  • Solo Parenting CEO: The Freedom & The Freakout
    Jul 18 2025

    Improving the relationship with yourself so you don’t take your trash to others.

    📖 Scripture:

    James 1:5 (NIV) – "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

    In this episode, we’re diving into the rollercoaster that is solo parenting. On one hand, the freedom to make all the decisions — no debates, no compromises. On the other hand? The anxiety of knowing every choice falls squarely on your shoulders. From picking schools and discipline strategies to Googling “gentle parenting” while hiding in the bathroom, we’re talking about the wins, the breakdowns, and the hilarious in-between.

    Pull up a seat on the red couch, pour a glass of wine (or juice box if that’s your season), and let’s unpack the beauty and chaos of being the boss of our parenting lives — even when we wish someone else would just make the dang snack decision.
