Approaching the New Year with Intentionality

When you are the only parent in the home, life often feels reactive instead of chosen. Every decision, every emotion, every consequence lands on your shoulders. That constant pressure can leave you feeling scattered, exhausted, and unsure how to move forward with clarity or hope. This conversation speaks directly to the pain of trying to parent well, grow personally, and stay grounded when mistakes feel costly and the future feels uncertain. Intentionality matters because it helps solo parents move from survival to direction, even when life feels chaotic. In this episode, Marissa Lee (author, and single parent) joins Robert and Elizabeth to explore how intentionality shapes parenting, emotional health, and long-term growth. Today, we cover three main points: Starting with the end in mind. How clarifying your values and direction helps you live with purpose without trying to control outcomes. Why mistakes matter. How failure, repair, and humility actually strengthen growth for both parents and kids. Keeping the bigger picture in view. How intentional choices, even small ones, help solo parents stay steady when daily life feels overwhelming.
