Are you a solo parent feeling overwhelmed by the college application process? As a former solo parent who navigated this journey myself, I understand how overwhelming it can feel. That's why I created a clear roadmap to compelling college and scholarship applications that reduces stress and saves you time and money, so you can confidently guide your child to a bright future. One student told me, "Your insights and feedback were truly invaluable...Now I am going to a highly competitive college free...and they're paying me to go." Ready for a lower-stress college launch?

Video on YouTube

Today’s show was live via YouTube on Tuesday morning (6am EST weekly). It was on the topic of “3 Practices to Heal Your Broken Heart”. This is episode 16 of season for on Plant Your Seeds of Transformation. Coach Donna Marie gives you, as a family caregiver, insight and information to help you understand how grief is caused by the perception that your prayers have not been answered. She listed 3 daily practices you can start using to bring healing to your broken heart and to enhance your faith.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.


~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

Take Aways and Notes:

  • Caregivers are leaders who also have goals and dreams, like everyone else, but they may be delayed by trauma and even further delayed by the grief that follows the trauma
  • Caregivers are told to take care of themselves, but many times are not properly supported in taking better care of themselves.
  • In this episode, I talk more about the God aspect of caregivers being cared for with 3 daily practices you can use to heal your broken heart after unanswered prayers. Write (or record) a daily journal entry for each of these three:
    • Joy
    • Prayer
    • Gratefulness
  • Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
  • Taking action with these three daily practices is an act of faith. It’s a way to put action to the faith that is overflowing from within your heart.
