Who Are Safe People?

This week we're discussing Who Are Safe People?. When you're parenting on your own, the question of who to trust carries a lot of weight. You want connection. You need it. But after being hurt or let down, it's hard to know how much to share, how fast to move, or whether your read on someone is accurate or just wishful thinking. Most of us have let someone in before they'd really earned it. And most of us have paid for that in some way. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent, to talk through what it actually looks like to identify safe people, build trust slowly, and become the kind of person others can feel safe with too. <h2 dir="ltr">Key Insights from This Episode:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Trust is built by reliability over time, not first impressions. Watching someone show up consistently across different situations is the only real way to know if they're safe.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Loneliness and exhaustion lower your guard, and that's not a flaw, it's human. Understanding what's driving your need for connection helps you move toward people thoughtfully rather than reactively.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">To find safe people, you have to become one. Developing your own capacity for safety, presence without judgment, reliability, and the ability to make repair, is what makes you able to recognize it in others.</li> </ul> Whether you're navigating new friendships, dating, or even professional relationships, the challenges single parents face around trust are real and specific. This conversation addresses some of the most common ones. Join Us Live: We're continuing this conversation in a free live webinar on Sunday, July 19th at 7:00 PM Central.

A Solo Parent Story: From Numbing Out to Living Fully

This week we're discussing From Numbing Out to Living Fully. The end of the day hits differently when you are parenting alone. The kids are down, the house is finally quiet, and instead of feeling relief, there is this hollow weight that settles in. So you reach for something, anything, to take the edge off. A drink, a show, a scroll, something sweet. It does not feel like a problem. It feels like survival. But over time, the things you are leaning on to get through the day start quietly working against you, leaving you more exhausted, more disconnected, and further from the version of yourself you actually want to be. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Katrina Morriss, a licensed mental health nurse practitioner and single mom who has been part of the Solo Parent community since 2020. Katrina's story is not a tidy before-and-after. It is raw, honest, and the kind of account that makes you feel less alone in your own struggle. Together they walk through what it looks like to recognize the cycle, face the fear of what is on the other side of it, and find your way back to the moments that matter most. <h2 dir="ltr">Key Insights from This Episode:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Numbing and restoring are not the same thing. What feels like relief at the end of a hard day may actually be the thing keeping you stuck in exhaustion.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The known hell feels safer than the unknown heaven. Fear of what healing requires keeps more solo parents in the cycle than the pain of staying in it.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Presence for your kids is the fuel, not just the goal. The unregrettable moments with your children are what make the hard work of recovery worth sustaining.</li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr">Resources Mentioned in This Episode:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.chipdodd.com/books">The Voice of the Heart</a> by Chip Dodd</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.oneplace.com/ministries/the-alternative/">Tony Evans Podcast</a> </li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr">Stay Connected + Get Support:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://onelink.to/kn2e2b">Download our Solo Parent App</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://soloparent.org/online-groups/">Join a Solo Parent Group</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://soloparent.org/">Learn more about Solo Parent</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/soloparentsociety/?hl=en">Follow us on Instagram</a></li> </ul>

Tips for Creating a Peaceful Home Base

This week we're discussing: Tips for Creating a Peaceful Home Base Most solo parents are not struggling to love their kids well. They are struggling to create the kind of home where that love actually lands. Where kids feel safe, settled, and like they can exhale when they walk through the door. That gap between intention and reality is something almost every solo parent feels but rarely talks about out loud. A peaceful home is not something you either have or you don't. It is something you build, through the way you communicate, the way you listen, and the way you show up on the days when everything feels like too much. And it matters more than most of us realize, because when home feels unpredictable, kids do not just feel unsettled. They start filling the silence with their own story, and that story almost always ends with the same conclusion: something is wrong with me. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, a single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a single parent herself, to talk practically about what it takes to build a peaceful home base. Not a perfect one. A consistent one. <h2 dir="ltr">Key Insights from This Episode:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What you say, and how you say it, changes everything. Kids fill silence with their own story, and that story almost always puts the blame on themselves.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Listening well is more powerful than having the right answer. Empathy before action helps you understand what your child actually needs, not just what the situation appears to need.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">A peaceful home is a slow build, not a single decision. Consistency over time is what creates safety, and safety is what peace is made of.</li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr">Stay Connected + Get Support:</h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://onelink.to/kn2e2b">Download our Solo Parent App</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://soloparent.org/online-groups/">Join a Solo Parent Group</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://soloparent.org/">Learn more about Solo Parent</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/soloparentsociety/?hl=en">Follow us on Instagram</a></li> </ul>
