    EP 110. Single Moms Raising Boys... You Need To Hear This

    Hey Mamas! I need the single moms raising boys to the front please! We carry the weight of wanting to raise good men. But here’s the truth: our boys don’t need us to play both roles of mom and dad. They need our nurturing, our feminine energy, and yes, they also need to learn responsibility and independence. It’s a delicate dance—teaching them empathy while guiding them to grow into self-sufficient men. So if you've been trying to play both mom and dad, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to. Your son needs their mom, and that is more than enough. Follow me on IG and TikTok: @motherhood_isghetto Watch on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/@motherhoodisghettopod

From big decisions to daily challenges, God is my co-parent, helping me raise my kids with love and purpose. This episode is your sign to lean on God throughout your motherhood journey.
