Podcasts about single mothers

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Lindsay Gill — founder of The Napkin Network. Lindsay is a powerhouse mom, advocate, and nonprofit leader who saw a need in her community and stepped up in a big way. When Lindsay realized that countless mothers in the D.C. area were struggling to access the most basic baby essentials — diapers, wipes, formula, and more — she decided to do something about it. And so, The Napkin Network was born. The Napkin Network is a movement of moms helping moms — connecting women with resources, mobilizing communities, and ensuring that no mother or child goes without the essentials they need. What started as a simple idea has quickly grown into a powerful force for good, supporting thousands of families and inspiring others to step up and take action in their own neighborhoods. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Lindsay's life journey to founding The Napkin Network; ✨ The struggles mothers face in accessing diapers, wipes, and formula — and why this crisis matters for every community; ✨ How The Napkin Network mobilizes moms, families, and communities to meet these needs; ✨ Inspiring stories of hope, resilience, and community from women she's worked with; ✨ How you can get involved — whether you're in D.C. or anywhere in the country; ✨ And so much more!

How deep can birth take you when you fully surrender to the mystery?In this episode, I sit down with Mimilia—mother of four and a recent graduate of our MatriBirth Mentor Institute. Her story is a breathtaking journey through four radically different births, each one deepening her trust, sharpening her discernment, and calling her closer to truth.We begin with her first birth: newly single, choosing freebirth in her homeland of Puerto Rico, and awakening to her own power in the most unexpected of settings. From there, Mimilia shares the simple beauty of freebirthing in a tipi in the Colorado mountains, before taking a surprising detour—hiring a licensed midwife for her third birth. But it's her fourth birth that brings it all home: the culmination of her path through sovereignty, surrender, and self-responsibility. This episode is a mirror, a medicine story, and an invitation to reflect on what birth reveals when we are ready to listen.Inside this episode:What it's like to leave a relationship mid-pregnancy and return to your homelandWhat it looks like to birth in a tipi—with a handmade altar and a bucket of waterWhy hiring a midwife for her third birth helped her understand what kind of birth keeper she would beHow birth exposed the subtle and chronic ways she'd been abandoning herselfWhat it takes to face birth without flinching—and let it break you openWhy having her children witness birth became a sacred part of the journeyHow MMI helped her embody her calling as a woman, a mother, and a birth keeperThis one is intimate, wild, and deeply instructive.

David has sold and implemented biologics into the Australian market working with MTF (the world's largest tissue bank) to introduce Allopatch HD, a non-irradiated acellular human dermis which has been documented to improve surgical success rates from 40% to 85.7% from a study of 10,000 cases. This is opening up a new surgical arena and in many cases avoiding the current solution, (which is very painful and restrictive) of total shoulder arthroplasty.

