Why Shame Keeps Single Moms Hiding and How God Changes Everything

Shame has a way of whispering lies that make us believe we're failing our children. As single moms, we carry burdens that feel too heavy. We wonder if we're enough, if our kids deserve better, or if other families are silently judging our choices.

While working on the audiobook version of my Courage to Believe Christian Devotional, Day 7 struck me in a profound way. It addresses that crushing weight of shame we often bear as solo parents, and I knew I had to share this powerful message with you.

When Shame Keeps Us Isolated

In this episode, I share Eva's story. A mom who found herself avoiding other parents just to escape the feeling of being judged. Her experience reveals how shame thrives in isolation, convincing us that we're alone in our struggles. Whether it's the sting of a failed marriage, the pressure of not measuring up at work, or that quiet voice telling us we're not enough, shame tries to define our worth.

Eva's story resonates with so many of us because it captures those painful moments when we can't afford the perfect birthday gift, when we see complete families at school events, when we convince ourselves our children deserve a life we can't provide.

The Unexpected Surprise God Offers

But here's what I want you to understand: God doesn't see the labels the world tries to put on us, and He doesn't agree with them. The core message of day seven reveals how God offers an unexpected surprise by wiping our slate clean.

This episode gives you a sneak peek into the audiobook experience, specifically focusing on how we can address the root cause of shame instead of letting it continue to burden us.

What You'll Gain From This Episode:

1. Recognition of how shame operates in isolation and affects our daily interactions

2. Understanding that your struggles as a single mom are not unique. You're not alone

3. Insight into God's perspective on your worth beyond worldly labels

4. Hope for breaking free from the cycle of shame and self-doubt

5. A glimpse into the transformative message of the full 21-day devotional

If Eva's story resonates with you, this episode offers the first step in reclaiming your light so your children can see it shine. Remember, you are not defined by your circumstances. You are seen, valued, and loved exactly as you are.
