05-22-2014: Being Both Parents – Balancing Nurture and Discipline as a Single Parent
Gender roles usually cause great debate when discussing relationships and dating. What about when choosing a preferred role is not an option as you are the only adult in the relationship? Rather than a question of fairness, the question becomes how can I both offer compassion and set firm boundaries as my child’s only parent?
This week’s show is for you if: you’re a single parent by choice or circumstance, you were once a single parent, you’re a “married” single parent, you were raised by a single parent, or you know a single parent.

Our new friend, Jenisea Albritton, survived this accident:
More about her:
I’m 29 and living in ATL. A year ago Feb. 10th 2013, I had a car wreck that changed my life. On the way back from ATL to NC, I flipped my car in a ditch, went through the windshield, broke both ankles and my right hip. My face was gashed open. I was told I all the bad news about not walking and everything but, for 2 months, I worked hard to get myself together. My therapist and doctors were awesome and prayerful for my recovery. Friends and family and a multitude of people reached out on FB to support me. They all got me through my recovery. While in rehab, I finished my HR degree, got out, graduated and got back driving and to work again. With no therapy after rehab, I’ve been pushing myself to walk better and get back to normal. Once I got the go ahead from my doctors – I have since gotten back to my journey and moved to ATL to pursue my dreams and aspirations.
05-01-2014: Being the Prodigal
There are times when we must face the consequences of our actions. Even if the actions were initially embedded in “good intentions,” and the consequences were “unintentional.” We must know how to accept our faults, forgive ourselves, and seek the forgiveness of the ones we hurt. How do we start that process?
