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.

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.

What does “normal” even mean when you’re a single mom? Culture may call single parenting the new normal, but if you’ve ever sat in a school auditorium surrounded by married couples, or explained to your kids why your family looks different, you know it rarely feels normal. In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry keeps it real—messy, complicated, and sometimes unfair—while pointing to the faith, strength, and purpose you can still find in the middle of it all.

Whether you’re co-parenting, flying solo, or simply navigating a season you didn’t choose, this conversation will help you laugh, reflect, and reset. With honesty, sass, and hope, you’ll discover:

• Why culture’s definition of normal leaves us feeling anything but.
• How faith steadies you when everything falls apart.
• What your kids learn by watching you live through the mess.
• Why messy doesn’t mean meaningless—and how God grows miracles in chaos.

This isn’t a life sentence—it’s a lesson in living. And maybe, just maybe, it’s the start of your new normal. Normal? Please.

Back-to-school chaos? We’ve all been there—missing shoes, cold coffee, and a bus that won’t wait. But mama, you don’t have to live in breakdown mode. In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets real about how single moms can flip the chaos into confidence with small, powerful shifts that save time, money, and sanity.

• Use a Weekly Meal & Activity Planner to tame the 5 p.m. dinner panic.
• Teach kids and teens to carry their share (yes, even financial contributions for young adults).
• Understand the real cost of disorganization—in hours lost, dollars wasted, and stress piled high.
• Reflect with guided journal questions that help you and your kids track wins, learn from mistakes, and take the next right step.
