Hey guys, starting a new financial series, so make you sure to subscribe, so you do not miss an episode. Let's make the broke single mom stereotype a myth.
When I became a single mom, I desperately wanted to give my kids and myself the lifestyle we had known when their dad and I were together. To do this, I tried to continue taking them out to eat, paying for cable, piano classes, getting my hair and nails done every two weeks, and buying clothes we did not need. Doing this only put me deeper in debt.
The solution was to create a budget and stick with it; I know that the word budget might make you think of a restrictive lifestyle with no room for fun. But, it is the one tool that helped to take the overwhelm out of my finances, and when we did go out to eat, I wasn’t wondering if I was going to be able to pay the light bill. Sit down with a piece of paper and write out all your expenses, big and small, and their due dates, then write down your income streams (include everything). “It’s crucial to track your spending habits so you can get a better holistic idea of your financial circumstances.”
I know that this may be scary, but this is how you protect your family.
With Peace and Love,
Renee

Hey, I get it being single can be lonely; being a single mom can be lonely and scary. Like everyone else, single moms want to be in a stable, loving relationship. The problem happens when we try to manifest those relationships before we’ve gotten ourselves, our children, and our households in order.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why healing from your previous relationship is important to the success of your new one.
- Make sure your kids are adjusting, break-ups are hard on kids like you; they have come to depend on the other person being in their life.
- How to organize your household to reduce stress and overwhelm.
- Why getting your finances in order now will save future you from future heartache in the future.
- Create your village and get the emotional support you and your children need.
I know that single parenting can be lonely, and I would never tell you not to date again, but with children in the mix, you can never be too careful.

You have tried spanking, grounding, yelling, and time outs to get your child to obey the rules of the house, but nothing works for long. You are tired and frustrated, and you want a way to reduce the conflict in your home so that the entire family can enjoy being together under the same roof.
