It's the most wonderful time of the year, and also the most stressful, and for some... the most lonely. If you are feeling any of these three emotions during the holiday season, you are not alone.

In this episode, we discuss the difficult things that go on, as a single parent, during the holidays... From parent swaps, Christmas traditions, and the loneliness that sometimes creeps in.

We hope that this will make your day a little brighter, and your holiday season a little more cheerful!

Do you ever feel like you are teetering on the cusp of going from failing at something to complete and utter failure? Do you struggle to know how to get back up after something knocks you down? We have all been there, and honestly I tend to be there more often than I care to admit.

On this episode I let vulnerability take over as I share how I recently made a bad choice, which lead to me feeling like a failure, and how I was able to over come the feeling.

In this episode we meet Alexis, who is a single mom to four wonderful boys. What was supposed to be a normal child swap turned into one of her worst nightmares, when she discovered Sean, the father of her oldest two boys, passed away unexpectedly.

She will discuss the events of that day. From the decision to drive over to Sean's house to the 911 call that involved Alexis, the Open Your Ears Podcast host, and another close friend of the family, and how she had to deliver news that no parent should ever have to tell their children.

From her boys last memory, the 911 call, and the days following, Alexis gives God all the praise and explains how she knew God's hand was in it all.

If you or anyone you know has ever been through anything like this and would like to reach out to Alexis, please contact us and we will put you in contact with her. She is such an inspiration and we are incredibly lucky to know her, to love her, and to cheer her on as she shares her story to change lives.

*This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Sean Keener. You left an incredible legacy behind, and your boys are so lucky to have had you.
