Loneliness isn't always something that happens to us—sometimes it's something we unknowingly choose. Through fear, past hurt, disappointment, or isolation, we can build walls that keep others out and leave us feeling disconnected. In this message, we'll explore what God's Word says about loneliness, the difference between healthy solitude and harmful isolation, and how God invites us into authentic relationships that bring healing, encouragement, and purpose. · · · Unstuck Ministries, formerly The Life of a Single Mom, is headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and is an award-winning, national nonprofit that exists to improve the lives of at-risk women and their children by providing programs, life skills, and events that promote success in 3 core areas: Parenting, Finances, and Health & Wellness.

Solidarity Economy Shorts Episode #8A collaboration with New Economy CoalitionSolidarity Economy Shorts are conversations with frontline organizations & individuals that are putting solidarity economy principles into practice. They are using different strategies to build an economic system where communities are meeting their own needs outside of capitalism. Motherful is a matriarchal collective by and for single mothers rooted in non-hierarchy, mutual care, and shared resources. They are reimagining a future of motherhood where all single mothers are valued as sacred and worthy of support.In this episode I speak with co-founder Lisa Woodward and housing director Amanda King. Lisa grounds us in Motherful's origin story and how they are meeting the needs of single moms through offerings like their pantry, resource garage, and basic income program. We discuss what it means to be a matriarchal and non-hierarchical collective and how they maintain those principles with an evolving membership of over 2,000. Amanda shares their newest initiative, an eco-village in Ohio for single mothers to shape their housing, community, and the conditions they need to thrive. This conversation offers a tangible vision for what is possible when we shift from care being an individual responsibility to a collective one.Show NotesMotherful WebsiteHeide Göttner-Abendroth: an advocate for matriarchal studiesMatriarchy Now: an alliance of organizations whose shared mission is to move society towards matriarchyUp Together: organization that co-funded the Ohio Mother's Trust and is working to working to disrupt the status quo approach to ending poverty Rise Together Innovation Institute: organization that co-funded the Ohio Mother's Trust and is working to to disrupt structural racism and issues of poverty in Franklin County
"The world is one big giant oyster, and there's so many different ways to make a dollar, and if you're motivated, it can be made out of just about anything." — Kira Hartley Klinger Kira Hartley Klinger was 40 years old, newly divorced, with a teenager at home, no college degree, and a patchwork of side hustles behind her: cleaning houses, writing resumes, running a paper route with her boys. What she did have was five years of experience selling on eBay, a willingness to buy what nobody else wanted, and an instinct for finding treasure in the boxes at the back of auction lots. She fell into vintage fabric entirely by accident — buying it cheap because it was there, then discovering customers in Japan and Australia who kept coming back for more. She taught herself to date a piece of fabric by its width and fiber content. She opened an Etsy shop. She started writing little essays on her listing pages about the characters she met at auctions, and customers began writing back: you need to write the book. So she did. Twice. And those books led to speaking at quilting guilds, podcast guesting, and a California TV producer who signed her because she believed in the story. At 55, Kira became debt-free for the first time in her adult life. Raymond Aaron talks with her about the wiggly path — the one you can only see clearly by looking backward — and what it means to follow what the world is quietly offering you.

One of the most difficult things we face is how needy we really are, how blind we really are. All the world would love you to shut up and your internal world kind of wants that too. Pride, shame all stand in the way of your being honest with God and others you truly need. Fortunately God has been rescuing me on this for years and the idea of being needy out loud and what all the possibilities are here came from a YouTube Video by Dave Busby…Oh Taste and See 4 of 5 – Jesus, said it perhaps even more clearly and distinctly in the first and foundational Beatitude in Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven." To be poor is to be needy, and when you are really, really, really needy then you may finally will be needy out loud. Like your arm was just chopped off needy. The courage of the blind beggars in Luke 18:35-43. It stopped Jesus and…… and they were the only ones in the MULTITUDE that got a God touch that day. What have you been so needy about in your life that you got the promise of Matthew 5:3 – "The Kingdom Of Heaven" Being Needy out loud is how the Jesus Labor of Love operates …. Car Repair help for Single Moms, Widows and Families in Crisis -If no one asked for help, (needy out loud), we would cease to be around.

