Have you ever wondered how someone can rise from repeated abandonment, three failed marriages, and the brink of homelessness to create a life of purpose and hope? Sometimes our greatest struggles become the foundation for our most meaningful work.

In this deeply personal recording, I share the raw truth behind my transformation from a woman questioning her worth to someone dedicated to supporting solo mothers through their darkest moments. This isn't just another success story. It's a testament to what becomes possible when we stop running from our pain and start learning from it.

After my third divorce, I faced a choice that would change everything. Instead of falling into bitterness or blame, I chose to look inward. What I discovered through a simple but powerful exercise changed not only how I saw myself, but how I approached every relationship moving forward. The process revealed baggage I didn't even know I was carrying and patterns I had been unconsciously repeating for years.

The real test came when I found myself alone with two young sons, facing potential homelessness in Atlanta. What happened next required a leap of faith that still amazes me. A series of events so perfectly timed that they could only be described as miraculous. From an unexpected phone call to free plane tickets, from a stranger's generosity to a 900-mile move with everything we owned packed into a Toyota Camry.

But this story isn't just about divine intervention. But it's also about the courage to act even when fear threatens to paralyze you. It's about recognizing that our children are more aware of our struggles than we think, and how they can become our greatest source of strength.

Through this vulnerable sharing, you'll gain insights into:

• The power of taking responsibility for your part in failed relationships without falling into self-blame
• A practical exercise that can reveal unconscious patterns in your relationship choices
• How to recognize when fear is masquerading as wisdom and holding you back
• The difference between being desperate and being ready to receive help
• Why your faith story matters and how it connects to something much bigger than your circumstances

This experience became the catalyst for my devotional "Courage to Believe: 21 Day Devotional for Single Moms". This is a resource born from the realization that grace meets us exactly where we are, even in our messiest moments.

Whether you're freshly divorced, widowed, or simply raising children while feeling utterly alone, this story serves as a reminder that you're not walking this path by yourself. Your current chapter doesn't define your entire story.

Sometimes the very experiences that break us open are the ones that prepare us to pour hope into others.

If you've ever felt like you're barely keeping your head above water, or if you're ready to stop repeating old patterns and start writing a new story, this episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for the road ahead.

After years of starting projects and having trouble finishing them, I’m so happy to finally share some amazing news. My Courage to Believe: 21-Day Devotional for Single Moms is becoming real, and I can’t wait for you to have it.

As a divorced mom who has been through the challenges of single motherhood, I know the ups and downs we face every day. Sometimes we feel strong and in control, and other times we question our strength, our faith, and whether we can keep going. These feelings don’t just go away. They come and go, each needing our attention and care.

This devotional came from my own experience moving 900 miles from Atlanta to New York with my two youngest sons, to take a two-week job. I wasn’t sure I had enough faith, but through it all, God’s help was clear.

Instead of just giving simple encouragement, I’ve made sure each day speaks to the real feelings we face as single moms. We’ll talk about fear, anger, loneliness, and grief. Grief isn’t just about death—it can also come from losing relationships, security, or even our sense of self.

I’ve included the story of Hagar from the Old Testament. God saw her, cared for her, and protected her when she was pregnant and alone, and later as a single mother. Her story shows us that God never overlooks us, even when we feel alone.

Some of these devotions might bring up hard memories for anyone who has faced domestic violence, as I have. I’ve handled these topics gently, knowing our feelings often come from how we were treated by people who said they loved us. Forgiveness is important for our healing—not for them, but for our own freedom.

This isn’t just another devotional meant to make you feel good. Here’s what you’ll get from these 21 days:

• You’ll know your feelings are normal, and that God truly understands them.
• Biblical view on the struggles that are unique to single moms.
• Support to discover your path to healing that links your struggles to God’s everlasting love.
• Practical advice for dealing with fear, anger, and loneliness.
• Encouragement from real-life stories and truths from scripture.
• Support to discover your path to healing that links your struggles to God’s everlasting love.

The ebook is ready for pre-order now, and hardcover and paperback versions will be out in the first week of December. Every pre-order comes with journal sheets to help you reflect and use what you learn.

You’re doing more than enough, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. You’re not alone on this journey, and there is someone whose grace will carry you through.

Whether your faith feels strong or you’re just barely holding on, this devotional meets you right where you are. Together, we’ll find the courage to believe in God’s plan, accept His love, and discover that we can do more than just get by—we can thrive as single moms.

Are you caught up in the belief that expensive equals meaningful? As gift-giving season approaches, it's easy to fall into the trap of measuring love and worth by price tags and material possessions. But what if the most precious gifts can't be purchased at all?

We live in a culture that conditions us to believe bigger, shinier, and more expensive automatically means more love, more value, more worth. Social media feeds this mindset, leaving us feeling empty and overlooked when we can't keep up financially. But there's a beautiful truth we often miss: the most meaningful gifts come from the heart, not the wallet.

I'll share a powerful personal story from Christmas Eve 2005 when Pennsylvania state troopers became my angels on a dark highway. Their gift of time and kindness, asking for nothing in return became a blessing I carry with me nearly two decades later. These moments remind us that every good and perfect gift is from above, often delivered through ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Here's what you can expect from this episode on recognizing true gifts:

• Identify the gifts we overlook - time, presence, joy, and unconditional love that surround us daily.
• Understand how cultural conditioning tricks us into valuing material things over heart connections.
• Recognize everyday angels who show up without fanfare to offer exactly what we need.
• Shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance by noticing non-material blessings.
• Learn practical ways to acknowledge, appreciate, and pay forward these precious gifts.

When we start recognizing these heart gifts, everything changes. Gratitude replaces emptiness. Community grows stronger. We feel less alone because we see how God places helpers along our path. Most importantly, our worth stops being tied to what we can buy or what others can buy us.

What if we taught our children to value these lasting gifts too? Imagine the world we could create if we measured love by presence instead of presents.

This episode will help you live gift-conscious rather than money-conscious, opening your eyes to the divine blessings that flow through human hands every single day.
