<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, my Queens and welcome to another episode of X.S.M. (<strong>X</strong> and the <strong>S</strong>ingle <strong>M</strong>om) Podcast</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Episode 41: Mother's Day Special | Single Moms – Super Moms & That Is Enough</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Happy Mother's Day</strong> to every mother, this podcast is for every single mom, tired mom, praying mom, the mom who keeps showing up even when life feels heavy.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In this <strong>special Mother's Day</strong> episode of <strong>X</strong> and the <strong>S</strong>ingle <strong>M</strong>om, we are celebrating the beauty, strength, sacrifice, and sacred responsibility of motherhood. But we are also having an honest conversation about a phrase many single moms have said before: "I'm the mother and the father."</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This episode lovingly reminds single moms that you do not have to carry a title that was never yours to prove your strength. A father's role is a separate role with separate responsibilities, and trying to carry both can create an emotional burden you were never meant to bare.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style= "margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.25in; line-height: 107%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> <!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span> <!--[endif]-->You are not the mother and the father.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style= "margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.25in; line-height: 107%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> <!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span> <!--[endif]-->You are the mother.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style= "margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.25in; line-height: 107%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> <!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span> <!--[endif]-->And motherhood is powerful all by itself.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In this episode, we talk about honoring your role, releasing unnecessary pressure, understanding the difference between standing in the gap and becoming someone, you are not, and remembering that being a super mom does not mean being everything to everybody:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You are allowed to need help, build support, admit that one person cannot (nor should they want to) replace an entire role. Remember, especially on this day.<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> You are still worthy of honor.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br style= "mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!--[endif]--></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This Mother's Day, the message is simple: You are not a substitute father. You are not required to be two people, trying to take on dual rolls. Most of you are super moms and that is more than enough.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for being part of this journey. If this episode speaks to you, share it with another mom who needs it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Special Offer:</strong><br /> The first 20 people who email <strong>XSMpodcast@gmail.com</strong> with the subject line "<strong>I Want It"</strong> will receive a free resource: <strong>10 Self-Care Hacks for Busy Single-Moms.</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"> <strong>Connect:</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;">Thank you for listening to another episode of X and the Single Mom Podcast.