Episode OverviewIn observance of "Cheer Up the Lonely Day," this episode addresses an emotion that carries profound weight for single and solo mothers: loneliness. For the solo parent, the repetitive "work-home-sleep" cycle can often lead to a sense of isolation that feels inescapable—a "one-dimensional" existence where the emotional weight of providing and nurturing leaves little room for the self. Loneliness in this context is far from a joke; it is a heavy, multidimensional experience that requires both compassion and a strategic approach to navigate. This episode moves beyond surface-level platitudes to offer a light yet careful exploration of how to break the cycle of "doom and gloom," framing the host as a supportive guide for those navigating the complexities of raising a family on their own.The following insights provide a roadmap for moving from a state of emotional heaviness toward a life characterized by intentional connection and spiritual resilience.Key TakeawaysTo help you navigate this discussion, we have outlined the primary themes and actionable advice discussed in the episode.[01:00] The Importance of Situational Awareness Identifying whether loneliness occurs in solitude or within a crowd (such as at church or work) is the first step in understanding the root of the emotion.[01:45] The Relational Audit A practical look at your current circle—evaluating the frequency and quality of communication with friends and family to see if you have unintentionally distanced yourself.[02:30] Breaking the One-Dimensional Cycle How hobbies and companionship can provide necessary layers to a life that has become dominated solely by work and childcare.[03:45] Reframing the Silence Shifting the perspective on solitary moments from a burden of isolation to a potential "teaching moment" or a season of rest.[05:15] The Power of Reciprocal Comfort Understanding that reaching out is not just about seeking help, but about providing comfort to someone else who may be in the exact same position.[06:30] Scriptural Foundation: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 A deep dive into the biblical cycle of comfort and how God uses our experiences to help others.[07:45] Featured Resource: Overcoming Abandonment An introduction to the specialized tools available for those whose loneliness stems from deeper emotional wounds.These takeaways serve as a vital roadmap for emotional regulation, allowing you to transition from passive feeling to active engagement through the 7-step framework detailed below.The 7-Step Framework for Mitigating LonelinessThis framework is designed to help single mothers analyze their current state and implement practical changes to their daily routines.Contextual AwarenessThe Step: Examine when you feel lonely—is it when you are physically alone, or when you are surrounded by people at church or work?So What? By identifying the specific environment that triggers these feelings, you can move from a vague sense of sadness to a targeted understanding of why you feel disconnected, allowing you to address the root cause rather than just the symptom.Relational AuditThe Step: Evaluate your current relationships with friends and family. Are you actively communicating, or have you become distant?So What? Recognizing a self-imposed distance allows you to take ownership of your social health. It helps you identify where simple communication could bridge the gap and break the cycle of isolation.The Role of CompanionshipThe Step: Consider if your lifestyle is conducive to a pet, such as a small dog or a cat.So What? The source emphasizes that a pet is a powerful solution when you "can't pinpoint" the source of your loneliness. This companionship provides a mutual benefit; the animal receives care, while you receive consistent, non-judgmental presence that enhances your home environment.Identity Beyond MotherhoodThe Step: Re-engage with a hobby, such as gardening, reading, writing, or painting.So What? Solo parenting often results in a "one-dimensional" life of work and childcare. Hobbies break this cycle, reminding you that you are an individual with unique interests and creative needs beyond your role as a provider.Intentional ConnectionThe Step: Deepen existing relationships through weekly phone calls, texts, coffee dates, or walks.So What? Deepening a connection benefits both parties. It moves relationships beyond the superficial, ensuring that your lifestyle is enhanced by a genuine support system that understands your reality.Reframing SolitudeThe Step: View quiet seasons as a "gift" or a "teaching moment" rather than a failure to connect.So What? By asking God why a season is quiet, you transform yourself from a victim of isolation into a student of your current season. This shift allows you to find purpose and growth in the silence rather than just enduring it.Physical and Creative ReleaseThe Step: Go outside, walk in nature, and use technology intentionally.So What? Physical movement in nature acts as a release for the tension and loneliness that gathers within. The host suggests taking your phone not as a distraction, but as a tool to "talk," record voice journals, or take photos—turning a potential instrument of isolation into a medium for creative self-expression.While these practical steps offer significant relief, some forms of loneliness stem from deeper spiritual and emotional wounds, such as abandonment, which require a more dedicated focus.Scriptural Foundation: The Cycle of ComfortCentral to overcoming loneliness is the spiritual principle of reciprocal comfort, as found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5:"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."The "So What?": This scripture reveals that the comfort we receive from God is not meant to end with us. It establishes a divine cycle: God comforts us in our darkest moments so that we are empowered to reach out and comfort others. By looking outward and providing support to someone else, you often find that your own sense of "doom and gloom" begins to lift. You discover that in the very moment you felt you needed someone most, you were actually the answer to someone else's prayer.Featured Resource: [FREE AUDIO COPY]Deepen Your Healing Journey If you feel your loneliness is rooted in the "wounds of abandonment," I invite you to explore a specialized resource designed for you.Featured Offer: Day 3 of the Courage to Believe 21-Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.Title: "Loneliness: Releasing the Stigma of Abandonment"Format: Free Audio Copy[DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE AUDIO COPY HERE] (Click the link to access your free gift.)This resource is specifically crafted to help you move past the stigma of abandonment and find the courage to believe in a future filled with connection, purpose, and spiritual peace.Memorable Quote and Final Encouragement"Go ahead and reach out. Don't be afraid. Don't be ashamed. There is likely someone in your circle praying for a friend just like you. It's not only about what you get from reaching out; it's what somebody else gets from you."Loneliness can feel like a permanent state, but it is often just a call to rediscover your value to others. Take that first step toward connection today—you may be the answer to someone else's prayer.https://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/cheer-up-the-lonely-day-7-tips-for-releasing-feelings-of-lonelinessThis podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

