Healing Single Mothers
Reclaiming the Sacredness of Motherhood
Book Coming Soon
My first book dedicated to reclaiming the sacredness of motherhood.
As you read this book, know that this is a walk in my shoes. Maybe our paths weren’t exactly the same. Perhaps you know nothing of life that exists like this. Either way this book is medicine. I was able to transform my pain into love.
My darkest moments of life prepared me to be a shepherd for others who were also hurting.
I never imagined that motherhood would be a stain on my existence.
A book about
My journey into motherhood, and how I was able to heal from the trauma and release the stigma and shame of single motherhood.
It took me a long time before I the word mother, or motherhood didn’t elicit a negative response for me. Becoming a young mother was not my goal or my plan.
I wanted to be a sports physician or kinesiologist and travel all over helping athletes heal and perform at their best. Life on the other hand had something else in store for me. I gave birth to my daughter Kaylah at the age of 20. This was my first experience with Motherhood.
I wish I could tell you about all the love and support I received, but I can’t. I didn’t even have a baby shower, but what I was showered with was shame, guilt, and judgment.
Peace Mama, I'm Jovhannah Tisdale.
Also known as The Spiritual Love Healer. I'm the Sacred Mother of two girls ages 20 & 8. I became a young mother at 20 years old and, let's just say being a mother was less than ideal. I experienced domestic violence at the hands of my partner at the time, leaving me broken in so many ways.
Healing from that relationship helped me to align with my spiritual path and it became my mission to help other women heal, grow, and thrive from the pain and trauma of their past. I help women live Abundantly Ever After.
In addition to being a Mother and Author, I host the Abundantly Ever After Show and am the owner of Spiritual Love Sanctuary a spiritual healing and wellness spa in Raleigh NC, providing massage, energy healing, and more!
Currently I'm working on finishing Healing Single Mothers and creating a community as a safe space for single mothers all over to connect and grow together!

Chapter 03
You disgust me and yet I also feel a tiny bit sorry for you at the same time.
To see yourself outside of yourself and to recoil, to run and hide. To abandon the very essence of yourself has to come from the deepest depths of pain that my heart cannot even fathom.
There is a mini you, that carries your eyes, the tone of your skin, the texture of your hair, and even shares your personality, likes and dislikes and you walk this earth as if they do not exist.
How much hatred do you have for yourself?
Part of me wishes that I could help you. Somehow that I could show you the pathway to healing, but I did that.
I tried that with you and it damn near killed me.
Another part of me wants to pulverize you. Extinguishing your very existence so you feel exactly what we feel, but that’s not like me.
No longer do I have the energy to care about you or your problems. I know they exist, but you don’t. Until you acknowledge and tend to the wounded little boy that has control over your heart, mind and actions your life will continue to be a source of chaos and pain.
I too carry pain and trauma, yet I was strong enough to face it on a daily basis and show up for the life that WE created together. You walk around calling yourself a man. Saying that you are a king, but a KING protects his kingdom. You cannot be a man if you do not honor your very own children.
You can dress yourself up in the most fashionable clothes. You can drive the most expensive new cars and you will be nothing more than a little boy playing dress up.
Who hurt you? Was it Mommy? Daddy? Or was it both? Did you experience the trauma of life like we all did and it broke you?
How the hell do you start a family and walk the fuck away? I use to be mad. Fuming fucking mad until I realized that you being out our lives was a blessing.

Chapter 01
Happily Ever After. That is the messaging that we receive from many fairy tales. That everything will be alright. Someone will come along and save the day. That there will be a price or knight in shining armor that will protect us from the cold mean world.
For many girls like myself the cold mean world was at home, and outside of the home. Modern Psychology recently wrote an apology for they way they used racism within their industry, along with the AMA, APA and another of these leading organizations that sets the standard for medical care in this country.

In my own words...
Healing Single Mothers has to be one of the hardest things I've ever written.
Imagine this, as I'm pouring my heart out on the pages, with tears streaming down my face as I recount some of the most painful aspects of my life. Only for them to disappear. Over 10,000 words gone. Not a trace to be found.
Truthfully, I wanted to scrap this entire project and focus on writing something else, but I didn’t. I couldn’t give up. I knew this book needed to be birthed through me.I spent hours searching for what I wrote and they were just gone. Start again. I heard whisper in my ear. I pondered how in the hell I could ever obtain that fresh, raw straight from the heart pain into these pages again.
It reminded me of all the losses that I face in my life. Losing my child. Losing my art studio. The times I put my trust in others and was betrayed. What did I do in those cases? I picked myself up and walked away. I allowed myself to heal, tending to my wounds and I kept going, because life is about Positive Forward Movement. That is the mantra that helped me reclaim myself, my sanity, and my life. Ultimately, I decided I would continue working on this book, but it was hard. I didn’t know how to recount the details I previously shared and it felt like the passion and zest I had for Healing Single Mothers was lost, but I kept writing.
So as you read this book, Healing Single Mothers, know that this is a walk in my shoes. Maybe our paths weren’t exactly the same. Perhaps you know nothing of life that exists like this. Either way this book is medicine. I was able to transform my pain into love. My darkest moments of life prepared me to be a shepherd for others who were also hurting.
