When Jessica Rector graduated from college, she didn’t know what she wanted to do. Since she wasn’t able to find help, she set out to find the answer on her own. While enrolled at UTA for grad school, she studied in Norway for six months, and she knew there was more out there for her, but she just didn’t know what. After grad school Jessica moved to Los Angeles where she developed a successful television talk show which created her desire for broadcasting. After graduating from UTA with her third degree in broadcast jou alism, Jessica continued her talk show for several years interviewing The Biggest Loser winner and contestants and NFL players. She started life coaching and wrote a self-help book called Live Your Greatest Life which top selling author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy endorses saying, “This book shows every woman how to unleash her full potential for love, health, happiness and complete fulfillment in life.” Upon becoming a single mom, Jessica didn’t find the resources, support, and information she needed for being a single mom and entrepreneur. So she created them through her company The Single Mom Movement™ which serves single moms to Breathe Happiness. Be Fulfilled. Live Empowered! This movement is changing the face of single moms while giving them a voice so they stop saying, “I can’t, because I’m a single mom,” but instead say, “Look at ALL I can do, AND I’m a single mom.” With targeted, strategic private coaching, programs, events, and a school for single moms, individuals learn to use her proven strategies and tools to create a life of confidence, worthiness, and acceptance. Jessica is acutely aware of what it takes to transform yourself, upgrade your mind, and be authentic. She strives for every single mom to be happy, fulfilled, and empowered.

Single Moms Follow Your Dreams
I conducted two workshops at the PTA Leadership Summit in Dallas. After my first session, an attendee came up and talked to me. She said she had a dream, she just didn't know what it was. She was entering a new phase in her life, in her early thirties, and just settling in after a divorce, and she wanted to know how to discover her dream... her passion. She didn't know where to start.

Single Mom Dating
I didn't date a lot when I was younger. I always used to say it was because I enjoyed hanging out with my friends (which I did), but really it was more about never getting asked out. Everyone wants to be liked. Everyone wants to be asked out. College I dated more, well hung out with guys, because in college no one has money to really go out and do much. Since college, my dating life has been sporadic--a few here and there but never finding "the one."

Love is in the air. Or so we hope, especially for this single mom. This season, fall in love. Where is the best place? That's the question, I've asked myself over and over again. Where do people go to find love?

Single Moms and the Little Things
I have a couple of friends with young kids. When I ask them what they are doing for July 4th, they are either not taking their kids for fireworks or doing it at a distance, because of the possible loud noises. None of which occurs to me. As a first time mom, should I even have considered these? The only thing I can think about is how exciting it will be for B. Then again, I hadn't really ever stopped to think of the "loud" noises that might scare him. Should I be more cautious?

Single Moms Health
I went to my niece's first birthday party on Saturday. I was looking so forward to it. I can't believe it's already been a year for them. I remember getting the call that my sister-in-law was in labor, driving up to the hospital, and being in the waiting room... EAGER. Eager to make sure they were okay. Eager to know if it was a boy or a girl. And definitely EAGER to find out the baby's name... Elise.

Single Moms Live Your Greatest Life
Blaise and I went to a one-year-old's birthday party this weekend. It was spectacular. With a rocket and astronaut theme, the mom is uber-talented and had thought of everything. From the handmade and hand painted solar system that hung from the ceiling to the refueling station (drinks), pop rock candy, and takeaway CD filled with the birthday boy's favorite space songs, the partygoers couldn't want for anything. (I just got sidetracked, because I'm in awe of her creative geniusness at work.)

Going Back to Work After Giving Birth
I arrive at the doctor's office five minutes late. It seems that's par for the course when you have a baby. It takes a lot for me to get anywhere. Gone are the days where I can wake up, throw on some clothes, pull my hair in a ponytail, grab a quick bite, brush my teeth, and head out the door in fifteen minutes. Yes, I still throw on some clothes, throw my hair back, grab a bite (if I'm lucky), brush my teeth and head out the door... the difference is it now takes me two hours to do that. And then I still arrive late.

Single Moms' Limitations
I had plans for today. It's Sunday, so I'm going to take Blaise to the park. He just loves swinging and propping his foot up in the swing to steady himself. That way, he doesn't have to hold on and can gnaw on his hands instead. I also need to get my blogs done for the week. That's five blog posts. No problem. Blaise will sleep several times throughout the day, so that gives me plenty of time to do them. Great. I have a plan for the day, and I should have time to finish it all.

Single Moms, Do You Give In?
When you're a mom, sometimes you can't get anything done. Well, you can't get things done the way YOU want them done. As I sit my eight-month-old son down in the living room surrounded by his security gates, that rarely do as they're intended, I'm ready to work. Yet, he has something else in mind. As we know, our young kids can be such great helpers. So here is what Blaise wants you to hear from him (and then I'll finish writing).-r

Being a New Single Mom
Even through my 38 weeks of pregnancy, I never once imagined what motherhood would be like. I really never thought about being a single mom. Yes, you hear things will change, but I never truly understood it, which seems to be the case with most things, until you experience them.

The Joys of Being a First Time Mom
It still doesn't seem real. I can't believe it. It's taken me this long to get into a routine of things. Don't get me wrong, I had what I thought were routines. Then a week or two passed, and I would tweak them trying to see if something worked better. Sometimes routines put you in a rut, but as a single mom to a newborn, I need a routine.
