• Married and Solo Parenting? Focus on Glimmers, Not Triggers
    2025/10/08

    Husband traveling for work again?

    Do you call yourself a married, single mom?

    Are you caught up in all the negatives of being married to traveling spouse?

    When your partner is away, it's easy to spiral into a pit of negativity and focus on all the things that are missing. In this episode, I introduce the concept of glimmers - small moments of joy or safety that can shift your mindset and help you stay grounded in the good. You'll learn the difference between triggers and glimmers, how to start spotting them in your every day life, and I share a simple practice you can do right now to bring more joy to your days! Plus, I share my "micro win of the week" as a reminder to celebrate the small moments. Be sure to share this episode with someone who needs a reminder to focus on the good in their life! __________________________

    2025/10/01

    Is your traveling partner missing your kid's birthday again this year?

    Who says you have to celebrate only on the calendar date?

    In this episode, I'm talking about giving yourself permission to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and other special moments on the days that work for your family. Whether that means celebrating when your traveling spouse is home, celebrating twice, or shifting traditions to work for your unique lifestyle - you get to make it work. It's time to drop the pressure of "right date" and focus on what really matters: creating joy-filled moments that work for your family!

  • What the heck is a Sometimes Solo Mama?
    2025/09/10

    Do you care for the kids while your partner travels for work?

    Have you ever called yourself a ‘single-married mom’?

    Do you relate to the loneliness of a military family, but your spouse is not enlisted?

    In this episode, I’m sharing who exactly is a ‘Sometimes Solo Mama’ and why I wanted to start this podcast for you! Your family dynamic is unique and different because you parent alone many nights for days or weeks at a time, but you are married and your partner is not in the military. You sort of relate to ‘single’ moms, and probably have called yourself a “single-married mom” on occasion, yet you’re happily married and doing the home and family caretaking mostly on your own. If this sounds like you, you’re definitely in the right place, so tune in now! Don’t forget to share this episode with a Solo Parent you know and love!
