expect them to be?
In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry shares a powerful mindset shift that is changing the way she lives, shows up, and experiences everyday life. Instead of chasing the idea of a “good day,” she’s choosing something different—and it&...
You are not who you were…
But a lot of us are still living like we are.
“I was hurt…”
“I was left…”
“I was the one who didn’t get it right…”
👉 Maybe not in pigtails anymore… but still carrying it around in a ponytail.
But God didn’t say “I WAS.”
👉 He said I AM.
And if He lives in you…
you don&...
Feeling stuck? Same spot, same thoughts, no movement?
Yeah… we’re not staying there.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to move—even when it’s scary, unclear, and far from perfect. Because stuck isn’t your story… it’s just where you’ve been sitting too long.
It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!
Spring break can turn a single mom’s routine upside down—more snacks, less structure, and a whole lot of chaos. In this Power-Up Pep Talk, Sherry shares encouragement from Luke 1:45, reminding moms that sometimes faith doesn’t mean having every answer—it simply means holding onto one promise from God.
Together, we reflect on Mary’s faith while she was still carrying the promise...
