Welcome to the Catholic Single Mothers Podcast. If you’re a single mother seeking hope and inspiration, this podcast is for you. We are Momentum, a Catholic faith community dedicated to supporting single mothers. Join us each month, from October to May, as we share stories, reflections, and insights from single mothers and special guests. To learn more about Momentum, visit www.momentummothers.org (http://www.momentummothers.org).
In this episode, we sit down with MerryJill Milne, who shares her journey through marriage, separation, and becoming a single mother. With honesty and depth, she reflects on the pain of leaving her marriage, the grief that followed, and the profound healing she experienced through surrendering her life to Jesus. MerryJill speaks about the reality of walking through brokenness while learning to trust God, and how her faith sustained her as she navigated the challenges of raising her daughters and holding space for their pain.
Through a powerful reflection, MerryJill invites us to “Pick the Fruit in Every Season” from our experiences, to recognize the grace, growth, and goodness that can emerge even from the most difficult seasons, while letting go of what is not meant to be carried forward. This is a message of hope, resilience, and identity, reminding us that even a small seed of hope is enough, and that God is always present, calling us by name and walking with us in every step of the journey.
