Join Our Courageous Journey Together

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

How are you?

I’m reaching out with something a little special today.

As you may know, I’ve been working on a new project very close to my heart:
​Courage To Believe: 21 Day Devotional for Single Moms.

This devotional was born out of my own journey as a solo mom and from listening to the stories, tears, and victories of many single moms over the years. It walks through real emotions like fear, anxiety, loneliness, guilt, shame, and grief and gently points our hearts back to what God says about us and our situation.

Before I officially release it, I’d love to invite a small group of volunteer beta readers to help me refine it.

What I’m asking from you

If you join as a beta reader, you’ll:

  • Receive a free digital pre-release copy of the 21-day devotional
  • Read through it over the next 2–3 weeks
  • Share your honest feedback on things like:
    • What really spoke to your heart
    • Anything that felt confusing or unclear
    • Any typos or small errors you notice
    • How it helped you in your walk with God

To make it simple for you, I’ve created a Google form so most of your response can be just checking a box.

Who this is for

  • Single / solo moms who want encouragement and a deeper connection with God
  • Women who have walked a hard road and know what it feels like to need hope
  • Or anyone who works closely with single moms and wants to better understand their journey

If that sounds like you, I’d truly be honored to have your help.

How to raise your hand

If you’d like to be a beta reader, just reply to this email with:

“I’m in!”

I’ll send you more details and the devotional link as soon as the beta group is confirmed.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. Your support, prayers, and presence in this community mean more than you know. I believe God will use this devotional to minister deeply to single moms and I’d love for you to be part of shaping it.

Talk Soon,

​

Dear Reader, How are you? Have you ever looked back at a relationship, career move, friendship, or major life decision and wondered, What was I thinking? I know I have. Sometimes our choices aren’t made from a place of wisdom, confidence, or clarity. Sometimes they’re made from a place of pain. One of the most powerful yet often overlooked influences on our decision-making is abandonment. Abandonment isn’t always physical. It can come through divorce, rejection, neglect, emotional...

Dear Reader, How are you? I raised my two youngest sons completely without their father. I often felt the weight of trying to fill a role I wasn’t designed to fill. We are mothers, and as much as we try, we can’t be "daddy” as well. Nature just doesn’t work that way. But over the years, I learned that even though we are mothering solo, we don't have to parent alone. I discovered how to co-parenting with God. In the latest episode of SoloMom! Talk, I dive deep into how we can empower our sons...

Dear Reader, How are you? If you’ve read Day 6 of my devotional, Courage to Believe, you already know this story. But it’s a moment that has replayed in my mind because it changed how I view my role as a mother forever. So I had a long, tough day at work, followed by a brutal two-hour subway commute home. I was exhausted and running entirely in survival mode. I entered the front door, desperate for a moment of peace. Instead, I walked ‘smack dab’ into my kitchen and was ambushed by a messy,...
