Is Worry The Thief of Your Peace? w/J. Rosemarie Francis

How does worry become the thief of the solo mom's peace?

I remember many nights I lie awake “borrowing trouble,” replaying worries about my job, finances, and my children’s safety.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how chronic worry steals our peace. I also discuss the biblical truths and practical supports that helped me exchange sleepless nights for real rest, peace, and renewed courage.

Finally, connection beats isolation. Therapy, church community, and Solo Moms Connect all provide safe spaces to process emotions and find support.       

Key Takeaways:

02:30 Worry is “borrowing trouble.” It drains energy, keeps you awake at night, and never solves anything.                                                

04:10 Worry and fear are tangled but distinct. Naming “worry” separately helps you address it head-on instead of letting it hide behind generic “stress.”

10:15 You can’t solve anything by worrying, but you can by praying and planning. Scripture invites us to bring our needs to God so we can take action with clarity.

12:00 Rest comes from God’s promises. Verses in Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Psalm 55, and Isaiah 41 anchor anxious hearts and restore sleep.

About the Podcast

SoloMoms! Talk
Connecting the stories of solo moms globally
Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives.

Host, J. Rosemarie Francis welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives.

This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone.  Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM.

Single moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children.
___________________________________
The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of single moms around the world.  Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner.
__________
I want single moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence.
Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 
1) bring awareness to the struggles of single moms; 
2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 
3) reduce the number of single moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 
4) to help single moms see themselves as God sees them.

J. Rosemarie Francis

As the solo mom of 3 adult sons, I've experienced life raising children solo. My goal is to connect moms around the world who are raising children alone. I'm not only a podcast host but I also mentor solo moms to Shift, Heal, and Empower themselves to live a transformed life -- to see themselves as God sees them.

My mission is to reduce the number of solo moms worldwide through mentoring, education, and encouraging spiritual growth through my S.H.E. framework.
