It's hard to identify who the enemy is in our conflicts.
It gets exponentially more difficult when you are under stress or feeling emotional, which happens so often in our most important, most intimate relationships. This all makes it much more difficult to know how to fight your battles and win over, or defeat, your enemies.
In today's episode, we look at what Ephesians says about who our enemy really is and then what Sunday's readings tell us about how to fight those who hurt us.
It's not an easy command, but it is a good one!
God Bless...

The issues single moms face are far bigger than we can handle with out own abilities. Single moms and hurting children deserve more than lessons on mindset and motivation alone.
It's time we realize we are in a spiritual battle and the evil forces we face are not of flesh and blood!
Join me in today's episode as we transition Single Mom Smiling from a straight up single mom podcast to one addressing attacks on Marriage and family.
Learn with me! Tell me what you think of this new direction and share your experiences, questions, and knowledge about spiritual warfare and attacks by the evil one on the family.
And please pray for me. I will be praying for you!
God Bless...

The world tells you one thing about what love looks like, but what happens when that so-called love falls apart? What happens when your self-worth is so wrapped up in the modern idea of "love" that you lose yourself when you lose your lover?
In today's episode, realize love is not your God, but your God is Love.
Then, learn what it means to be Loved beyond measure whether you are never Married, divorce, annulled, widowed, or just feeling so terribly alone in this season. Learn how you can celebrate Love on Valentine's Day as a Single Mom.
God Bless...

Finding out you are pregnant and unsupported by your unborn child's father is beyond terrifying. This is true whether you are a teen who doesn't know who to tell or an older woman whose life suddenly crashed and burned.
So many people say they want to help but assume the government or churches or "somebody" else is going to fill the gap. Still others just don't know what to do to help.
In this episode, I begin to answer the question of what single moms, especially moms who have been left pregnant and alone, need most from those around them. I even include lessons from Dan Quinn (Green Beret) as was taught us in Jason Van Camp's (also a Green Beret) Deliberate Discomfort Challenge training.
Don't forget, the best thing you can provide for a single mom is presence. Be there for her, love her, and let her know she can count on you.
God Bless...

What do single moms who were abandoned while pregnant say about their experiences? I recently asked single moms whose boyfriends got them pregnant and then left them three questions. They gave me permission to share their responses in today's episode.
If you find yourself pregnant and abandoned, please reach out. As these women's words portray, there is such joy in in the unexpected!
And always, know you are stronger than you know and more courageous than others give you credit for. Know there is help. You are not alone. You are LOVED!

I know what it's like to be pregnant and alone. I know what it''s like to be TERRIFIED and to think you can't do this, that I don't have enough...
Worse, I know what it's like to think I AM not enough, that I can never have nor raise this child alone.
On the anniversary of Roe v Wade and in celebration of the March for Life, I offer advice, encouragement, and support to women and young girls who find themselves pregnant and alone.
Please leave a 5 start written review and, most importantly, share this episode to help others in these, seemingly impossible, situations.
God Bless...

Quitter's Day is the second Friday of January, but we are not made to quit! Our country and our faith were not born of quitters. You were not born to be a quitter but to be great through trial and perseverance!
Jesus calls us to continue on in Love. This is true whether you are a struggling single mom or stuck in a struggling Marriage. The call to perfection is the call to Love in all circumstances.
Today's message is not just for single moms but for anyone who is ready to quit and give up or walk away. It may be controversial, but it also may be more needed than ever.
God Bless...

The new year can be a time for new beginnings and the start of a new you. While many people set goals to be healthier, to get financially fit, to declutter, or to build better relationships, few keep those goals.
What if that's because they're aiming small? What if God is not simply calling you to meet a goal, but He is calling you to perfection?
Before getting on the anti-perfection bandwagon, consider that Jesus tells us to, "Be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect"?
Today's episode looks at what it means to strive for perfection in 2025. I'd love to hear what you think and how you're striving for perfection in your life!
God Bless...

Christmas can be tough on single moms. That is true whether you are trying to cram all the joy of the season into one day or even week or you are sitting alone, feeling forgotten, dejected, and missing your children on the holidays.

She also asks one important question based on the words of Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, as she greets the pregnant Virgin Mary. How you answer this question has the power to reframe your Christmas thinking.

The 4th Sunday of Advent is all about love, but it can be difficult for a single mom to feel loved when she has been so beaten down. It can be worse when you have been told you were never loved or that you were unlovable, but these are lies from the devil.
Want to know the truth? In this episode, we reframe the lies surrounding how loved you are and begin to ask what if everything that happens to you is actually happening because you are Loved?
What if there is a new kind of love awaiting you?
God Bless...

The 3rd Sunday of Advent is meant to celebrate Joy, but what happens when you can't find any joy to celebrate?
There have been holiday seasons I wasn't sure I could survive. In one particularly hard year, I fell to the bathroom floor and sobbed. I didn't want to go on.
And yet...there in the dark, there was reason to find Joy!
Join me today as we discuss a very difficult topic too many people encounter in the holiday season.

Do you wonder what the Immaculate Conception is or what God planned for Mary? Maybe you question whether you have purpose in the role you play or wonder what kind of impact you can have?
When you're tired, rundown, and stressed this holiday season, My Mary provides a good example of tirelessly running after children.
God Bless...

The election is over and whether your candidate won or lost, Americans must find a way to move forward together. The path to healing after the election is very similar to the path to healing after divorce, abandonment, or any kind of significant break up or loss.
That path forward lies in healing through strength that comes through three main practices. Learn about these practices in today's episode and move forward in healing.