https://linktr.ee/csjosephWhat's up, Ego Hackers? Welcome to the CS Joseph Podcast. In this episode, CS Joseph breaks down why Subconscious Developed Men (SDM) are often cowards and "do-nothing" men in their youth — outsourcing judgment to the collective, embracing groupthink, and creating dangerous echo chambers and mob mentality. Discover the healthiest Subconscious Developed Perceiving Male (SDPM / SDSF joy-oriented men) who excel at sensing danger, building status, and creating beauty as artists and architects. But when SD men dominate society, warriors (Unconscious Developed Men) pay the ultimate price, as seen in the Battle of Thermopylae with King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans.CS Joseph shares raw personal stories, including bar confrontations with hubris-filled SD men, backbiting, saving lives only to face groupthink attacks, family dynamics, and why UD men are statistically more masculine, invested in their children, and likely to survive hard times.Learn the dangers of common sense as "common ignorance," playing it safe, vibe checks over truth, and how SD men rely on preexisting ideas instead of original insight. Are we doomed if they're the majority?Drop a comment: Are you (or the men around you) Subconscious Developed or Unconscious Developed? What's your take on groupthink and masculinity?

Send us Fan MailSchool's out and the calendar suddenly feels like a problem you have to solve every single day. If you're a working single mom, summer break can bring nonstop questions: Who's watching the kids while I'm at work, how do I keep them busy, and how do I stop the weeks from turning into pure chaos? We get honest about that shift and map out practical, realistic ways to create structure when the school routine disappears. We talk through age-by-age options, including when an older child might be ready to stay home alone and why clear rules and consequences matter. We share simple parenting strategies like chore charts that teach real skills such as cleaning, laundry, and basic home care, plus how a small allowance can build motivation without blowing your budget. We also dig into healthy ways to use all that summer energy, including volunteering in churches or community spaces where kids can help with cleaning, service needs, and even social media and tech support that builds future job skills. For teens, we explore the power of a part-time job: earning money for school expenses, learning to save, opening a bank account, and seeing the difference between gross pay and net pay for the first time. We also cover younger kids, from reinforcing tough school subjects to finding affordable childcare, summer camps, and low-cost activities like gardening that create pride and responsibility. Subscribe, share this with a single mom who needs a plan, and leave a review with your best summer survival tip.https://singlemomsunitedpodcast.com/As Mom's we are more than nurturers we are Mentors to our children.

