  • 35 - Tips for Celebrating Christmas as a Single Mom

    Christmas can be tough on single moms. That is true whether you are trying to cram all the joy of the season into one day or even week or you are sitting alone, feeling forgotten, dejected, and missing your children on the holidays.

    In today's episode, single mom coach, Kerri Bishop gives tips on making the most of Christmas no matter what your circumstances.

    She also asks one important question based on the words of Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, as she greets the pregnant Virgin Mary. How you answer this question has the power to reframe your Christmas thinking.

     

    God Bless...

    • 34 - Love for a Single Mom on Christmas - 4th Sunday of Advent

      The 4th Sunday of Advent is all about love, but it can be difficult for a single mom to feel loved when she has been so beaten down. It can be worse when you have been told you were never loved or that you were unlovable, but these are lies from the devil.

      Want to know the truth? In this episode, we reframe the lies surrounding how loved you are and begin to ask what if everything that happens to you is actually happening because you are Loved?

      What if there is a new kind of love awaiting you? 

      God Bless...

      • 33 - What to do When You Have No Joy this Holiday Season

        The 3rd Sunday of Advent is meant to celebrate Joy, but what happens when you can't find any joy to celebrate? 

        There have been holiday seasons I wasn't sure I could survive. In one particularly hard year, I fell to the bathroom floor and sobbed. I didn't want to go on. 

        And yet...there in the dark, there was reason to find Joy! 

        Join me today as we discuss a very difficult topic too many people encounter in the holiday season. 

        God Bless...

          Do you wonder what the Immaculate Conception is or what God planned for Mary? Maybe you question whether you have purpose in the role you play or wonder what kind of impact you can have? 

          When you're tired, rundown, and stressed this holiday season, My Mary provides a good example of tirelessly running after children.

                • 28 - Gratitude & Lessons Veterans Taught Me About Single Parenting

                  Life can be rough and unfair. Few know that better than America's Veterans. That's part of what makes the wisdom they share so valuable. 

                  In today's episode, you will learn some of what Green Berets, Navy SEALS, and others taught me about mindset and motivation.

                  No matter how hard life's curveballs are, lessons from America's heroes will help you, not just survive, but thrive, grow, and learn to laugh richly along the way.

                  If you'd like help developing a positive mindset and moving past motivation or you have a favorite story you'd like to share, reach out at [email protected]
