Single Mom Smiling | Mindset Strategies for Single Moms
Are you a busy single mom struggling with overwhelm, exhaustion, and self-doubt? Are you ready to discover hope that doesn’t come from a half-eaten chocolate bar found between couch cushions, another glass of wine in a sippy cup, or swiping through online dating sites? Then the Single Mom Smiling podcast is for you! Kerri Bishop is an author, speaker, and coach who now brings her energy and enthusiasm to podcasting. She is also a single mom of FIVE boys whose husband, on Mother’s Day, suddenly announced he was leaving. He moved out one week later. Kerri was 5 months pregnant with their 5th little boy at the time. Kerri now gratefully helps other women build lives of hope and positivity. Together, we will dive into unanswered questions, issues of self-worth, and next steps so you can become the woman and mom you are meant to be all while navigating this God-given adventure called life!

The new year can be a time for new beginnings and the start of a new you. While many people set goals to be healthier, to get financially fit, to declutter, or to build better relationships, few keep those goals.
What if that's because they're aiming small? What if God is not simply calling you to meet a goal, but He is calling you to perfection?
Before getting on the anti-perfection bandwagon, consider that Jesus tells us to, "Be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect"?
Today's episode looks at what it means to strive for perfection in 2025. I'd love to hear what you think and how you're striving for perfection in your life!
God Bless...

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...

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...

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.
God Bless...

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 Kerri@SingleMomSmiling.com
God Bless...

The election is over and whether your candidate won or lost, Americans must find a way to move forward together. The path to healing after the election is very similar to the path to healing after divorce, abandonment, or any kind of significant break up or loss.
That path forward lies in healing through strength that comes through three main practices. Learn about these practices in today's episode and move forward in healing.
God Bless...
