Can one day change your city for the better?  Listen in as host Shay Roush sits down with Shelly Mayer, Care Ministry Director at The Crossing, to explain how one annual event called For Columbia unites 55 churches and over 2,100 volunteers to serve the people of Columbia, Missouri, in a single day. This initiative includes diverse projects from landscaping for elderly homeowners and painting in residential or community centers, to delivering food to those with dwindling resources and rehabbing homes for the most vulnerable in our city. Putting differences aside, For Columbia fosters unity among local churches and is a unique opportunity to make a powerful impact with many hands tackling huge tasks to meet the felt needs in our community.  Shay and Shelly also discuss how many of the care ministries at The Crossing have evolved over the years to meet people where they are hurting, whether it's in Divorce Care, Grief Share, One-to-One Care, Single Moms, Cancer Care and more. Many practical ministries now exist to offer simple yet profound ways to show care, proving small acts of service can be multiplied to impact the church family and the community beyond.  Loving your neighbor as yourself may not be an easy task, but when you link arms with others on the same mission, you can change a city one person, and one day, at a time.  Do you want to get involved on a Care Serving Team at The Crossing? click here.  Are you ready to get plugged into a support group within our Care Ministry? click here.

In this episode, I sit down with Carla. She's been around the BBM community for years- watching the posts, listening to the podcast, cheering others on, but not fully in. As a single mom working two jobs, she didn't have the capacity to put herself first. And I never pushed her. But I always knew that when she was ready, she'd show up fully.That shift happened recently, not from guilt or pressure, but from a deep desire to change her future.Carla talks about what finally clicked and how she's made her fitness a non-negotiable part of her life. From building a home gym to involving her kids, she's now leading by example and the ripple effect is obvious: better sleep, more energy, stronger relationships, and a new sense of self-respect.We talk about:What finally flipped the switch after years of being “around but not in”The impact of working out at night (and why it helps her sleep better)How her son's training and her daughter's curiosity are changing the home dynamicWhy slow, steady progress works better than crash diets or shortcutsWhat it feels like to see yourself changing- in the mirror and in your lifeIf you've been telling yourself you'll start when life calms down or you've been in the orbit of this work but haven't stepped in yet, this conversation is for you.And if you'd like to talk about how I can support you, book a free consultation here:

Katie Watson is a full-time legal professional and single mom who didn't wait for life to slow down before figuring out how to make it work. She joins Corinne Morahan to share the systems that help her manage a high-pressure job while raising her two-year-old son.    From choosing a daycare that handles meals and extended hours to building habits that keep her home running smoothly, Katie shares what it looks like to design a life that feels doable. She gets into the small, unglamorous choices that add up over time, like using five quiet minutes to unpack a box instead of scrolling, or carving out a nightly hour to reset her space before the next day begins. She also opens up about the mindset work that keeps her grounded, including how she navigates anxiety and why having a strong support system matters.    What would shift if you approached your personal life with the same thoughtfulness you bring to work? And what kind of ease might be possible if you let support be part of the plan?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 01:26 The Decline of Maternal Mental Health 04:08 Building a Career and Raising a Child Solo 07:11 Systems That Simplify Daily Life 09:08 Making the Most of Pockets of Time 11:22 Investing in Support as a Form of Self-Care 15:27 Mindset Shifts That Reduce Overwhelm 22:28 How Community and Coaching Create Real Change 25:58 Practical Advice for Listeners Feeling Stuck 30:33 Choosing a Different Path to Build a Life You Love   Links I'm inviting you into something brand new: The Unstuck Masterclass.

What if you could build a high-ticket coaching business and be home when your kids are sick?   Or spend a Tuesday redoing your deck? Or take 20 trips in 6 years as a single mom of three?   In this episode of Money Magnet Mama, I sit down with my dear friend and client Lorena Seidel, a parenting and mindset coach, to talk about how she built her dream business—one rooted in simplicity, impact, and a whole lot of freedom.  

Is your kid's bedtime routine a sweet dream…or a beautiful nightmare? In this episode, the Mamas are joined by Brandi Jordan - pediatric sleep specialist, postpartum doula, lactation consultant, and professional baby whisperer. Brandi breaks down how sleep actually works, from healthy newborn sleep habits to setting boundaries with big kids who still crawl into your bed. She talks about dream feeds, developmental milestones, co-sleeping vs. the cry-it-out method, and how to create the right environment for restful sleep - for your little ones and yourself. Because yes, Village, your sleep matters too.Check out Brandi's agency - The Cradle Company, her podcast "Dear Doula", and follow her on Instagram @brandi_jordan_official for more tips.________________________ We love getting Listener Letters!

At Hope Bridge, two of our biggest priorities are supporting single moms and engaging the local church. But bringing those two things together isn't always simple. In this episode, we're discussing a sensitive but important topic: church hurt—specifically, how it affects single moms. This conversation is not meant to overgeneralize or place blame. We are incredibly grateful for the many churches we partner with that do amazing work to support families. At the same time, we also want to honor the stories of single moms who have felt excluded from ministries, overlooked for leadership, or disconnected from small groups. Sometimes, the hurt comes through unsolicited advice that, while well-intended, causes pain. Other times, it's not about what's said—but what isn't. The absence of acknowledgment or representation can leave single moms feeling invisible.God created us for community. Even when that community has caused hurt, the need for connection remains. We talk about the importance of continuing to seek out healthy church spaces, even after past wounds. Sometimes, God meets us most powerfully outside of a traditional church setting—but we have to be seeking Him. Church is meant to be a place of restoration, hope, and belonging. In this conversation, we explore how we can help the Church reflect that vision more fully—especially for single moms.Episode Highlights: Single Moms Church Hurt Church Community How to pursue healing Single Moms Program at Hope Bridge Find More on Hope Bridge:Check out our Single Moms Program July Empower U Registration Schedule Coffee with Mel!Link for Friendly Faces/Spiritual DevelopmentSingle Mom Connection Form Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram 

Today, we're doing things a little differently—our guest is a dad. Author and spoken word poet, Tanner Olson, shares his heart (and humor!) as we chat about his long journey to fatherhood and what God has taught him along the way. Tanner's words and vulnerability are profound as he reminds us to  s l o w  d o w n , notice the world around us, and that there's always hope in the midst of hardship. Oh, and he also tells us what dads actually want for Father's Day, so don't miss out.  This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community.

Hey friends—Carla here! This week on So What Now?, Dex and I sat down with the fierce and inspiring Jena Mehlberg—entrepreneur, mama, survivor, and all-around powerhouse in the beauty world. Jena took us on a real ride through some of the toughest chapters of her life—becoming a single mom in her teens, losing a parent, navigating an emotionally abusive relationship, and the ups and downs of running her own business. And y'all, the way she speaks about resilience and faith? You feel it in your bones. She talks about the importance of existing outside yourself and not letting isolation pull you under, especially in the hardest seasons. One thing that really stuck with me—Jena opened up about her mom, a woman who moved through the world like rules just didn't apply to her. That “ask forgiveness later” attitude? It gave Jena permission to live boldly and never wait for someone else to give her the green light. Then we shifted gears and got real about raising boys. As two single moms of sons, Jena and I got into it: How do we raise emotionally healthy men in a world that often doesn't teach them how to feel? What message are we sending if we keep choosing partners who don't show up emotionally? Dex jumped in too, and we unpacked the tension between wanting to protect our kids from life's mistakes… and knowing we can't. Y'all, if you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough—or how to keep going when life knocks you down—this one's for you.
