Beyond Survival Mode: How To Thrive As A BLK Single Parent

Have you ever felt like life was stretching you to your limits, asking you to carry more than you thought possible? In this deeply personal and revealing episode, I open up about a powerful chapter in my life—navigating single parenthood through extreme adversity. While it wasn’t the most painful experience I’ve endured, it was one of the most defining. What began as a struggle to stay afloat became a journey of transformation, guided by a metaphysical framework that helped me rise stronger, clearer, and more aligned than ever before.

Being a single parent is a test of endurance, patience, and love. But being a single parent in the middle of a toxic co-parenting dynamic, entangled with court systems and child protective services, felt like a spiritual boot camp. Through this fire, I uncovered a powerful metaphysical framework that helped me not only care for my son but rise into a new version of myself—stronger, clearer, and deeply aligned with my divine purpose.

The Spiritual Side of the Storm

Many people think of spiritual growth as meditation and crystals, but let me be real with you—sometimes your spiritual evolution looks like you crying in your car after a court hearing, wiping your face, and still showing up for your child with love. It looks like advocating for yourself when the world seems to doubt your capacity. It’s not glamorous, but it’s transformative.

In this episode, I share how my experience with a harmful co-parenting relationship became the training ground for developing unwavering boundaries, intuitive clarity, and the kind of resilience that can only come from walking through fire. What felt like a breakdown was actually a breakthrough—a path back to my truest self.

Turning Pain into Power

When CPS showed up at my door, when I had to fight to prove that I was a “suitable” parent, I was forced to confront not only external judgment but internal doubts. I had to decide: would I collapse under the weight, or would I transmute the pain into power? I chose the latter. And what I learned is that adversity—when approached with metaphysical awareness—becomes an invitation to rise.

I explore how adversity catalyzes sovereignty. It teaches you to stop outsourcing your worth, to stop waiting for others to validate your story. You start to anchor into your truth, your intuition, your spiritual guidance. And when you do, something incredible happens: life begins to reorganize itself around your aligned energy.

Redefining Loneliness: A Portal to Clarity

One of the hardest parts of this journey was the loneliness. And I’m not talking about being alone. I mean the bone-deep solitude that comes when you feel misunderstood, unsupported, or even betrayed by the people you thought would be there for you.

But here’s the truth: feeling lonely doesn’t mean you’re weak—it just means you’re human.

I reveal how these seasons of isolation actually became sacred portals of alignment for me. When I stopped trying to fill the silence and started listening to it, I heard my soul. I began to understand that chaos isn’t always a punishment—it’s often a precursor to growth. Old patterns dissolve. New consciousness emerges.

Tools That Kept Me Grounded

I also get practical in this episode and share some of the exact metaphysical tools I used to stay grounded during the most turbulent times:

  • Stillness and Trust – I learned that sometimes, the most powerful move is no move at all. When the world felt like it was spinning, I grounded myself in breath, presence, and the quiet trust that Spirit was holding me.
  • Affirmation as Ritual – I describe how I turned my affirmations into beautiful spells, daily declarations that realigned my energy with strength, sovereignty, and self-love. Words hold power. And I used them intentionally to rewrite my narrative.

Building a Chosen Family

One of the greatest transformations that emerged from my journey was redefining what family means. Yes, blood may make you related—but it’s loyalty that makes you family.

I break down the revolutionary mindset shift that allowed me to build a powerful, supportive ecosystem from scratch. I called in people who didn’t share my DNA but shared my values. People who showed up consistently, loved my son deeply, and held me in my truth without judgment.

This wasn’t by accident—it was by intention. I share how I set spiritual intentions for support, how I visualized the kind of community I desired, and how I cleared space for them to enter by releasing toxic connections.

You’ll learn:

  • How to call in your support team with clarity and energetic precision
  • Why you must heal your relationship with receiving—especially if you’re used to doing everything alone
  • The powerful truth that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom

The Boundary Revolution

Boundaries became my lifeline. And I don’t just mean telling people no—I mean embodying a whole new frequency that repelled chaos and welcomed peace. One of the most powerful shifts was learning that saying “no” to my child in the moment wasn’t a rejection—it was an investment in their future emotional health.

I share how conscious communication transformed our family dynamics and how I used spiritual principles to parent with clarity, compassion, and firmness.

Holding the Vision While Doing the Work

Lastly, I speak directly to those of you who are raising children while building your dreams. I know what it feels like to clock out of a job, go pick up your child, make dinner, do bedtime routines, then stay up late working on your business while exhausted to the bone.

But I’m here to tell you—it’s possible. Not easy, but possible.

In this episode, I share:

  • The daily spiritual practices that kept me aligned
  • How I organized my time and energy when it felt like I had nothing left
  • The mindset shift that turned survival into sacred service

This episode is an offering to anyone who’s felt like they were drowning. It’s a reminder that you are not broken—you are being broken open. Your pain has purpose. Your story is sacred. And with the right spiritual tools and support, you can rise.
