94: Routines That Actually Stick (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)
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.

93: New Year, New Goals: How I’m Holding Myself Accountable
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.

92: My 2025 Recap: The Rebuilding Year
"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.

Published 25 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Chronic overwhelm increases your stress levels and stress. If you did not know, it can do real harm to your body. If you're on a health journey like I am, you probably know that an increase in stress can lead to an increase in cortisol and that can slow down your fat loss and impact your recovery. So I hope you can see that structure isn't just about us being productive and intentional, but it's also about taking care of our health. Number two, rigid schedules. Rigid leads to burnout. You don't have to do the same things the same day at the same time. Flexibility is going to protect you. Number three, letting feelings dictate your actions. […]
