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.Craving emotional support?

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)https://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/fear This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free. #overcomingfearforsolomoms #managingfearwithfaith #Bibleversesaboutfear #emotionalhealingforsolomoms #fearandparentingThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

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 13:10Feeling unloved?

SummaryIn 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.Mentioned:Self-Reflection: The Key to Begin Healing (Abandoned Daughters of Caribbean Moms Podcast)Join Solo Moms Connect Meetup and amplify your voiceVisit our website for more resources and freebieshttps://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/self-awareness-plus-goal-setting-equals-clarity-w-j-rosemarie-francis This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.
