’How to Trust Yourself as you Navigate Single Parenting’ -- Unplanned Mom School Episode 021 with Paige Thome and Ashley Simmons

Paige was twenty-three and not in a serious relationship when she learned that she was pregnant. She longed to create a family and was determined not to be a single mom. In the process, she lost herself trying to make something work that simply wasn’t meant to be.

If you aren’t currently planning, honoring, and committing to your time, you need to listen in this week.

Paige talks through her 1% shifts and how she came out better and stronger after navigating her unplanned pregnancy. We all have 24 hours each day, 24 of the most precious, irreplaceable diamonds. So what are you going to do with yours?

If you’re overwhelmed, embarrassed, and confused about navigating your own unplanned situation, then this conversation is one you won’t want to miss. Paige talks about her shame, anxiety, and depression as she was forced to embrace single parenthood.

She comes from a large Catholic family of nine children – and wasn’t married when she was found out she was pregnant.

So the secrecy and confusion about her pregnancy left her feeling alone. In fact, she didn’t even tell everyone that she was pregnant until she was about six months along.

As you listen to her, you feel the emotions, her determination, and resilience of how she mastered her mindset. She shed the dream of being a family and embarking on one of the most powerful healing journeys of self-care.

Like all of our guests, Paige shares from a place of truth. We hope her story inspires you to rise up and take care of yourself.

Don’t miss it. And be sure to follow Paige on Tike Tok!

Paige is a speaker and women's group facilitator in her home state of Michigan.