Nadia Turner was the #8 finalist on the 4th season of American Idol (2005) and Zareh, also know as Za, was only four years old. In the spring of 2022  Zareh, then  21,  auditioned for AI and surprised her mother when she took her to the audition.  Zareh   performed “Bust Out Your Windows” by Jazmine Sullivan, which impressed the judges.It was such a pleasure to have a conversation with both mother and daughter at the same time, to share stories of  Nadia's mom and grandmother as well as  Za's perspective of her mother and grandmother -we're talking about four generations of strong women.Nadia says she's a very different parent today than she was in her 20's and a college student when Za was born. She's very grateful because she always new that her mother was going to be there to help her raised her two daughters.  Zareh  completely understands why her younger sister is being raised differently than she was. Zareh says that her mom was very strict when she was young but now she understands and appreciates why and respects her mother's decisions. It was, at times, overwhelming raising Zareh when Nadia was younger but now she's got a different attitude about raising her younger daughter, she  concentrates on the things that are important, the things that really matter. Rosita, Nadia's mother, originally from the island of St. Eustatius, was a single mom who worked 9-5 at an electric company. "There's never been a time when she didn't show up for me" reflects Nadia. Rosita was very supportive of her daughter, whether it was sports or a school activity, she was always there for her regardless if she truly understood her daughters passions or interests.  "I couldn't have done this thing called motherhood with out my mother, Rose," says Turner.Nadia spent quite a bit of time with her maternal grandmother, Esme, Rosita's mother.  Nadia  remembers her grandmother as "being my Zen, my peace, always very quiet and calm." She continues "she was very religious and always humming her hymns, she never raised her voice and for some reason, that moved mountains for me." When Nadia was a child and she and her mother got into an argument,  Nadia recalls simply sitting quietly next to her grandmother and holding her hand which made everything feel alright.There's so much more to learn about my two guests and the influential women that helped them become who they are today. Always so grateful for the mothers/grandmothers and female family members who preceded us to lay down the groundwork and straightened path to keep us moving forward.When I asked Za if she stands a little taller because of these strong women in her life she responds, "my grandmother and mother are my biggest idols. I look up to them for everything they do. We are a family full of women. My grandmother is present no matter what's going on. I'm so grateful and definitely stand taller."There's so much more to these two magnificent women. Hope you enjoy the conversation.Thank you for sharing your stories Nadia and Zareh.There are links below with more information regarding Zareh and Nadia Turner's latest music and singing  with the band 'Nadia Turner and the Son Kings' and more. Nadia Turner    https://www.nadiaturner.com/https://linktr.ee/nadiaturnerNadia Turner American Idol 2005   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7a7ug6DkfsNadia Turner American Idol     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d4aWIM2j_c Zareh American Idol 2022   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEgF0rWR28Zareh Instagram-styledbyzaza       https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuQ6CBHo23/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=c9062567-fbcc-47cd-bce8-bfbdee8c4142 FACEBOOK: Jackie Tantillo, SHLTMM, Nadia Turner, Zareh IsaINSTAGRAM: #jackietantillo7 #shouldhavelistenedtomymother #nadiaturnerandthesonkings #nadiacturner, #styledbyzaza #SHLTMM LINKEDIN: Jackie Tantillo, Nadia Turner 3rdTWITTER: SHLTMM, @nadiacturnerTHREADS: SHLTMM, styledbyzaza,BKSY: SHLTMM,TIKTOK: SHLTMM, dymuzic, styledbyzaza,YOUTUBE: SHLTMM, NADIA TURNER, Zareh Isa  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Stepping through the doors of New Beginnings, single mothers find more than just shelter—they discover family. Case Manager Ruth Westfall shares her passionate journey of guiding these women from survival mode to stability through a comprehensive five-year program designed to break cycles of generational poverty."Every single girl is a success," Ruth explains, describing how each resident receives God's Word regardless of how long they stay. With daily devotions, weekly church attendance, and constant conversations about grace and forgiveness, faith forms the foundation of a program that transforms lives through six essential pillars: faith, parenting skills, education, vocation, personal development, and social skills.The challenges are immense. Most residents arrive having never experienced trustworthy relationships, sleeping on floors with cockroaches crawling over them while pregnant, and developing survival mechanisms that initially make building trust difficult. Yet through patience, structure, and genuine love, Ruth and her team help these women recalibrate their lives. "These things that they have grown up with for years don't take just days," she notes. "It's years to break those cycles."Success stories abound—graduates finding well-paying careers in IT, welding, and cybersecurity. But perhaps the most touching transformation is when a resident who initially responds with skepticism to expressions of love eventually whispers back "I love you too." These relationships continue even after residents leave, providing the supportive family many never had.New Beginnings now hopes to expand their impact through their Heart Campaign, raising funds for a new facility that will allow them to serve mothers with multiple children.

«Solomutter zu werden war die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens», sagt Gabriela*. Sie bekam ihre Tochter über eine Samenbank im Ausland. Input-Host Anna Kreidler erzählt die Geschichten zweier Frauen und blickt auf die Kritik an diesem Familienmodell: Ist es egoistisch, allein Kinder zu kriegen? «Es kann dann ein Egoprojekt sein, wenn eine Frau einfach beweisen will, dass sie das kann», sagt Kinder- und Jugendpsychologin Sandra Widmer. Wie viele sogenannte «Single Mothers by Choice» es in der Schweiz gibt, ist unklar. Aber die Entscheidung, allein Mutter zu werden, bringt Herausforderungen mit sich: So sind Alleinerziehende in der Schweiz zum Beispiel eher von Armut betroffen als Haushalte mit zwei Elternteilen. Ein Risiko, das Gabriela* in Kauf genommen hat. Warum hat sie diesen Weg gewählt? Davon handelt diese Folge. (*Name geändert) ____________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

We discuss mentorship's role in personal development for young men, particularly regarding challenges from single motherhood and perceptions of authority.

Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

When journalist Cheng Lei was detained by Chinese state security agents, she thought would be freed within the week. Instead, she was held on absurd espionage charges for more than three years, much of that time spent in isolation.When Cheng Lei moved back to the country of her birth after the dramatic opening up of China to the world, she was a part of something exciting and historic.That all changed after Xi Jinping came to power, and Australia's relations with China deteriorated.In this first episode of a two-part series, Lei explains how eventually, she found herself detained on bogus espionage charges, and held for more than three years in a Chinese detention centre.For the first six months of her detention, Lei was isolated and alone except for the rotating female guards who stood over her 24 hours a day.Lei was not allowed to speak to these guards, she was forced to sit on the edge of her bed for 14 hours a day, she had to ask permission to do anything, she was not allowed to close her eyes and intermittently she was taken to a room, tied down in a chair and interrogated about allegedly sharing state secrets with foreigners.Lei learned how to ration books, she practised German vocabulary, wrote scripts in her head and thought of her two children to stay sane under torturous conditions.Further informationCheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is published by HarperCollins.Cheng Lei: My Story is a documentary made by Sky News Australia.

