Single Momcast

Life has a way of making us forget what we know is true.

In this episode, Mel and Pam sit down for a different kind of conversation, one that isn’t about fixing, striving, or adding more to your plate. It’s about slowing down long enough to come back to the truths we’ve had to hold onto again and again in our own lives.

We talk about the tension of knowing something is true but struggling to believe it when life feels heavy. The quiet lies we slip into during hard seasons. The moments that remind us we’re actually doing better than we think. And what it looks like to hold onto truth even when nothing around us has changed yet.

If you’re a single mom feeling tired, discouraged, or questioning if you’re enough, this episode is for you. Think of it as a reset. A deep breath. A reminder.

In case you forgot… you’re doing better than you think.

In this raw and powerful episode, we sit down with a Tracy Zserdin who has walked a road few can imagine—raising her son through years of behavioral challenges, emotional hardship, and ultimately, his incarceration. Speaking candidly to single moms, Tracy shares with Pam Kanaly & Mel Hiett about what it was like to face the reality that love alone couldn't “fix” her child’s struggles, and how she discovered strength she didn’t know she had. We explore the limits of parenting instincts, the role of faith in holding steady during chaos, and what it means to keep loving—even when your child is behind bars. Whether you're in the thick of parenting challenges or simply looking for a story of resilience and real motherhood, single mom, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Pam Kanaly and Mel Hiett sit down with guest Valerie Morgeson to talk about her personal journey navigating mold toxicity and the health symptoms that slowly began to change her daily life.

Valerie shares what it felt like when her body first started signaling something was wrong, how easily those signs were dismissed as stress or exhaustion, and what it was like trying to keep going while raising kids and managing life on her own.

The conversation breaks down what mold toxicity can actually look like in real life, the symptoms that are often overlooked, and the first steps someone can take if they begin to suspect mold exposure.

If you are a single mom feeling exhausted, dismissed, or unsure of what your body is trying to tell you, this episode is a reminder to trust what you’re noticing, keep asking questions, and know you are not alone in the process of finding answers.
