Joining me today is Audrey Renee of Dear Single Mommy.
Audrey Renee is a writer, author, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and life coach. Audrey used to be homeless and live in a transitional home where God called her to start ministering to the hearts of mothers. It was there she found forgiveness and healing through blogging and letter writing.
God then placed a few things upon her heart and Audrey turned her pain into purpose and started a community for single moms to come together and encourage each other. Soon after getting on her feet, God brought Audrey to a place where she was able to save $10,000 and leave her job during the pandemic. Audrey is committed to being an example to moms everywhere and redefining what it means to be a single mom.
What I love about Audrey is how open she is. During our conversation, she poured from her heart. Not only did she share her experience and all she has going on but she truly left inspiring words that minister to all moms/women listening.
In this episode, Audrey shares:
- The encounter that changed her life for the good
- The evolution of Dear Single Mommy
- How healing and forgiveness are vital to elevate to your next level
- How you can't allow people and systems to keep you stuck
- What to do when God is calling you to "more"

Today in the guest chair is Dahnni McLean, author of "Blinded By the D".
Fun Fact: Dahnni and I have been friends for years. We have supported each other through our business and life journeys. In fact, Dahnni is the first (and maybe the only person to call me WannMo) which inspired by business entity name and various ventures that fall under that umbrella.
Fast forward to the present, Dahnni is not only a friend, but also a client who I had the honor of coaching through my Power of One Coaching program. In the 30 days, we spent together, I watched Dahnni grow, build her confidence and get her book finished and published. I think I enjoyed the journey as much as she did and now she is here to talk to all of us about being blinded by the D.
In today's episode, Dahnni keeps it real as only she can. She shares:
- her "awakening" moment and the heart-wrenching choices she was faced with
- how important it is to lead by and be an example to your children
- the power of certain "D's" in our lives
- why a "cookie cleanse" is an important part of the healing process
- the connection between fear, decisions, and commitments

In this IG live replay, Sherita and I sat down to talk about the importance of the “what” that we pour into our children. How “do as I say, not as I do” is not always the best way to live.
We dove deep into:
- the importance of what we pour into our children spiritually, educationally, and as related to life skills
- how it is okay to apologize to your children.
- how our children mirror the things we do
- how we must lead by example

Today joining me in the guest chair are Shayna and Tracey of the Band of Mothers podcast and the Pump and Dump Live show. Shayna and Tracey have been friends since 8th grade. They created the Band of Mother's brand to help uplift other women and remind moms they are awesome. Shayna and Tracey's mission is to spread humor and generosity from mom to mom because we're all just doing the best we can.
What I love about Shayna & Tracey is how they got their startup after an experience in a Chili's restaurant. I also love how they incorporate humor into every day topics that all moms encounter and may struggle with. They found a creative way to provide an outlet, not only for themselves but for other moms as well, to get together and laugh about mom struggles and successes.
Today they share:
- The particular experience that inspired the start of the Pump and Dump Live show
- The importance of facing yourself in the mirror and dealing with your issues
- How body positivity and a positive mindset can inspire our children
- The current shift on social media and in life towards more transparent living

If I can be honest, I am tired. As a Black mother in America, I am exhausted. This episode takes a deep dive into my thoughts as a Black woman and mother in this country.
From the killing of Black people at the hands of law enforcement to the Black maternal health crisis to new Voter Suppression laws, it's hard to be Black right now. The unbearable grief and trauma of Black mothers are at an all-time high, leaving many asking the question, "Why?"
In this episode, I share my honest and transparent thoughts and views on the experience of Black mothers and how necessary reform is on all levels.
