Earth Tones is a soulful podcast rooted in four pillars: survival, passion, service, and love. Born from personal experience, spiritual devotion, and huge heart for humanity, this show explores the sacred intersections of faith, culture, healing, empowerment, and human connection.
Through raw storytelling, spiritual reflection, and conversations that matter, host Ella- a single mama, creative, solo traveler, and once, non profit founder- invites you into the journeying that shapes each of us. From her time working with refugees in Syria and Afghanistan to the quiet revelations that come through motherhood, each episode offers perspective, purpose, and permission to keep growing.
Whether you’re rebuilding, reimagining, or reaching for more- this space is for you. For the ones yearning for closer connections to each other or to God. Earth Tones is a return to what is real- a rhythm, a remembering, a quiet rebellion against a world that tells you to stay surface- level. Here, we go deeper.

Episode 38: Let’s Talk About It, Why I’m Still Single
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode came from a really simple but honest realization I had recently…
I’m not single.
I’m ALIIIVE!
The word “single” has been carrying a lot of weight that doesn’t actually belong to it.
For some people, it means something is missing.
It turns into questions like:
Why are you single?
Why aren’t you married?
What’s wrong?
And then on the other side, it swings into this hyper-independent, anti-love energy.. I don’t fully resonate with either.
I wanted to sit down and talk through what this season has actually looked like for me.
After almost 7 years of being a single mom, I’ve had time to really observe life- my own patterns, relationships around me, and what actually creates stability… especially when kids are involved.
This episode is about:
- redefining what “single” actually means
- the pressure women feel to explain their relationship status
- why I stopped saying I’m single… and started saying I’m alive
- what it means to build a life that already feels full
- how time gives you clarity in what you actually need in a partner
- my ideal man “list” (to God)
- and why I’m willing to wait for alignment instead of settling for “decent”
I also share some perspective around:
- single-parent households in the U.S.
- how common this actually is
- and why bringing someone into your life (and your kids’ life) isn’t something I take lightly
This isn’t about being anti-love, I do want love. I do want marriage. I would love to have more children.
But I’m not living from a place where something is missing while I wait for that. 🫶🏼
