Welcome to “It's A Single Mom Thing,” the show for single moms by single moms, hosted by Sherry Chandler. Being a solo momma and present parent is hard work, and losing focus is easy when you forget your faith. The good news is you are not alone. You were singled out this season, and together, we can work on what’s not working for you—finding Christ in the crisis! Whether you’re tuning in early in the morning or late at night, I’m here for you, momma. This podcast is your go-to space for navigating life as a single mom with faith, fun, and a fresh perspective. We'll cover everything from mastering a single-mom success mindset and budgeting like a boss to prioritizing self-care and raising resilient kids. We’ll share time management hacks, parenting perspectives, co-parenting challenges, and how to find joy and laugh again. Together, we’ll move from surviving to thriving in every season of single motherhood. Be encouraged. Get inspired. You can do this, momma. Each Monday, join me for practical advice, relatable stories, and uplifting conversations as we walk this journey from solo momma to solo momma. I promise not to take too much of your time, and I’m so grateful you’re spending it with me. It may be a single mom thing, but it doesn’t have to be the "single thing" that stops you!

    Becoming Her: Living From ‘I AM’ Instead of ‘I Was.’

    Send Sherry a Text Message You are not who you were… But a lot of us are still living like we are. “I was hurt…”  “I was left…”  “I was the one who didn’t get it right…” 👉 Maybe not in pigtails anymore… but still carrying it around in a ponytail. But God didn’t say “I WAS.” 👉 He said I AM. And if He lives in you… you don’t have to keep living from your past. 👉 I AM rebuilt… I AM.  👉 I AM chosen… I AM.  👉 I AM free… I AM. 🎧 Listen now at shepherdsvillage.com/podcast or on your favorite streaming platform 📞 Need prayer? 855-822-PRAY #ShepherdsVillage #ShepherdsVillageUniversity #ItsASingleMomThing Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

    How Do I Move If I Feel Stuck?

    Send Sherry a Text Message Feeling stuck? Same spot, same thoughts, no movement?  Yeah… we’re not staying there. In this episode, we’re talking about how to move—even when it’s scary, unclear, and far from perfect. Because stuck isn’t your story… it’s just where you’ve been sitting too long.

    One Promise at a Time

    Send Sherry a Text Message Spring break can turn a single mom’s routine upside down—more snacks, less structure, and a whole lot of chaos. In this Power-Up Pep Talk, Sherry shares encouragement from Luke 1:45, reminding moms that sometimes faith doesn’t mean having every answer—it simply means holding onto one promise from God. Together, we reflect on Mary’s faith while she was still carrying the promise of Jesus and how that same kind of trust can carry us through our own uncertain seasons. With Easter approaching and the days getting longer, this short devotional offers practical encouragement, a simple “Promise Post” activity you can do with your kids during spring break, and a reminder that God finishes what He starts. If you need a little fuel for your week, this pep talk is for you. Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

    What's Your Non-Negotiable

    Send Sherry a Text Message At some point, every woman has to decide what’s non-negotiable — not out of pride, but out of wisdom. In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, we’re talking about the lines that protect your faith, your healing, your relationships, your children, and your future. Because if you don’t define what’s foundational in your life, life will define it for you. We’ll unpack how we negotiate with ourselves, why silence can cost more than truth, and how your boundaries today shape the adults you’re raising tomorrow. This isn’t about building walls. It’s about building standards. So the question is simple: What’s your non-negotiable? Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

    Move, Mountain!

    Send Sherry a Text Message 🎙️ Move, Mountain | Faith, Authority & Mustard Seed Belief for Christian Single Moms What did Jesus really mean when He said, “If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Move,’ it will move” (Mark 11:22–24)? In this powerful episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, we unpack the biblical context behind mountain-moving faith and what it means for Christian single moms navigating fear, finances, co-parenting, and rebuilding after divorce. This isn’t about manifestation or hype.  It’s about identity, spiritual authority, and mustard seed faith (Matthew 17:20). If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly believing small stories about yourself, this episode will challenge you to stop negotiating with your mountain and start speaking to it. You don’t need giant faith.  You need alignment with God. And when you begin speaking truth over your past, present, and future… something shifts. Move, mountain. Need prayer or support?

    Love Doesn't Start With A Person

    Send Sherry a Text Message Love doesn’t start with a person—and it definitely doesn’t start on Valentine’s Day. This episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing is not about dating advice, relationship status, or pressure to be “okay” with where you are. It’s about your heart—and where it’s been drawing love from. Whether you’re dating, healing, resting, hopeful, guarded, or choosing peace right now, this conversation meets you where you are without trying to move you anywhere. We talk about why people make terrible sources, why your heart may feel tired instead of broken, and what shifts when love stops being something you look for and starts being something you live from. Rooted in faith and honest reflection, this episode reframes love away from being chosen, pursued, or claimed—and back to its true source. Because when love has a steady source, everything else stops carrying the weight of your worth. No sappy clichés. No Valentine’s Day pressure. Just a freeing reminder that you’re not waiting for love to begin—it already has. Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

    Motivation is momentary. Discipline is daily. Determination is permanent.

    Send Sherry a Text Message Motivation is momentary. Discipline is daily. Determination is permanent. And if you’re a single mom trying to build a better future, this episode is for you. Two days into February, the “new year motivation” starts to fade—but this is where real growth begins. In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry breaks down the difference between motivation, discipline, and determination, and how single moms can use all three to stop surviving and start building. You’ll learn how to break big goals into small bites, stay consistent when life gets hard, and follow through even when you don’t feel like it. Plus, you’ll hear Sherry’s February Follow-Through Challenge to help you take audacious steps toward financial freedom, healing, and forward momentum—without quitting. If you’re in the Tampa Bay area, Shepherd’s Village offers classes, Shepherd’s Village University resources, and a 24-hour prayer line at shepherdsvillage.com.

    Fear of Failure Is Not Your Boss

    Send Sherry a Text Message Fear of failure has been acting like your boss—and today, we’re firing it. In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, we’re flipping the pressure of “What do you want to achieve?” into a more powerful question: What do you want to experience this year? Even if life feels messy, heavy, or uncertain, you can still choose a direction. We’ll talk about the question that exposes what your heart really wants—“If you knew you could never fail, what would you do?”—and why fear of failure keeps so many single moms stuck in overthinking, delaying, and talking themselves out of growth. You’ll walk away with practical, real-life shifts to get moving again: shrinking the step, redefining failure, creating a 14-day experiment, building a Plan B, and choosing courage over confidence. Plus, I’ll guide you through the Experience Map—a simple 3-step exercise to help you choose one word for your year, picture what it looks like, and take one brave step that fits your real life. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, or at shepherdsvillage.com/podcast. If you need prayer, call our 24-hour prayer line: 855-822-PRAY. If you’re in the Tampa Bay area, learn about our upcoming classes at shepherdsvillage.com/classes. Share this episode with a friend who needs a push with love—because fear can talk, but it doesn’t drive. Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!
