In this episode of the Huntley Leadership Podcast, Ron Huntley sits down with Maria Spears Mumaugh, co-founder of The Intentional Single, to talk about one of the most common—and least talked about—realities facing women today: the experience of singleness. Drawing from years of coaching, ministry, and personal experience, Maria shares the patterns she sees across thousands of women navigating the “space between” where they are and where they hope to be. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and addresses the deeper questions of identity, healing, and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why so many single women feel stuck, forgotten, or behind
• The biggest lies women believe about singleness
• Why “just pray more” isn’t enough
• How to move from waiting → living intentionally
• The role of identity and healing in relationships
