Back-to-school isn’t just about supplies and schedules—it’s a season of emotional transition for both kids and single moms. In this powerful Part 2 of Looking Through Their Eyes, Sherry dives deep into how to recognize what your child may be feeling but not saying out loud—especially in the middle of big changes like a new grade, a new school, or senior year.

Through personal reflection, brain-based tools, and faith-filled encouragement, you’ll discover how to:

• Understand your child’s nonverbal emotional cues
• Use the “Spot it. Got it.” technique (with a snap!) to stay grounded and present
• Reconnect with your own needs before responding to theirs
• Enjoy simple, intentional ways to bond with your child or teen before school starts
• Practice a powerful journaling and prayer exercise that creates space for healing

Whether you’re parenting a kindergartener or a high school senior, this episode will equip you to listen with your heart, connect with purpose, and parent with perspective.

💛 Bonus Moments Include:

• A fun “One Last Summer Slurp” activity for reconnecting with teens
• Proverbs 4:23 reflection: “Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
• 24-hour prayer line invitation: 855-822-PRAY

It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

In this episode of It’s a Single Mom Thing, Sherry takes it from the court to the heart—literally. Using the game of pickleball as a powerful (and hilarious) metaphor, she unpacks what this fast-paced sport can teach single moms about spiritual focus, mental resilience, and staying on mission in the middle of life’s messiest matches.

Whether you’re feeling intimidated by your current season, frustrated with your pace of progress, or straight-up ready to throw your paddle and walk off the court—this one’s for you.

🎯 Learn how to:

• Stay focused on what matters (just like Peter kept his eyes on Jesus in the storm)
• Handle emotional curveballs with grace instead of reaction
• Recognize the spiritual warfare that comes through distraction
• Set an example for your kids who are watching your “gameplay”
• Serve with purpose—on and off the court

👟 Sherry shares her real-life (and real-funny) experiences as a competitive pickleball player and uses them to encourage single moms to keep showing up, even when they feel behind.

💡 PLUS: If you need someone to pray with you, our 24-hour prayer line is here:

💬 Because when you’re in a pickle, you don’t quit—you play pickleball.

In this raw and revealing episode of It’s A Single Mom Thing, host Sherry kicks off a powerful new series: Looking Through Their Eyes: Parenting with Perspective.

Sis, before you react to your child’s behavior—what if you paused and asked: “Is this really about them… or is it a reflection of me?”

In Part 1: Slow Down, Mama: Seeing Yourself, Hearing Them, and Healing Together, Sherry gets honest about the triggers, the yelling, the "perfect mom" pressure, and the emotional baggage we sometimes pass on without even knowing it.

You’ll learn:

Why your child’s behavior might be mirroring your own

How to be present (not perfect)

What your reactions reveal—and how to shift them

How to begin healing so your child can too

PLUS: A journaling challenge, a soul-soothing prayer, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change the reflection in your parenting mirror.
