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!

  • Relationship Rehab: The Check-In (Episode 1)

    Are you ready to check yourself into Relationship Rehab? In this first episode of our brand-new series, we’re digging deep to uncover deception, break free from sabotage, and reclaim the truth of who we are in Christ as single women and single moms.

    Why now? Because the holiday season is coming — and nothing tempts us to settle for counterfeits like Christmas lights, cold weather, and a little mistletoe. This is your pregame before the season hits, so you don’t fall into the same traps of swipes, situationships, and sabotaging your own heart.

    This week we’re asking 3 powerful rehab check-in questions:
    1️⃣ Am I falling for feelings instead of truth?
    2️⃣ Am I mistaking singleness for punishment instead of preparation?
    3️⃣ Am I falling in love with the idea of love instead of the Author of love?

    Through raw honesty, biblical truth, and a little sass, we’ll flip the script on singleness and love. Because let’s be real — butterflies don’t pay bills, sparks don’t heal trauma, and chemistry doesn’t cover character. 💥

    And don’t miss the end, where I share a challenge I call Cold Turkey Before Turkey Day. Let’s just say something’s cooking — but you’ll have to listen to get the recipe. 👀

    👉 Tune in now to reclaim your worth, refresh your vision, and fall back in love with being singular — so you can stand strong in truth and avoid counterfeits this holiday season.

  • A Broken Heart Doesn’t Have to Be a Closed Heart

    Have you ever felt like when your heart breaks, the only safe thing to do is shut down? In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets real about the instinct to close off when life hurts—and why God is asking us to open wider instead.

    Sherry shares her own struggles and fresh lessons from God, reminding us that even mustard-seed trust counts, and that vulnerability can actually break strongholds and push the enemy back. She unpacks:

    • Why we tend to shut down when our hearts break (and the generational patterns behind it)
    • What it practically looks like to “open wider” in everyday single mom life
    • How even tiny faith can shift your perspective and move mountains
    • Why your kids, your family, and even your co-parent need you to live this message
    • A weekly challenge to pause, breathe into God, and take one step forward instead of shutting down

    Whether you’re a single mom walking through heartbreak, someone on the fence about Jesus, or just feeling weary, this episode is your reminder: a broken heart doesn’t have to be a closed heart.
