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!

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...

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.

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.”

And if He lives in you…

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.
