The Single Black Motherhood Podcast

If you’ve ever created a routine that lasted all of three days, this episode is for you. As single moms, we don’t have the luxury of depending on motivation. We’re tired. We’re busy. We’re juggling work, kids, schedules, and everyone else’s needs. So how do you build routines that actually last? In this episode, Kim is breaking down: Why most routines fail The mistake we make when we rely on feelings How to build routines with margin instead of pressure Why you shouldn’t focus on everything at once How to stop negotiating with yourself Routines don’t have to be rigid or hit at exact times to work. They just need structure, grace, and consistency. If you’re ready to build something sustainable — not perfect — this episode will help you start. Listen now and let’s build routines that support you, not stress you.

Setting goals is the easy part. Following through is where most of us get stuck. In this episode, Kim is sharing how she is approaching her goals this year—and more importantly, how she is holding herself accountable. Instead of focusing on the entire year, she is breaking goals into a shorter, more realistic time frame and using simple systems to stay consistent, even when life gets busy. She'll walk you through: How she's structuring the goals The theme guiding decisions this season The habits she's focusing on (and the ones she's letting go of) How she is tracking execution and progress Why systems matter more than motivation or discipline If you’ve ever started the year feeling motivated but struggled to maintain momentum, this episode is for you. Take what you need, leave the rest, and use what fits your real life.

"This wasn’t the year I expected… but it turned out to be the year I probably needed." In this episode, Kim is sharing her honest reflection of 2025 — a year that didn’t look like “success” on paper, but quietly reshaped her emotional health, finances, motherhood, relationships, career, and sense of self. Instead of being a year of big wins, this became a year of rebuilding, recovery, and stabilizing her life — and that kind of growth doesn’t come with applause, but it changes everything. She talks through: navigating disappointment when life didn’t match the vision healing from job loss and regaining emotional footing motherhood in a season of recovery and supporting a daughter through big change how travel brought joy, connection, and grounding moments a full financial recap — what she spent, saved, and learned career clarity, identity shifts, and redefining success on her own terms the quiet wins she's proud of and how the year prepared her to rise again in 2026 If your year didn’t look like you planned… this episode will remind you that you are not behind, you are not failing, and sometimes the most important years are the ones nobody claps for. Take a breath. Reflect. And give yourself grace. Recovery is still progress — and it builds the foundation for everything that comes next.

Goals don’t fail because you’re lazy — they fail when your life doesn’t have the support to follow through. In this episode of Single Black Motherhood: The Podcast, Kim breaks down the systems that actually help single moms stay consistent, even when life gets messy. She covers: What systems really are and why they matter Three practical systems to protect your time, energy, and money How to start small this week and create momentum If staying consistent has felt impossible, this episode will help you reframe the struggle and give you a plan that works for real life.

If you’re tired of setting goals that fall apart by February, this episode is for you. Inside this episode, we cover: How to reflect on the past year without guilt The goal-setting categories every mom should consider How the 12-Week Year helps you stay focused Why systems + environments matter more than motivation Accountability tools you can actually stick to Real challenges moms shared — and how to overcome them If you’re ready to build momentum before January, create habits that actually stick, and plan a year that feels aligned with who you are and what you want — hit play. 💛 DM Kim or tag her on Instagram @singleblackmotherhood — She wants to see what goals you’re working on!

In this episode, Kim is breaking down money moves to help you get through the holiday season without blowing your budget… or your peace. She talks about how to plan ahead, set a realistic spending limit, and avoid the last-minute holiday pressure that leads to overspending. Whether you’re celebrating big, keeping it simple this year, or somewhere in between, this episode is all about helping you stay grounded, intentional, and financially confident during a season that can bring a lot of pressure. If you're a single mom trying to juggle joy, budgets, and real life—this one’s for you.

In this episode, Kim is catching you up on life—what’s been happening behind the scenes, what she’s been navigating as a single mom, and the shifts that led to this podcast restart. She opens up about the financial challenges she faced, including cutting back on things she once loved (yes… even meal prep and nail appointments), and the burnout that slowed down the hustle and content creation. Kim also shares her wins—consistently tracking her expenses, landing new jobs after losing one, and continuing to build a life with intention. She breaks down what’s coming next for the podcast, what you can expect moving forward, and why now feels like the right time to return to the mic after putting things off. If you’re a single mom navigating real life, real money, raising kids, and trying to build something meaningful—this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone, you’re doing better than you think, and you can always start again.
