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.

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.

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.
