Description

Being a single parent creates unique challenges and struggles that are invisible to most people. So how do you walk through life as a single parent, especially if the relationship with the former spouse is strained?
 
We are so blessed to welcome Singer/ Songwriter Andra Moran to this episode of the Music for the Soul Podcast. Andra shares her story of walking through a difficult divorce while performing as a singer across the country and how she used music as a catalyst to help her walk through the emotional and physical struggles of raising a child as a single mom. From there, she collaborated with us on the song, I Only Need One, which aims to encourage single parents in their walk to raise their children.
 
Andra also shares her love for creating and performing music and how God often uses us in situations where we feel the least prepared to create the greatest impact in others' lives. If you or someone you know is struggling with the journey of being a single parent, we highly encourage you to listen to this episode!
