  • What the heck is a Sometimes Solo Mama?
    Sep 10 2025

    Do you care for the kids while your partner travels for work?

    Have you ever called yourself a ‘single-married mom’?

    Do you relate to the loneliness of a military family, but your spouse is not enlisted?

    In this episode, I’m sharing who exactly is a ‘Sometimes Solo Mama’ and why I wanted to start this podcast for you! Your family dynamic is unique and different because you parent alone many nights for days or weeks at a time, but you are married and your partner is not in the military. You sort of relate to ‘single’ moms, and probably have called yourself a “single-married mom” on occasion, yet you’re happily married and doing the home and family caretaking mostly on your own. If this sounds like you, you’re definitely in the right place, so tune in now! Don’t forget to share this episode with a Solo Parent you know and love!

  • Trailer: Sometimes Solo Mama
    Sep 5 2025

    Hey! I'm Kayla and I'm so excited to welcome to the Sometimes Solo Mama Podcast!

    If your spouse travels for work leaving you at home to run the show, take on the default parent role, and juggle all the things, this is the place for you!

    If you've ever felt like your relationship lies somewhere between single parent and military family, I see you.

    Each week, we will talk about the ups and downs of this unique family dynamic and how best to navigate life as a mom and the spouse of a traveling partner. Our focus will be on building and maintaining core relationships, setting your home up with rhythms, routines, and systems to help you thrive, and at the core remind you of the person you are beyond mom and wife so we can explore what lights you up!
