You’ve probably heard all of the advice from personal development gurus who preach about waking up early and following a strict morning routine that will set the tone for a successful day. 

While this isn’t wrong, it is incomplete advice. There is no denying that starting your day with intention creates better outcomes during your day. This is so important. 

However, this advice only works for a subset of the population. There are certain people who are designed to thrive under this type of rigid routine. Many people do not because they are not designed to thrive in that way. 

Instead of having a rigid routine, think of your morning book end as beginning your day with intention. Instead of repeating the same things day in and day out, have an entire toolbox of things you can pull out based on what feels aligned for you on that day.

Key Takeaways:

-Why routine works for some people and not for others

-Reframing routines into intentional activities aka book ends

-The importance of choosing things that light you up in your own unique way

-Following through on your commitments to yourself

In this episode, I share the emotional experience I had leading up to my son's 17th birthday a few weeks ago. It was as if the past 17 years of our lives together flashed before my eyes. 

In this moment, I had an epiphany. I realized that even though I am focused on creating my dream life and constantly bringing things to the next level for him and I, the days and years are passing quickly. At the end of the day, what matters most is being present and loving.

This episode serves as a nugget of insight for all ambitious single moms who are focused on those goals to also slow down and be present. For the days are long but the years are short.

You are rocking being a single mom, yet some days, you feel like you are failing. You feel like you are behind.

You feel like you are not enough and that you just can’t do it all. You have such a great vision for the future but you can’t see a path to make it work. Some days you are on fire, but other days, you struggle to make it through the day before your head hits the sheets at night. 

You crave rest and relaxation but you feel like you have to keep going or else you’ll fall even further behind. 
Does this sound familiar? As single moms, we definitely experience a wide array of emotions and energy levels. 

First, stop and acknowledge the fact that you are doing the job of two people solo. Forgive yourself for any imperfections you’ve had on your journey. Give yourself grace. Appreciate all that you do on a day to day basis to create the best life possible for yourself and your child(ren) – even if it isn’t perfect (lets face it, no one’s life is perfect regardless of the parental circumstances). 

Next, I want you to really absorb what I’m going to share with you. When you are feeling busy, overwhelmed and stressed out, you need to stop everything you’re doing and find stillness.

Practicing being in stillness every day will do more for your well-being, your energy output and the results you create in your life than anything else. 

Key Takeaways:

-What is stillness

-How you will benefit from practicing stillness

-Ways to incorporate stillness into your life effortlessly and easily

You feel like you’re doing all the right things to get ahead but at the end of the day, it feels like you’re spinning on a never ending wheel. You’re always in motion but don’t seem to be going anywhere. 

It begs the question, “Is it possible for me to create a life of abundance as a single mom?”

If this resonates with you, then you’ll want to stick around for today’s episode. Today, we are diving into the question of whether single moms can really create and live life abundantly. 

It can feel like abundance is out of reach for you. You’re juggling the world in your arms between your child(ren), financially supporting your family, spending time with your family and practicing self-care or finding time for yourself. 

You might have accepted that this is the way it has to be. You might feel like you’re often paralyzed in a state of stress, worry, overwhelm and hopelessness. 

You might feel like there will never be enough of the things you need to do your job as a single mom. In this episode, we are going to bust through that belief.

Key Takeaways:

-Abundance is available and accessible to you at all times

-How abundance is a mindset and why it's your birthright 

-Ways to tap into abundance regardless of your external circumstances

As a single mom, it seems there is always something coming out of left field to throw a wrench in the day. Becoming immersed in overwhelm, stress, worry & scarcity based thinking can often be the results. 

When we are constantly in a state of reaction, we don’t stop to observe the patterns in our moods, thoughts and actions.

Left unchecked, this can lead to months, years or even decades of repeated cycles of behavior that ultimately, don’t produce the desired results in life. It can leave you scratching your head and wondering where the years have gone.

In this episode, I am share with you seven of the most effective mindfulness practices that I’ve incorporated into my life over the past 5 years. My hope is that no matter where you are on your journey as a single mom, you can curate a more blissful, fulfilled and intentional experience.

Not only for yourself, but your child(ren) as well. Your state of being will influence your child(ren)’s mindset, actions and outcomes for years to come.

Have you ever heard the quote, “You must believe it in order to see it”? 

The idea here is that so often, we focus on external results without doing the inner work first. Then, if we do see external progress, we still feel the overwhelm, burnout, mom guilt, worry and scarcity based thinking. 

When you focus on the internal work first, the external results will follow. 

What’s the point of this?

The point is that it’s the habits you cultivate and practice regularly that will drive you to be a high achieving solo mom. 

I encourage you to embrace & embody the connection between personal development, high achievement and creating the best life for yourself and your child(ren). 

I believe that every single mom has the ability to be a high achiever in her own way. It doesn’t matter how old you are right now, what has happened in your past or how many times you might have failed. 

You are worthy. 

Tune in to discover what the 9 habits are to practice to set you in motion.
