    Compassion this Christmas - Nothing Matters More than You - Meet Chaney Mullins Gooley of Her Plan

    Chaney joins us and discusses how she had a change of heart after meeting a single mom in a class she was taking.  She turned from judgement to compassion as it relates to seeing what single parents face in life.  She says, "No matter the journey, there HAS to be support - there HAS to be a safety net".    She encourages single parents to ask for help and wants us to remember that we are NOT a burden and should not carry shame when life gets tough and we need assistance for ourselves and our children. In fact, she says, "Well Done" if you have asked for help.  And, now she is a part of Her Plan that is helping connect providers and create a common place where help can be made more accessible for single parents (particularly of young children).   Here is her bio:  She was Her Plan’s first hire in 2019, coming from her work in the women’s healthcare sphere, where she saw firsthand the need for comprehensive care and service coordination.   In her role as Program Manager for Her PLAN, Chaney helps facilitate national provider engagement, connection to national training resources for assistance providers, and Her PLAN’s presence at national conferences. She also assists in the directory building process as Her PLAN expands to more states.   Single Parent Advocate is dedicated to equipping, empowering, and encouraging single parent families.

    Happy Mother’s Day to Single Parents This Weekend - Meet Toye Penny -Author and creator of The Love You More Method℠

    Meet our Guest Speaker and New Friend who will be joining our community for Mother's Day!   Her name is Toye Penny and she is on a mission to help us learn to take care of ourselves inside and out!  She has had an incredible journey and has overcome obstacles and shares her insights as well as some great recipes in her book "Love Them, Love You More."   Here is some more about Toye:  After tragically losing her mother to Lupus at 9 years old, being sexually abused at 13, becoming a teen mom at 16, meeting her father for the first time at 17 and being involved in a tumultuous relationship with an older man by 18, Toye found herself at 23 years old in the right place at the right time where she became the CEO of a high-end, luxury day spa. Although she was financially flexible and created a great lifestyle for herself and her daughter; she had unresolved childhood trauma, carried a high mental load and placed high value on her company and brand that was also her complete identity. While her facade said "I've got it all together in my career", her personal life, relationships and her complete well-being was falling apart.    Now, as a wife, mom of 3, Luxury Well-Being Strategist, Author and creator of The Love You More Method℠, Toye serves as The “CEO Mom Interventionist” and exclusively guides other high profile women who are raising children at home through The Love You More Method℠ so they can reduce mental load, drop the “functioning addiction cycle”, prevent the risk of a health break down and model this same behavior for everyone connected to her.   In her book, Love “Them”, Love You More, a correlation of her methodology, Toye reveals actionable strategies on how you can apply The Love You More Method directly to your life so you can continue to DOMINATE in your industry and effectively serve in your purpose while modeling well-being for generations to come.   Tune In! We know you will also find value in her insights and care.   Join us on your favorite platform below: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3vyISF1 Pandora: https://bit.ly/3fZ093Y Audible: https://adbl.co/3fvWVWn Podbean: https://bit.ly/34vpSeK iHeart Radio: https://bit.ly/34vpSeK TuneIn: http://tun.in/pkeZr Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/3c1jjVI Youtube: https://bit.ly/34twhr2 If you would like to support our work, you can find us here: https://bit.ly/3ajhB0W To join our volunteer email list, please connect here: https://bit.ly/3mWh89O   Single Parent Advocate is dedicated to equip, empower, and encourage single parent families such that those that need help, get help, and those who want to help, can.   #nowplaying #podcast #singleparent #singlemom #singledad #soloparents #singleparentadvocate #parenting #divorce #mothersday #selfcare

    Getting ”Unstuck” and Moving Forward - Meet Lori Beard, of Steadfast Forward

    Are you 2nd guessing yourself, or counselling in general?  Are you wondering why you or someone you care about is "stuck"?  Have you had counselling but it "didn't work"?  Have you given up on alternatives for mental wellbeing? According to this week's guest, Lori Beard, Life Coach and Clinical Hypnosis Specialist, grief compounds and keeps us from moving forward if kept buried and un-addressed.  Listen in and learn about how spending time and effort to feel better increases our  self-awareness, understanding, and helps us move forward in better way for ourselves and our families.   Lori is passionate about helping people get "UN-STUCK".  You see,  Lori was raised by a single mother.  The journey left her feeling as if she did not "fit in".  Her mother's fighting spirit and her grandmother's devotion helped her family overcome society's "norms" that made her feel "less than" others.  The experience lit a fire in her heart that we can live our best life, even if it is difficult.
