SoloMoms! Talk

Every now and then I like to record my thoughts instead of writing a blog post.  I hope my message resonates with you. 

How often do you allow your fears or other people to distract you from your goals?  If you are not doing the work you were called to do, your light cannot shine.  You are hiding your light under a bushel. You have buried your talent in the ground. Don’t do it.  Even if you are not where you want to be, let your light shine. Embrace where you are right now.  Use where you are as a launch pad to where you want to be. #doitanway #podcast #singlemom

Today I talk about fear, obstacles, and friends.

- don't let fear stop you

- kick obstacles out of your way

- expect friends/loved ones to become skittish

Do it anyway.

Author, speaker, and mom of two adult daughters, Kelly Radi sat down with me to talk about raising teenagers.  In the first of this Education Series, Radi also reiterates that we should use the college application process as a teachable moment.   

We talked about:

- keeping the line of communications open with our teens and young adults; 

- using the college application process to cement their learning about money & finance; and

- learning to let go when the time is right

Kelly is the author of Out to Sea: A Parents Survival Guide to the Freshman's Voyage and Wonder-Full: Activate Your Inner Superpowers--No Cape Required

Alicia raised two daughters solo during the past 14 years.  She sees getting married very young as a factor in becoming a solo mom. Age seems to be a running theme for a number of divorced solo moms.

What can be done about young people getting married early?  Would marriage education -- and not just a few hours of counseling -- increase the likelihood that more marriages would last?

Whatever our experiences, we can still move on to become strong, confident women, who are whole.

We often are concerned that we have to maintain the negative patterns of our families.  Nothing could be further from the truth. We are not our genetics.  We don't have to become the person we are running away from.

Today’s guest is the solo mom of four, Misty Hughes.  

Misty is the Founder and Director of The Single Mom KC, an organization that is committed to serving Kansas City’s 65,000 single moms who are raising about 135,000 children.

Her work involves breaking the negative thought patterns that we sometimes have in our families. She realizes that we can break those negative patterns of our familial upbringing. That we have "a hope and a future".

Intro song by Damien Ellison. The full song is available on iTunes.

She mothers 5 children solo while working full time, managing a side business, and training for a spartan race. How does she do it? She tries not to get tripped up by the little things (4:10).

"No matter what life throws at you, no matter what stands in the way of whatever goal you set for yourself. You can persevere. You can do it. No matter what, it's in you." ~ Ashley Street (22:54)

Ashley Street has learned that just because she is a solo mom doesn't mean she has to do it alone. For example, listen as she describes her mindset around co-parenting with her ex (5:17).

Optimal health can be an elusive phenomenon for the busy solo mom. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with International speaker and health coach, Gunther Mueller about that.

Gunther spends a lot of his time training medical professionals, but he spends just as much time educating "regular folks" on how to take care of themselves with a more natural approach to true Optimal Health.  

His mission is to help at least 10 million people take charge of their Health Destiny.

If your hormones are out of balance Gunther explains why that is.  He also gave us the top 5 tests you should ask for when you go for your annual physical.