Michele has been part of our community for eight months, and in that time she went from believing she was fundamentally broken to telling me she hasn't felt that way since. In this conversation she walks me through the marriage she entered without ever praying about it, the year that took her mom and nearly her faith, and what it's actually looked like to hear God's voice in the small, practical stuff of her life. Toward the end we pray together, and something opens up in her about why it's felt safer to keep love out than risk it leaving again.Michele is a member of our Receive Academy community who's spent the last eight months learning to recognize God's voice in her everyday life, from prayer to parenting to driving in traffic.Here's what we explore:▪️ How a belief that she was fundamentally broken kept her from expecting God would actually come through for her, and what shifted once that healed▪️ The morning she finally saw Jesus' eyes after eight months of sensing Him near without seeing them▪️ What happened when she started asking God how much to earn before her DoorDashing shifts▪️ Realizing she had pictured God acting like her mother instead of trusting Him as Father▪️ A live prayer where we get underneath a fist wrapped around her heart, holding pain because letting love in once meant watching it leaveChapters00:00 Intro01:05 Becoming a Single Mom at Nineteen and the Miracles That Followed04:05 Marrying Without Ever Praying About It06:56 Growing Up in a Split Faith Family and Hearing Her First Name From God08:54 A Year That Took Her Mom, Her Son's Faith, and Nearly Her Own11:19 Six Weeks of Hearing Not Yet Before Joining the Community13:16 Seeing His Eyes and Feeling Time Stretch16:23 Healing the Belief That She Was Broken20:36 Asking God How Much to Earn and Realizing She'd Pictured Him Like Her Mother27:24 A Live Prayer for the Fist Around Her HeartIf something in this stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

The authors of Freakonomics made headlines for suggesting that the legalization of abortion in the 70's led to significant crime reduction in the 90's—on the assertion that abortion was eliminating large swaths of future criminals from ever taking to the streets. The only problem is, their analysis was backyards. Abortion hasn't created better outcomes for born children; it's created worse. This is a public episode.

As a divorced mom, I raised three sons, and for my two youngest, I was doing it completely without their father. I remember the weight of that and the realization that I wasn't "daddy" and I couldn't be, because nature just wasn't designed that way. But I learned a secret while struggling to come up with effective ways to get out of survival mode. Mothering solo doesn't mean parenting alone. I began co-parenting with God, relying on Him to fill the gaps that felt too wide for me to bridge.The strategy started with a hard truth we have to help our sons grasp: God is nothing like men. If an earthly father was absent or unloving, a boy's view of "Father God" is often fractured. We have to reframe that character through our own leadership and by diving into the Word to show them a Father who never leaves. But it doesn't stop with us. I remember when my youngest was 13 and terrified of the calling on his life. I prayed for a mentor, and God provided a youth pastor who was also a court attorney. He was a man of stability and integrity who stayed. Twenty years later, they are still friends. That mentorship didn't just give my son a role model; it gave him a blueprint for manhood.I've always prioritized conversation and community. People used to stop me on the train and ask, "Is that your son? You two talk like you're friends." I took pride in that because I knew I had to be the sum of his influences. Yet, as Jim Rohn famously said, “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” With that in mind, being mindful of the company your sons keep is crucial int keeping him focused on what's important in life. I had to oversee his "circle of five," ensuring he was surrounded by godly peers. Note: The only reason I created a Facebook account was to oversee my son's action on social media. I was terrified that they would connect with unsafe people online. But I needn't worry and I realized I didn't need to keep on eye on them all the time. I encourage you also, to add another layer to your leadership when daddy is absent. Encourage your son to read about biblical role models like David, who was far from perfect but was humble. He recognized when he messed up and embraced God to help him escape trouble. Also, Joseph, who modeled integrity despite the many difficulties her suffered. Finally by building consistent spiritual habits—reading the Word and praying together—our sons can move from fearing their future to embracing their calling. We don't have to live continuously in survival mode. We can help our sons shake the legacy of absence and raise men who will stand strong for generations.While the heart of our mission is spiritual, we must also use the right tools to ensure this message reaches every mother searching for a lifeline.If the idea of God as your Father intrigue you, I encourage you to check out Day 12: God, Our Father in Courage to Believe 21 Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.

