Not Like The Movies

Not Like the Movies This week on Mondays Are a Mother, I’m sharing an update that feels straight out of a rom-com… until it doesn’t. After finally working up the courage to reach out to the mystery man, I got the answer I was hoping for—the feelings were mutual. But as quickly as the butterflies arrived, reality set in. Sometimes mutual feelings aren’t the same thing as a happy ending, and sometimes life reminds us that timing, circumstances, and real-world complications don’t care about the script we wrote in our heads. I’m also opening up about receiving disappointing news regarding the lawsuit and the emotional weight that comes with watching something you’ve invested time, energy, and hope into take an unexpected turn. This episode is about expectations versus reality, learning to sit with uncertainty, and accepting that life isn’t always wrapped up neatly in a two-hour movie ending. Sometimes the win is simply getting the answer, even if it isn’t the answer you thought would change everything. ✨ Tip of the Week “When you’re carrying too much mentally, stop trying to solve every problem at once. Pick one thing you can do today that your future self will thank you for. Progress isn’t made by giant leaps—it’s built through small, consistent steps.” 💛 Monday Momma Mantra “I release what I cannot control, trust what I am building, and give myself permission to grow at my own pace. What’s meant for me won’t pass me by.” Listen here: https://rss.com/podcasts/mondays-are-a-mother/ [https://rss.com/podcasts/mondays-are-a-mother/] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@MondaysAreAMother Instagram:@mondays_are_a_mother Facebook: Mondays Are A Mother #podcast #singlemomstuggle #mondaysareamother #newepisode #podcasts

Can I get over it already?

Episode Title: Can I Get Over It Already? Why do some heartbreaks linger long after the relationship is over? And why do financial struggles seem to carry a weight that follows us everywhere? In this honest and vulnerable episode, we dive into the emotional burden of carrying both financial stress and unresolved grief from a relationship that ended years ago. When bills pile up, dreams feel delayed, and memories resurface unexpectedly, it’s easy to wonder, “Shouldn’t I be over this by now?” Together, we’ll explore the complicated reality of healing—how grief doesn’t always follow a timeline, how financial pressure can amplify emotional wounds, and why letting go isn’t as simple as making a decision. Through personal reflection and candid conversation, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and a reminder that healing is rarely linear. If you’ve ever found yourself mourning a chapter you thought was closed while trying to survive the demands of everyday life, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes moving forward isn’t about forgetting—it’s about learning how to carry the lessons without carrying the weight. Tune in for a raw discussion about heartbreak, financial hardship, self-compassion, and the question so many of us quietly ask ourselves: “Can I get over it already?” 🎙️❤️ Listen here: https://rss.com/podcasts/mondays-are-a-mother/ [https://rss.com/podcasts/mondays-are-a-mother/] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@MondaysAreAMother Instagram:@mondays_are_a_mother Facebook: Mondays Are A Mother #podcast #singlemomstuggle #mondaysareamother #newepisode #podcasts

Feral & Free pt 3 w/Sidney Burlas

Part 3 of Feral & Free with Sidney Burlas brings Sidney to the chapter where everything changed. She takes us inside the custody battle that tested every part of her, while carrying the weight of heartbreak behind closed doors. Sidney also opens up about the impact of Welby’s addiction — how loving someone through that kind of struggle slowly pulled their relationship apart and led to their split. Then came the ice storm of February 26 — a moment of chaos that somehow became the turning point, bringing family back together when it was needed most. Now, Sidney’s story has come full circle. Through Feral Flower Co., her homegrown florals, and her market stand, she’s built something beautiful from everything she survived. After the courtrooms, the heartbreak, and the storms, Sidney isn’t just telling her story anymore — she’s finally living the life she fought for.

She’s carrying Cora, trying to make sense of a complicated relationship with her father, and learning what it means to let someone in after meeting Welby. But behind the scenes, the pressure never lets up. Anonymous text messages begin to appear — relentless, invasive, and impossible to ignore. As the harassment escalates, so does the fight that matters most: the battle for custody of her daughter. In this episode, Sidney shares what it felt like to be building a future while everything around her threatened to pull it apart — a season marked by fear, resilience, and impossible choices. Some chapters don’t break you quietly. They make you fight for everything.
