About this listen

 Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives. Host, J. Rosemarie welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives. This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone. Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM. Solo moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children. ___________________________________________________________ The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of solo moms around the world. Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner. _________________________________________________________ I want solo moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence. Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 1) bring awareness to the struggles of solo moms; 2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 3) reduce the number of solo moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 4) to help them see themselves as God sees them. _________________________________________________________ Website: https://bit.ly/3IWWSiP This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy℗ & © 2024 Jo$hua's Coast Media Parenting & Families Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences

  • Is Worry The Thief of Your Peace? w/J. Rosemarie Francis

    Is Worry The Thief of Your Peace? w/J. Rosemarie Francis
    May 6 2025

    How does worry become the thief of the solo mom's peace?

    I remember many nights I lie awake “borrowing trouble,” replaying worries about my job, finances, and my children’s safety.

    In this episode, I share my thoughts on how chronic worry steals our peace. I also discuss the biblical truths and practical supports that helped me exchange sleepless nights for real rest, peace, and renewed courage.

    Finally, connection beats isolation. Therapy, church community, and Solo Moms Connect all provide safe spaces to process emotions and find support.

    Key Takeaways:

    02:30 Worry is “borrowing trouble.” It drains energy, keeps you awake at night, and never solves anything.

    04:10 Worry and fear are tangled but distinct. Naming “worry” separately helps you address it head-on instead of letting it hide behind generic “stress.”

    10:15 You can’t solve anything by worrying, but you can by praying and planning. Scripture invites us to bring our needs to God so we can take action with clarity.

    12:00 Rest comes from God’s promises. Verses in Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Psalm 55, and Isaiah 41 anchor anxious hearts and restore sleep.

  • What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid? w/ J. Rosemarie Francis

    What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid? w/ J. Rosemarie Francis
    Apr 29 2025

    In this episode, we explore how fear impacts solo moms, influencing how we raise our children, build relationships, and pursue our dreams.

    Also, I encourage you to reflect on what you would do if fear didn’t hold you back.

    Finally, I include scripture to remind you that fear is not from God.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Fear can shape major aspects of life and parenting often leads to missed opportunities or overly cautious decisions if not managed with care.
    • Unchecked fear creates invisible barriers to achieving your dreams, taking risks, or trusting fully, but with faith, you can overcome these barriers.
    • Scripture reminds us that fear is not from God; instead, God gives power, love, and self-control to navigate fear with wisdom and courage.

    “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
