  • Single & Over 40; She Compromised for a Fine-Looking Man; Don't Settle
    Jul 22 2025

    Cyndi Galley was a pastor working in ministry and at one point took her eyes off of what God was doing in her life. Instead, Cyndi started to look at other people and what they had. The more she looked the more she found herself wanting to be married. After all, it seems most everybody else was married. Then it happened - she met a man. A fine-looking man at that. He wasn't a Christian man, but he had watched Joel Osteen a few times :).

    Cyndi settled - she compromised her faith for a relationship with a man. Of course, it didn't end well. It never does. Now Cyndi is able to share with confidence that being single and over 40 can be the adventure of a lifetime. While Cyndi still desires to be married - her first priority is the Lord. Cyndi says she is happily single and works with other women to help them see that with God the single life (even after 40) can be a blessed and adventure filled life.

    Cyndi's message is simple don't settle - and live a fulfilled single life until God brings you just the right one.

    Jul 8 2025

    Rebuilding your life after divorce—and learning to co-parent well—can be incredibly challenging. That’s why I’m joined by Tammy Daughtry, founder of Co-Parenting International and someone who has walked this path herself. In this episode, Tammy shares practical strategies for navigating co-parenting in a way that puts your children first and supports their emotional well-being.

    We’ll dive into everything from managing the "handoff" to navigating holidays and special occasions. Tammy acknowledges that co-parenting isn’t always easy, but she emphasizes that with intentional planning, your children can thrive. She explains how to create a co-parenting dynamic where kids feel free to love both parents—without feeling torn between them.