76% of single mothers in southeast Louisiana can't afford basic needs. Tommy breaks down the United Way's new ALICE report with president and CEO Michael Williamson.

The desire to share life with a partner doesn't just disappear when we choose to start our families on our own. And it doesn't have to. Today's new episode is a beautiful reminder that both things can be true: you can want motherhood and partnership, and you don't have to give up one to have the other.At 35, Erin Russell was faced with the hard realization that her family line would end with her if she didn't pursue parenthood soon, so she started seriously considering solo motherhood. But right as she was preparing to begin fertility treatments, life threw her a curveball — she met someone.Erin was clear about what she wanted and gave the relationship space to grow. But when it became obvious they weren't aligned on having kids, she made the powerful decision to walk away. She ordered donor sperm the very next day.Becoming a mom didn't erase Erin's hope of sharing life with a partner. Just two months after her son was born, she started dating again — not out of pressure or urgency, but as a way to reconnect with herself, enjoy adult time, and stay open to love.Now that her son is two and she's happily in a relationship that feels like the right fit, Erin reflects on what it's been like to still want partnership as a solo mom by choice, and how she's navigating love, parenting, and a changing sense of identity all at once.In this episode, we talk about:How Erin knew it was time to pursue solo motherhoodThe challenges of navigating IUI, IVF, and insurance hurdlesWhy "just surviving" the newborn stage isn't enough, and how building a support system made all the differenceThe guilt and reality of sending your baby to daycare as a solo momDating as a solo mom: why Erin started early, how she set her own pace, and what she looked for in a partnerHow she's weaving her new relationship into her solo mom lifeAnd why the grief of doing it alone doesn't just disappear once your baby arrivesWhether you're considering solo motherhood, already parenting, or wondering if dating might fit into your life someday, Erin's story is full of honesty, hope, and real-world encouragement for wherever you are on the path.Want to connect with Erin Russell?Follow Erin on InstagramCheck out Erin's writingRead Erin's article on SMBCs (featuring me as an interviewee!)

What does it take to raise boys into men of character, compassion, and courage in today's complex world? In a time when masculinity is often misunderstood or misrepresented, one mother chose to walk the path with fierce love, deep intention, and unwavering hope.   This is a story of a woman who faced tragedy, betrayal, and transformation, yet emerged stronger, more open-hearted, and committed to nurturing greatness in her four sons. From the quiet strength of a scientist to the creative fire of an artist, each son carries a piece of her journey and their own unique story of becoming.   This conversation is not just about parenting—it's about negotiating identity, values, and purpose as a family. It's about how love leads, even when the path isn't clear. It's about raising not just sons—but men the world needs.   In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Lydia Saminiego and her sons, Joshua, Joseph, Wesley, and Thomas. They will discuss deeply personal conversation about Negotiating in Raising Sons to Become the Best Possible Men They Can Be.    Lydia is a true force of nature—author of TO HELL WITH YOU: An Adventure Through Tragedy, Love, Betrayal and Transformation—a woman of unshakable hope who believes that anything can be overcome. She's also a teacher, yoga instructor, energy worker, sound bath practitioner, and life coach, with degrees from both USC and Universidad de Salamanca in Spain. Living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lake Tahoe, she finds joy in nature, healing, and human potential.   Together with her sons—Joseph, a PhD in plasma physics; Joshua, a self-taught software engineer; Wesley, a brew master based in Argentina; and Thomas, an actor, singer, and guitarist in NYC—they'll share what it means to navigate family, values, growth, and the lifelong journey of becoming better men.   In this episode we will learn:   The role of a parent and the role of a leader Raising children as a single mother How to earn the trust of your children The need of a male role model for kids raised by a single mother What it means to be a man Parenting style Feminine energy into parenting The role emotion plays for effective leader and negotiator What is intuition and why does it matter?   Learn more about Lydia:   Website: https://www.lydiasamaniego.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lydia.s.evans.5/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_love_lydia_   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Be encouraged Single Mothers

This Mother's Day, we celebrate a form of motherhood grounded in boldness, agency, and unwavering love, the path of the single mother by choice. In this powerful episode of This is My Silver Lining, Leslie Stone shares how one emotional moment at her niece's Bat Mitzvah triggered a life-changing decision: to stop waiting for the traditional path and choose motherhood on her own terms.Leslie, a former C-suite advertising executive, opens up about what it meant to make peace with uncertainty and go all-in on a path few dare to walk alone. She speaks candidly about the emotional and physical toll of navigating fertility, the surreal process of choosing a sperm donor, and the serendipity of becoming pregnant at 40 against the odds.Leslie reflects on the sacred, joyful, and affirming experience of parenting solo, how she intentionally built an extended community of support for her daughter, and the clarity that comes from living life on your own terms. Her story is a compelling reminder that motherhood is not defined by convention, but by intention, courage, and deep love..Episode Links and ResourcesLeslie StoneSingle Mothers By ChoiceSupport this podcast by subscribing and reviewing.
