About this listen

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!

  • When In a Pickle(ball), Play Pickleball
    Jul 21 2025

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry takes it from the court to the heart—literally. Using the game of pickleball as a powerful (and hilarious) metaphor, she unpacks what this fast-paced sport can teach single moms about spiritual focus, mental resilience, and staying on mission in the middle of life’s messiest matches.

    Whether you’re feeling intimidated by your current season, frustrated with your pace of progress, or straight-up ready to throw your paddle and walk off the court—this one’s for you.

    🎯 Learn how to:

    • Stay focused on what matters (just like Peter kept his eyes on Jesus in the storm)
    • Handle emotional curveballs with grace instead of reaction
    • Recognize the spiritual warfare that comes through distraction
    • Set an example for your kids who are watching your “gameplay”
    • Serve with purpose—on and off the court

    👟 Sherry shares her real-life (and real-funny) experiences as a competitive pickleball player and uses them to encourage single moms to keep showing up, even when they feel behind.

    💬 Because when you’re in a pickle, you don’t quit—you play pickleball.

  • Part 1: Looking Through Their Eyes: Parenting with Perspective
    Jul 14 2025

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    In this raw and revealing episode of It’s A Single Mom Thing, host Sherry kicks off a powerful new series: Looking Through Their Eyes: Parenting with Perspective.

    Sis, before you react to your child’s behavior—what if you paused and asked: “Is this really about them… or is it a reflection of me?”

    In Part 1: Slow Down, Mama: Seeing Yourself, Hearing Them, and Healing Together, Sherry gets honest about the triggers, the yelling, the "perfect mom" pressure, and the emotional baggage we sometimes pass on without even knowing it.

    You’ll learn:

    Why your child’s behavior might be mirroring your own

    How to be present (not perfect)

    What your reactions reveal—and how to shift them

    How to begin healing so your child can too

    PLUS: A journaling challenge, a soul-soothing prayer, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change the reflection in your parenting mirror.

    💗 Need prayer or support? Don’t go through it alone—reach out through our prayer line (details in show notes).

    🎧 It’s a single mom thing—and not the single thing that stops you.

  • Rooted to Rise – When God Transplants You
    Jul 7 2025

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    Ever feel like everything around you is shifting—and you don’t know why? Relationships change. Routines unravel. Your once-solid footing suddenly feels shaky. But what if you’re not falling apart… what if you’re being repotted?

    In this deeply personal and Spirit-led episode, Sherry invites you into a powerful conversation about what it looks like when God begins to gently loosen your roots—not to break you, but to grow you. Through the lens of her own current season of transition, she shares what it means to trust the Master Gardener as He prunes, separates, and prepares us for more.

    This episode is for the single mom who’s been pouring into everyone else’s garden, wondering if God sees hers.
    Spoiler alert: He does.

    💬 Real talk.
    🪴 Root work.
    💔 Healing.
    🌺 Growth.

    Tune in and be reminded: you’re not being left behind—you’re being moved forward.

    📞 Need someone to pray with you? Call our 24-hour prayer line at 855-822-PRAY. You don’t have to go through this season alone.
