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!

  • Who Told You the Glass Was Still There?

    This Fourth of July, we're celebrating more than political freedom-we're talking about the freedom Jesus died to give us.

    What invisible walls are still shaping your life? Fear, shame, rejection, anxiety, or the belief that your past defines your future?

    In this episode, Sherry explores the oldest battle in history-the battle between truth and deception-and how the lies we've believed can quietly become the language we live by. Through Scripture and powerful illustrations, you'll discover how to renew your mind, rewrite the story you've been telling yourself, and embrace the freedom Christ has already won for you.

    One heartbreaking chapter doesn't get to become the title of your whole story.

    Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and join us at the coffee table as we ask one life-changing question:

    Who told you the glass was still there?

  • You said you wanted different.

    You said you wanted different.

    Not perfect. Different.

    In this episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry invites you to pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and revisit a simple but powerful question: What did you say was important?

    Somewhere between the breakthrough and the becoming, many of us get distracted. We get busy raising kids, paying bills, juggling responsibilities, and simply trying to survive. Before we know it, we've lost sight of the very things we once prayed for—peace, healing, freedom, stability, and a different future.

    Through relatable stories, a few laughs, and heartfelt reflection, Sherry explores why it's so easy to drift from our purpose and how to find our way back by following the breadcrumbs we left behind.

    If you've ever found yourself staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wondering how you got here—or if you've forgotten why you started your healing journey—this episode is for you.

    Because maybe the answer isn't found in a new strategy.

    Maybe it's found in remembering what you said mattered most.

    Join us as we revisit the prayer, the promise, and the purpose—and discover that the God who met you in that 2 a.m. moment is still sitting at the table.

  • Painkillers and Band-Aids: Because Some Fixes Don't Fix Anything
    Jun 8 2026

    Send Sherry a Text Message

    When life hurts, where do you turn?

    Food. Busyness. Social media. Serial dating. Avoiding the hard things. We all have our "fix"- something that helps numb the pain, distract us from reality, or make us feel better for a moment.

    But what happens when the fix isn't fixing anything?

    In this heartfelt and honest episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry explores the difference between temporary relief and lasting healing. Building on last week's episode, Healing Is an Assignment, she dives into the coping mechanisms we often reach for when life feels overwhelming and asks a powerful question:

    Can I trust God with the places I've been trying to manage myself?

    Through personal reflections, practical insights, and biblical encouragement, you'll discover why some fixes quietly become substitutes for God, why healing requires surrender, and how true freedom begins when we stop managing our pain and allow God to transform it.

    If you've ever found yourself running back to old patterns, struggling to let go, or wondering why healing feels so hard, this episode is for you.

    Because painkillers have a purpose.

    Band-aids have a purpose.

    But eventually the wound has to be cleaned if it's going to heal.

    You want God's best? Forget the rest. Let Him fix your fix.
