This episode came from a really simple but honest realization I had recently…

I’m not single.
I’m ALIIIVE!

The word “single” has been carrying a lot of weight that doesn’t actually belong to it.

For some people, it means something is missing.
It turns into questions like:

Why are you single?
Why aren’t you married?
What’s wrong?

And then on the other side, it swings into this hyper-independent, anti-love energy.. I don’t fully resonate with either.

I wanted to sit down and talk through what this season has actually looked like for me.

After almost 7 years of being a single mom, I’ve had time to really observe life- my own patterns, relationships around me, and what actually creates stability… especially when kids are involved.

This episode is about:

• redefining what “single” actually means
• the pressure women feel to explain their relationship status
• why I stopped saying I’m single… and started saying I’m alive
• what it means to build a life that already feels full
• how time gives you clarity in what you actually need in a partner
• my ideal man “list” (to God)
• and why I’m willing to wait for alignment instead of settling for “decent”

I also share some perspective around:

• single-parent households in the U.S.
• how common this actually is
• and why bringing someone into your life (and your kids’ life) isn’t something I take lightly

This isn’t about being anti-love, I do want love. I do want marriage. I would love to have more children.

But I’m not living from a place where something is missing while I wait for that. 🫶🏼
