The Resilient Mompreneur

  Mother’s Day has come and gone, but the love and appreciation for mothers should never fade. 🌸 For many, yesterday was a day of celebration—breakfast in bed, heartfelt cards, and sweet moments with loved ones. But for others, Mother’s Day was a painful reminder of loss, longing, or life’s unexpected paths. 💔 As I reflected on my own journey, I remember the years when I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be a mother. I thought I had everything I needed—freedom, ambition, and the ability to pour love into my nieces and nephews. But then, my son arrived, and everything changed. He filled a space in my heart I didn’t even know existed. Motherhood is not always easy, but it is a beautiful, life-changing journey that I cherish every day. So, what’s next after Mother’s Day? 💖 Continue to celebrate yourself. Whether or not you received flowers or gifts, your role is invaluable. Every day, you show up, love, nurture, and give your best. That alone is worth celebrating. 🤲 Extend grace ...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women out there! 💐 Whether you have a child from your body or have nurtured, coached, and guided others with love and care—you are worthy of celebration today and always. But while today is a day of joy for many , it can also be a painful reminder for others. 💛 Some long to be mothers but face infertility struggles. 💛 Some grieve the loss of a child or their own mother. 💛 Some have chosen not to have children and feel excluded from the conversation. As we celebrate motherhood, how can we also show compassion to those who find this day difficult? Embracing Every Woman’s Journey For many years, I was one of those women who believed I didn’t need children. I was content with my freedom, enjoying life as an aunt, and focusing on my goals. Motherhood wasn’t part of my plan. But when my son was born, everything changed. He filled a space in my heart that I didn’t even realise was empty. Though some days are challenging, I fe...

  There’s a saying: 👉 Holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. How often have you been hurt? I know I’ve been hurt more times than I can count —by loved ones, co-workers, and people I trusted. For years, I carried those grudges like a badge of honour . Then I read this scripture: 📖 Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV) – “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” That verse changed everything. I don’t want to carry the burden of unforgiveness , and I don’t want it to rob me of joy. Forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about you . How to Let Go & Forgive If you’re struggling with forgiveness, here are some steps that helped me: 1️⃣ Pray about it – Ask God to soften your heart. 2️⃣ Call their names to God – Even if it’s painful, release them in prayer. 3️⃣ Seek wise counsel – Talk to a mentor or past...

  Each day as a single mother comes with its own set of challenges and victories. My little one is almost three years old, and while I’m in awe of how fast time is flying, I also feel a sense of excitement—this stage of life means I can start focusing on my career again. The Journey Back to My Career Recently, I’ve been actively job-hunting and preparing for my career comeback . After years at home with my son, I finally took the leap and completed my CIPD Level 5 Associate Membership —a massive achievement that I’m incredibly proud of. Studying with a toddler wasn’t easy, and I faced countless hurdles along the way. But through it all, I learned to trust God more, strengthen my faith, and push past self-doubt . A Day in My Life as a Job-Seeking Single Mom Right now, my son attends nursery using government-funded hours , which gives me time to focus on my job search and personal development. My current routine looks like this: ⏰ 6:00 AM – My alarm goes off, and I start my m...

  On some days, single motherhood feels like walking a tightrope—balancing responsibilities, emotions, and uncertainty. But even when life feels overwhelming, God is still in control.   “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:8 You don’t have to have it all figured out. Trust that God is already working things out for you and your child.  Read more on trusting God through uncertainty here:  https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/page/edit/8554001681916942446/4006722356910674247?hl=en 💬 How do you lean on God when things feel uncertain?

  Today March 21 st 2025 is Single Parents Day , and as a proud single mother , I want to take a moment to honour every parent out there. You are showing up, pushing through, and giving your all—every single day. Single parenting is a journey filled with love, sacrifice, and an unmatched strength . It means being the comforter, provider, and protector , often juggling more than we ever thought possible. To the moms and dads doing it alone —I see you. To the ones working late nights and early mornings —I respect you. To the parents feeling exhausted but showing up anyway —you are amazing.                               I won’t lie—this path isn’t always easy. There are days when the weight of responsibility feels overwhelming , moments of loneliness, and times we wonder if we’re doing enough. But in those moments, we rise . Our children need to see the courage and strength needed in those moment...