This week, the Good Moms are calling BS on the internet’s obsession with shaming single moms. Erica and Milah tap in about Dr. Sarah and all the “high value” think pieces that act like a woman’s worth is measured by how many kids she has and whether somebody’s calling her “wife.” They break down why that mindset is dangerous for Black single moms especially, how it keeps women stuck in trash relationships, and why your value has nothing to do with your relationship status. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why single moms are not the problem, no matter what the algorithm says The difference between holding your friends accountable and publicly clowning women for clicks How fear of being a “single mom” keeps people in relationships they should’ve left five years ago Real talk on baby daddies, boundaries, and loving yourself more than you love the potential Bad Choice of the Week: macro shrooms in the desert, calling for backup on kid pickup, and making a new plug friend Whorie Time: a sunrise threesome, one condom left, and two very enthusiastic cannabis kings Why “Don’t Be a Dumb Bitch” is less an insult and more a love note and lifestyle Tune in for a raw, hilarious episode about calling out single‑mom shame, making “bad” choices that still lead to growth, and redefining your worth in love, sex, and motherhood. --------------------------------------------- Watch this episode and more on YouTube.

Episode Summary:In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I tackle the profound weight of financial uncertainty and the fear that so often grips single mothers. When every day brings a new blow to your bank account, how do you stretch a single income? Before offering quick, micro-solutions, we dive into the macro-spiritual battle against anxiety.This episode answers the question many solo mothers ask:"How can I stretch a single income to cover rising food and housing costs?"I've tried to answer this question 2 ways:1) By sharing my own personal journey as it relates to Fear: Leaning to Trust, which is Day 1 in the devotional; and2) Providing micro tips and strategies to stretch your budget and create additional (or some) means of income.Sharing my own raw, lived experience from the height of the 2007 financial crisis, I recount how I packed my two youngest sons into a Toyota Camry and drove 900 miles from Atlanta to New York City for a job guaranteed for only two weeks. Through obedience, sudden shifts, and total reliance on God, that temporary job unlocked 17 months of provision and set up a 14-year career.If you are a solo mom feeling overwhelmed, scared, or isolated, this episode is a reminder that God sees you, holds your hand, and promises to uphold you. Tune in for spiritual grounding, followed by practical steps to shifting from survival mode to absolute transformation.Key Takeaways & Reflection Questions:The Grip of Financial Fear: Financial pressure breeds fear of the present and the future, often driving us to make desperate, impulsive decisions we later regret.The Anatomy of a Faith Leap: True trust means following God's leading even when the plan changes unexpectedly, or when others think your choices are crazy.God is a Consistent Provider: God doesn't just hand you a breakthrough and leave you to fend for yourself; He protects, stays with you, and handles the long-term aftermath.Actionable Self-Reflection: Grab a notebook and map out: What exactly am I fearful of losing? Is it shelter, a job, or control? Pinpointing the root helps you hand it over cleanly.Scripture MentionedIsaiah 41:10 (NKJV): > "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."Resources & Links Mentioned in this Episode:Read the Devotional: This episode expands on Day 1 (Fear) of the Courage to Believe: 21-Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.

What if the key to better sex wasn't about technique — it was about learning to feel your own body again? Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, joined me live at Eudaimonia to break down how 13 years of somatic movement quietly rewired her relationship with pleasure, sound, and receiving — and why the two aren't as different as you'd think. From faking orgasms in her 20s to purring her way through her "delicious" 40s, Taryn gets raw about her two-year stretch of only receiving oral sex, falling deeply in love after divorce, and what it really means to let someone in — body and soul. Don't forget to watch the full video podcast on YouTube! In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the sounds you make in a workout and the sounds you make in bed come from the exact same place — and how unlocking one unlocks the other • How Taryn's two-year "oral sex only" era taught her more about receiving, boundaries, and her own body than any relationship ever did • The one breathwork tool that works both in The Class and during sex to get out of your head and back into your body — instantly And if you want to dive deeper into Taryn's work after listening, we've got a little gift for you.
