Are you a busy single mom struggling with overwhelm, direction, and exhaustion? Does it seem like you are always short on time, money, and meaningful friendships? Do you want to be the mom your kids deserve but find yourself distracted or yelling and then regretting it later? Do you want to forgive and start living the life God has planned for you but don’t know how to let go? Are you tired of feeling judged and utterly alone in your parenting? Are you secretly afraid your ex might be right about you after all? Do you wish someone would hold your hand and give you direction when doubts and insecurities pile up? In this podcast you will find simple mindset solutions to free you from fear, negative self-talk, and overwhelm. My mission is to empower you with simple things you can do in the chaos of single parenting to find peace and reignite joy through building relationships, vital routines, and self-care. If you are ready to stop chasing advice from those who mean well but who don’t understand your situation and say yes to changing your mindset and your family’s trajectory, you are in the right place! Hey there my Beloved Single Mama! I’m Kerri. I’m a single mom of five boys, mindset enthusiast, and awe-filled lover of our Lord and all His creation. On Mother’s Day 2009, my husband of 14 years suddenly announced he was leaving for someone he’d reconnected with on social media. He moved out one week later. I was a stay-at-home mom, newly appointed part time youth minister, and PTSO volunteer. I was also five months pregnant with our fifth little boy. I was alone, overwhelmed, confused, terrified, traumatized, devastated, hurt beyond imagining… I understood then what “only the groans of the Holy Spirit will suffice,” means. I realized that no one was coming to save us and that if my boys and I were to survive, we needed a solid plan, grateful hearts, and a whole lot of faith! I went back to school and got my math certification using a pathway that had never been done and that I’d been told could not be done. I got life coaching certification and Dave Ramsey Master Coach certification. I got us out of debt and on the road to freedom from chains that can’t be measured in dollar signs! Most of all, I dug into our Lord, found my purpose, and reignited my love of adventure! And I did it all while raising those five wonderful, messy, fun-loving, much-loved, drive me crazy, couldn’t-imagine-life-without-them boys by myself! If you’re ready to become the mom God is creating you to be…to dig into hope that doesn’t come from a half-eaten bar of chocolate found between the couch cushions, another glass of wine, or endlessly scrolling through online dating sites…if you’re ready to implement simple mindset techniques for noticeable results…if you’re ready to be confident, clear, and courageous in your parenting, finances, relationships, and, most of all, in your view of yourself and God’s work in you – then my Beloved Mama, this podcast is for you! Oh…and if you’re wondering about that fifth little boy? He’s a constant reminder that God’s plans are always better than our own! Jesus I Trust in You – Let’s DO this!!!

94 - Faith in the Fire - Fighting Evil Seen at the Church of the Ascension Tragedy & in Our Own Lives
Shock struck as the news of innocent children gunned down while celebrating their first back-to-school Mass of the 2025-26 school year spread. Anger. Shock. Rumors. What we know as Catholics is that evil is real, and sometimes it rears its ugly head in horrifying ways. In this case, evil was visible and loud, but much sneakier, quieter evil led up to the shooter's actions. Many Catholics want to believe they would be heroes in big tragedies but shy away from confronting sneaky, quiet evil. God does not give us a spirit of fear though! He gives us faith in the fire and strength of martyrs. God gives you the power to face many spiritual battles on your own. At the end of today's episode, I will ask you to pray two powerful prayers - one for the two souls lost so young and one for you to pray a hedge of protection around your own family, home, schools, Churches, and yourself. The war is real, but you have tools! As a coach who has been trained by US Special Forces and spiritual leaders, I want to help you wage war on the enemies holding you back. Send me an email at Kerr@SingleMomSmiling.com to ask about coaching with me. God Bless... Kerri   In Today's Episode: Auxilium Christianorum Prayers for protection of priests driving out demons and for families in protection in spiritual warfare can be found here. Father Chad Ripperger's Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Layity can be found here and on Sensus Traditionis. I used the Binding Prayer from Father Ripperger's book. It can also be found here.  Church of the Ascension - Find out how to donate and more here.
