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.

Conquering Single Moms' To Do List
On certain days, you know what today holds…school, work, pick your kids from school, making dinner, doing homework, and then getting to sleep later than you expected. As a single mom on other days you wake up and you pull yourself out of bed, knowing it's going to be that kind of day…a crazy, chaotic day. You wake up in plenty of time to get ready, yet you find yourself leaving late…again. You're stressed driving your kids to school. You're moody and cranky. It's going to be a day alright.

Single Mom Finding Love Before 40
Why are you still single? It's this the question every single person hates. I used to get this question all the time. Now, I get more of the statement that's a question, "You're single?!" What follows immediately is "Why?" I used to say, "If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be single anymore." Now my response is, "Because I refuse to settle."

How To Get Out Of Your Own Way
The other day, I was at another birthday party for a one-year old. (I didn't realize so many people I know had babies around the time I did.) I start talking with a couple about babies, as the wife is holding my son. I ask if they are ready for one. As the lady says yes, her husband shakes his head no. I ask, "NO?" He replies, "I'm scared."

Single Moms, Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Are you destined for greatness? Absolutely. So what's holding you back? You're familiar with where you are now. It's comfortable, yet you aren't really where you're supposed to be. You're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. You're not reaching the people who need you most. I'm a HUGE proponent of stepping outside your comfort zone. I've been fortunate to do some fun and exciting things when I've done it. I've studied abroad in Norway and volunteered in Africa. I've gone parasailing, skydiving, dog sledding and shark diving. None of those compared to what I did this past week.

Single Moms, What Would You Do With $1,000?
What would $1,000 mean to you? Could it change your life? As a single mom, the decision to attend college may not be easy. You make a list of the pros and cons for going back to school. You really want to go. You know in the long run it will benefit you and your family, but you feel a financial burden. You're doing okay now with the money you have, but when you go back to school, you won't be able to work as much or you'll have to take out student loans.

Single Moms, Listen to That Inner Voice
We've all done it… then something happens, and we think "Why didn't I listen to that voice?" We think this, because the voice could have (and should have) prevented a bad result from occurring. I have always carried my cell phone in my purse. The last couple of days, I've been carrying it in my pockets. Then it has fallen out twice, and I've thought both times, how I need to carry it in my purse again…not even knowing why I decided to put it in my pockets.
