They work their tails off to provide and parent and hopefully raise good humans. These women (and men) who parent by themselves deserves their own holiday, but since I can’t give them that I decided to give them their own episode! In today’s show I interview Gail Showalter who has a ministry to single moms and helps them get through college, get back on their feet to provide for their family and also encourages them in so many practical and emotional ways. This episode is a new favorite so you don’t want to miss it! ——————————————————

MORE ABOUT GAIL: In southeast Texas I’m known as the “Old Bird with Feathers of Wisdom for Women and a Soft Spot for Single Moms.” That is because I’ve worked with single mothers since 2007. During my time working with individual moms I came to realize that the moms who had a skill or a degree managed much better than the ones who didn't. I am eager to share my knowledge acquired in the school of hard knocks as well as from years of study. As a professional I have worked in many areas in the business world and the world of education. I taught high school and later I taught Braille to children with visual impairments. I even taught on the college level for a few semesters. My formal education includes a B.A. in Speech, Art and Education, and a Master’s Degree from The University of Texas in Curriculum and Instruction. In 2007 I established a nonprofit called SMORE for Women especially for single mothers. SMORE is an acronym for Single Moms :: Overjoyed, Rejuvenated and Empowered. I am married to Sam, and we each have three grown children and fifteen grandchildren and two adorable miniature poodles. I use stories to illustrate the points I teach. I believe that we can learn life lessons when we look at the lives of others. My own stories have been published in books and national magazines. You may visit my web sites to learn more about my work. It is one of my greatest pleasures to share my knowledge with others.
