Me, Myself, and Why

Hi, I’m Bre. I’m a single mom to a wonderful little boy. I was so nervous to become a single mom, because I didn’t see a community built anywhere. I tried to surround myself with mom’s in different situations and it just didn’t make me feel seen. I finally realized that I need to build a community of single moms in person and online to help bear the burden. I created this podcast to share my heart, struggles, and stories with you. This is a safe place for you to listen, cry, and laugh with me.

    Why Is It So Hard To Be Present?

    Have you ever felt like someone is not being present with you in the moment? They might be there in person, but their brain is elsewhere? I'm sure you've felt that in your life, and our kids feel that with us as well. In this episode, Breana takes us on her own journey of busy-ness and what went through her head. She tells us about the ways she has practically applied being present in her own life and encourages you to put these into practice as well.

    Why Do We Reflect Before the End of Year?

    Ah yes, a new year, a new you, right? Well, maybe. In this episode, Breana explores a different way to look at your year. What a beautiful opportunity to reflect on everything that has happened and review how we want to move forward.

    Why Do We Compare?

    Comparison is so easy to do in our every day lives. Social media is at the tips of our fingers and it feels like we are constantly told we are not doing something to be a good mom. In this episode, we talk about how comparison destroys our mindset along with our actions.

    Why is mom guilt a thing?

    In this episode, we talk about mom guilt and how it takes form in our lives. Mom guilt is something that every mother has experienced at one time or another. It's the inner monologue that tells you you should be doing more in one thing or another. But is it productive? Is it helpful? Does it push us to love our kids better?

    Why do you need to just show up?

    For most of my life, I struggled with performance. The feeling that I needed to show up and be able to help - a piece of advice, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear. Something. Anything, really. But in the last few years, I've learned that it's okay to just show up. It was shockingly harder than it sounds. In this episode, I take you through that journey and what it looks like to us to just show up.

  6. 14

    Why be you?

    This episode is full of life lessons that Breana learned about what it means to show up as authentically who you are - not who you think everyone wants you to be or who you think people need. The importance of showing up as YOU makes the impact. It's encouraging, challenging, and a beautiful testimony of the intentionality it takes to show up because you know people want you.

    Why Do You Need To Ask?

    Breana tackles the reality of asking questions. It's not really about asking for help, it's the general ask. She shares stories of her own struggles with asking. And the benefit of asking questions of your friends, fellow parents, and other random instances where asking a question may seem silly, but can be really helpful.

    Why Does Rest Matter?

    Rest is always a topic of conversation in the Christian world. It's talked about from the pulpit, because it's prominent throughout the Bible. In this episode, Breana talks about some of the misconceptions about rest, why it matters, and, more importantly, redefining the word in a way that makes it attainable in our every day lives as single moms.

    Why Do Things I Love?

    In this episode, Breana explains what she loved before having kids. She tells an honest story about the hardship of doing things you love with your kids. As a mom, it's so easy to ignore what we like to ensure our children are happy. But what would it look like to share the things we love with our kids. Do you need some encouragement to keep doing things that you are passionate about? Then this is the episode for you :)

    Why Give Him A Voice?

    There are plenty of opportunities in life to give our kids the ability to speak - use their voice. But often times, when we, as parents, don't know how to give them the space to use their voice, we unintentionally shut them down. In this episode, we are transported back in time to almost a year ago, when Breana was processing through what it would be like to have her son ask about his father.

    Why Do We Trust God With Our Story?

    As single moms, it’s easy to wonder if our story will ever look the way we hoped. In this episode, I open up about the tension between longing for partnership and trusting God with the timing and details. We’ll talk about the ache of wanting a husband and father figure who will love our children as their own, and the hope that comes from believing God writes better endings than we could ever imagine. This is about surrender, faith, and holding on to the truth that our worth isn’t defined by what we lack, but by who we are in Christ.

    Why Do We Need Married Friends? - Part 2

    In this episode, Breana opens up about her journey from singleness to single motherhood, sharing the raw emotions, lessons, and perspective shifts along the way. She reflects on what it’s been like to navigate friendships with those who are married while carving out her own unique path. Building on Part 1, this conversation goes deeper into the realities of long-term singleness, the unexpected turns that led her here, and the strength that comes from embracing her story.

    Why Do We Need Married Friends? - Part 1

    In this episode, Breana talks about her journey with taking on responsibilities that are not her own, how she takes those off of her shoulders, and the mental load of being a single mother. This is the first part of a two part series, where she discusses the need for married friends - the struggles and the joys.

  14. 6

    Why do you need to know your identity?

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into the foundation of our identity—not as single moms, not by our past, not by what others have said, but by who God says we are. When the world tries to define us by our relationship status, mistakes, or circumstances, we go back to the Word to find the truth. You’ll be reminded that you are chosen, loved, redeemed, and never alone. This is the encouragement your heart needs to stand tall in every season of motherhood.

  15. 5

    Why do I need to belong to myself?

    This podcast is for single moms who are tired of trying to "fit in" and are ready to truly belong—to themselves, their story, and the life they're building. Inspired by the work of Brené Brown, we’ll talk about what it means to stand alone without feeling lonely, how to parent with authenticity, and why vulnerability is the bravest thing we can offer our children—and ourselves. If you’ve ever felt like you're too much or not enough, this space is for you. Because true belonging doesn’t come from changing who you are. It comes from coming home to yourself.

    Why is it important to do the soul work?

    In this episode, we dive into why doing the soul work is essential for single moms navigating life, motherhood, and healing. We’ll talk about how inner growth leads to outer peace, the power of self-awareness, and what it means to show up whole for yourself and your children.

  18. 2

    Why do you need to say the thing?

    As a human, it's hard to admit something we've held as part of our identity for so long. In this episode, we explore what the thing is that you may need to say out loud to release you from being that. Breana shares what she has held onto her whole life and thought it was one of the critical pieces of her identity. But she realized the power in admitting that she is not that anymore.
