How does worry become the thief of the solo mom's peace?

I remember many nights I lie awake “borrowing trouble,” replaying worries about my job, finances, and my children’s safety.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how chronic worry steals our peace. I also discuss the biblical truths and practical supports that helped me exchange sleepless nights for real rest, peace, and renewed courage.

Finally, connection beats isolation. Therapy, church community, and Solo Moms Connect all provide safe spaces to process emotions and find support.

Key Takeaways:

02:30 Worry is “borrowing trouble.” It drains energy, keeps you awake at night, and never solves anything.

04:10 Worry and fear are tangled but distinct. Naming “worry” separately helps you address it head-on instead of letting it hide behind generic “stress.”

10:15 You can’t solve anything by worrying, but you can by praying and planning. Scripture invites us to bring our needs to God so we can take action with clarity.

12:00 Rest comes from God’s promises. Verses in Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Psalm 55, and Isaiah 41 anchor anxious hearts and restore sleep.

In this episode, we explore how fear impacts solo moms, influencing how we raise our children, build relationships, and pursue our dreams.

Also, I encourage you to reflect on what you would do if fear didn’t hold you back.

Finally, I include scripture to remind you that fear is not from God.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear can shape major aspects of life and parenting often leads to missed opportunities or overly cautious decisions if not managed with care.
• Unchecked fear creates invisible barriers to achieving your dreams, taking risks, or trusting fully, but with faith, you can overcome these barriers.
• Scripture reminds us that fear is not from God; instead, God gives power, love, and self-control to navigate fear with wisdom and courage.

Scripture says "be angry and sin not". But at some point in our lives we find that we're often triggered by what people do or say.

But why is that? Why do some people get angry it seems at the 'drop of a hat'.

If you find you get angry at your kids, co-parent and others quickly and often, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

Getting angry may not mean anything but how far we take that anger can cause us to act in ways that bring shame and regret. An anger not managed can cause us to throw things at our kids or take revenge on someone.
