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!

96 - Single Mom Budgeting on a Limited Income
Living on a limited income can feel defeating. You may think you have so little money coming in a budget won’t work for you.
But the best time to begin a budget is right now! Even with little money bc coming in.
Even with inconsistent income.
Even when you think it will never work.
God calls you to be a good steward with your resources and honors those who manage their money, big or small, wisely.
If you’d like help learning to manage your money, I’d love to work with you and begin building a path to financial freedom for you and your children. Send me an email at Kerri@SingleMomSmiling.com and let’s get started today!
God Bless…
Kerri
