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!

    Healing Is Our Assignment

    What if healing isn't standing in the way of your purpose?

    What if healing is part of your purpose?

    Many of us spend our lives asking God about our calling, our next step, our future, and our purpose while avoiding an assignment that's already sitting on our desk: healing.

    As single moms, we're often experts at surviving. We keep moving, keep functioning, keep showing up for everyone else. But surviving and healing are not the same thing.

    In this episode of It's A Single Mom Thing, Sherry explores what it means to accept healing as an assignment from God—not as punishment, but as preparation. Together, we'll discuss why we resist healing, how unhealed wounds can impact our relationships and children, and how God can redeem the very things He didn't cause.

    You'll discover:

    ❤️ Why healing may be connected to your purpose
    ❤️ How God prepares our hearts before He expands our influence
    ❤️ The difference between surviving and healing
    ❤️ How healing can impact two generations at a time
    ❤️ Practical steps to begin your healing journey today
    ❤️ Why God isn't withholding something good—He's holding something good

    If you've ever wondered why God keeps bringing you back to the same area, this episode may help you see that He's not trying to hurt you.

    He's trying to heal you.

  • Where God Guides, He Provides: Finding God in the Slowdown
    May 18 2026

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    This week on It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets deeply personal as she shares what it’s looked like to trust God through an unexpected season of brain fog, medical challenges, slowed-down plans, and surrendered opportunities.

    After last week’s episode Problems to Promise: When God Rewrites the Plan, this conversation dives even deeper into what happens when God’s provision doesn’t look the way we expected.

    What if the interruption isn’t the punishment… but the provision?

    Through honest reflections, spiritual insight, and real-time lessons, Sherry explores:

    • learning to slow down without guilt
    • surrendering control
    • trusting God in uncertainty
    • allowing others to help
    • recognizing God’s provision through people, redirection, and community
    • and discovering that you are not alone—even when you live alone

    This episode is for the woman who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, delayed, interrupted, or unsure of what God is doing in this season.

    Because sometimes… where God guides, He provides not through hustle—but through healing, surrender, and support.

    If you need prayer or encouragement, Shepherd’s Village offers a 24-hour prayer line at 📞 855-822-PRAY and resources for single moms and women in transition at shepherdsvillage.com.

  • Problems to Promise: When God Rewrites the Plan
    May 12 2026

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    What if the problem you’re walking through right now…
    is actually part of the promise you’ve been praying for?

    In this powerful and real-time episode, Sherry shares a deeply personal look at what it means to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan. From moments of clarity and open doors… to unexpected disruption, physical challenges, and emotional tension—this episode walks through the journey from promise to process.

    You’ll hear how God gives the promise first…
    but often rewrites the plan in ways we never expected.

    And just when it feels like everything is aligning—
    the problems show up.

    But what if those problems aren’t setbacks?

    What if they’re preparation?

    What if they’re positioning you for something greater?

    Through honest storytelling and faith-filled perspective, Sherry unpacks the path from:
    ✨ Promise
    ➡️ Plan
    ➡️ Problems (the tests)
    ➡️ Possibilities
    ➡️ Promise Fulfilled through obedience

    If you’ve ever wondered:

    • “Did I miss what God told me?”
    • “Why doesn’t my life look like the promise?”
    • “How do I keep moving forward when everything feels off?”

    This episode is for you.

    💛 Challenge:
    Stop asking “Why is this happening?”
    Start asking “God, how are You going to use this?”

    📲 Don’t keep this to yourself—share it with another woman who needs this reminder today.
