If you do what you've always done, you're gonna get what you've always gotten... . . There is this point that many of us reach in our lives where we realize that we are living the same year over and over again. . We realize that somewhere in all the parenting and moming we lost a bit of ourselves somewhere. . We may even find that our lives feel completely unmanageable or out of our control. . We realize that we are not happy and the things we thought would make us happy didn't. The people we thought would make us happy didn't. . At some point we have to make a change in order to save ourselves and bring ourselves back to who we were before. To realize that the keys to our happiness are not going to come from an external source. . New episode....you should check it out. . #thissinglemomrocks #thesinglemomblog #singlemompodcast #singlemom #parenting #momlife #mompreneur #power #momblog #momsofinstagram #wellness #selfcare #selflove #innerpeace #happiness #keytohappiness

Are you comparing yourself to others? Feeling down on yourself because you think you aren't as perfect a parent as that Instamom who always looks like she has it together? . Are you shaming yourself because you don't have the perfect body that you see in the magazines? . **cough** Photoshop **cough** . I have been guilty of it myself! And I realized that I was setting an awful example for my daughter. Who ALREADY has so much more social pressure than I ever did. She has seen me talk poorly about myself many times. . So why wouldn't I expect when I tell her how beautiful she is her response is "No I'm not". Society, the media and even us as parents...our children are slapped in the face regularly with illusions of perfection. . I'm over it. I will no longer waste the energy comparing myself to anyone. . . If you want to hear more on this head to the podcast, link in bio.
A little bit can go a long way. Small changes can lead to lasting progress! . If every day to do a little bit better, make a little progress you will be amazed at how it adds up. . . . . . #thesinglemomblog #singlemompodcast #singlemom #thissinglemomrocks #momblog #momlife #mompreneur #selfcare #progressnotperfection #smallsteps #inspirational
Perfect is 𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚! Sometimes we wish that we had a perfect life. Perfect house that looked like the magazines or the Instagram family that is all pretty and well kept. ⁣ . ⁣ My life NEVER looks like that. My life is a beautiful mess and I wouldn't have it any other way. You know why? Because perfection is the opposite of happiness. There is a battle between perfection and happiness - you can't have both. ⁣ .⁣ People who strive for perfection are rarely happy because they are not satisfied with how things are or what they have. If it isn't perfect they aren't happy. But guess what? NOTHING is ever perfect. It can't be. ⁣ .⁣ Head on over to the podcast and check out the episode "The Battle Between Perfection and Happiness" ⁣ Tap the link in my bio for more info -> @singlemomblogger
Success is a series of small wins! Sometimes we can feel like our goals are too big for us to actually accomplish. But if we break things down into smaller more attainable wins you can make some serious progress!⁣ .⁣ In one of the recent episodes of the Single Mom Podcast I talk about how small changes can produce lasting results!

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: There is a certain power that comes with being single. Most of us have been brought up thinking that if we need to have a husband, 2.5 kids and a house with a white picket fence to be happy. We have been sold a story - but what if that isn't OUR story? . So many women beat themselves up because they feel like they SHOULD have a significant other and if they don't it effects their self worth. What a bunch of crap! . Being single for an extended period of time is not something that you should necessarily be sad about. I think that we all should spend a certain amount of time single! That time gives you so much power. - figuring out who you are and what you want without someone else imposing their ideas or opinions into it - realizing that you ARE ok on your own and can totally make it without a significant other - finding happiness on your own means that nobody can take it away from you All of this helps you become a solid individual on your own so that when you DO find someone you know that they are a part of your life because you WANT them there, not because you NEED them there. Link in bio for the podcast - go take a listen!
Today has been full of challenges and frustration. There was a time when a day like today would have sent me right over the damn edge... . But I have made a lot of progress over the years and have learned not to let the little things get to me. To BREATHE when stress tries to take over. AND to remember that perfection is the enemy of happiness. . Some days you have to embrace the mess and remember that it is all going to be fine! #thissinglemomrocks #thesinglemomblog #singlemompodcast #wellness #selfcare #singlemom #parenting #momlife #mompreneur #workingmom #workingfromhome
There have been many people who have come in and out of my life. Some good, some AMAZING, some not so great and some who were life altering in not so great ways. ⁣ .⁣ All of them have played a part in my journey. Some helped me grow and learn more about myself. Some helped me realize what I did and didn't want out of life. Some simply brought a smile to my face and others made me cry. Some forever changed the lives of my family. Some I am still working to forgive. ⁣ .⁣ It seems crazy to be thankful to those who hurt you doesn't it? Being thankful to those who helped you is easy. But realizing that those who have hurt you also played a huge role in helping you become a better version of yourself. You may still be in the process of becoming that better version. ⁣ .⁣ We are all made up of a combination of our experiences. And as hard as they can be the trials that we go through help shape us even more than some of the good times do. I can't imagine what my life would be like had some of the people who hurt me not been a part of it. ⁣ . ⁣ I wouldn't have the life I do now and I love my life. I wouldn't have my beautiful daughter. I wouldn't have my amazing boys. Had the things and people I wanted back when I was 19 years old stayed in my life... these amazing people I helped create wouldn't be here. ⁣ .⁣ We all have pasts and things that we likely regret, poor decisions we made...but they all led us here. And our next decisions will lead us even farther. Maybe you aren't exactly where you want to be yet - but that's ok because you are getting there. And all the people you meet along the way are part of that journey and are meant to be there to help you in some way.⁣ #thankful #gratitude #positivity #lifelessons #thejourney #thesinglemomblog #thissinglemomrocks #singlemom #mom #parenting #singleparent #singlemomsrock #singlemommylife #selfreflection #parentingblogger #mommyblogger
Do you ignore people's red flags? Are you a fixer? If someone shows you their true colors, don't try to repaint them. This statement really hits home for me. I realized years ago, after my last relationship, that I am a fixer. I think about people in terms of who they could be. Completely ignoring who they really are a lot of times. Looking past the red flags to only try to see the good things. I try to repaint them. Seeing the potential while ignoring the bad things about them.⁣ ⁣ This weeks podcast episode is all about those red flags and NOT ignoring them!⁣ https://thesinglemomblog.com/red-flags/⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #podcast #podcasts #podcaster #thissinglemomrocks #singlemom #mom #parenting #thesinglemomblog #singleparent #single #mommylife #thesinglemomblog #thesinglemompodcast #momblogger #singleparent #inspirationalquotes #selflove #selfcare # #selfworth #momlifeisthebestlife #podcasting

Today I am wearing pearls. I wear them in honor of RBG and all the work she did for equality and women's rights. She was a champion for equality and I will forever be grateful to her. I also wear them to honor my cousin. These were hers. She passed away from meningitis years ago. I haven't been able to bring myself to wear them before now because they made me sad. But today I do. I know if she were alive today she would be passionately voicing her opinion and just as passionately telling people to vote. Our democracy is important and it requires our active participation. VOTE! #vote2020 #vote #usemyvoice #iwillusemyvoice #thesinglemomblog #singlemom #singlemomblog #thissinglemomrocks #democracy #yourvoicematters
