Send Sherry a Text Message Can You Sit With Me in This? Ever feel like you're the one holding everything together, but wonder who's holding space for you?

Grab your coffee, pull up a cushion on my plush velvet couch, and come as you are. No fixing required. Just room to exhale. 💙 Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Send Sherry a Text Message What does a Publix freezer aisle have to do with trusting God?  More than you’d think. When you can’t see what God is doing, when He seems quiet, and you can't see the whole staircase—maybe you don't need more light. Maybe you just need enough for the next step.  Single mama, you don't have to know where this is going. You just need to know Who you're walking with. Grab your coffee. Meet me on the couch.

Send Sherry a Text Message You put the fig leaf down. You opened your heart. And then...somebody hurt you. Now what? 🌿 In Part Two of The Courage to Be Seen, we're talking about staying vulnerable without leaving the door unlocked-speaking truth in love, setting boundaries without building walls, and learning who actually gets a backstage pass to your heart. Because, girlfriend, a soft heart doesn't have to be an unprotected one. Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Send Sherry a Text Message What if there’s more of you underneath the version everyone knows? 🌿 A fig leaf. A question in the Garden. And one realization I didn’t see coming. In Part One of The Courage to Be Seen, we’re looking at the things we hide behind, the versions of ourselves we learned to become, and one surprisingly difficult question: “Where are you?” We’re not fixing anything yet. We’re just noticing what might be hiding in plain sight. Because before we can talk about who gets to see the real us in Part Two... we may need to find her first. ❤️ Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Send Sherry a Text Message God’s Antidepressants: A Carline Circle Devotional What if peace doesn’t come because the situation changes—but because we do? Pull up, Mama. We’re talking surrender, casting our cares, leaving tomorrow in tomorrow, and discovering the kind of peace that makes absolutely no sense...but feels like a weighted blanket from God. And yes, we may need to pray for the woman in the car behind us too. 😂 Pull up. Let go. Let God. Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Send Sherry a Text Message 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? 📞 24-Hour Prayer Line: 855-822-PRAY (7729) 🌐 More resources: shepherdsvillage.com Support the show It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Send Sherry a Text Message 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.

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.

Send Sherry a Text Message 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. 🎧 Listen now at shepherdsvillage.com/podcast or on your favorite streaming platform. 📞 Need prayer? Our 24-hour prayer line is available anytime at 855-822-PRAY.

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.
