KERRI ZANE; A SINGLE MOM
THAT HAS IT ALL By Kim Somers Egelsee
One
of the most inspiring women I know is Emmy award winning producer, radio host,
fitness guru and author of "It Takes All 5;A Single Mom's Guide to Finding
the Real One". Kerri is a radiant and upbeat shining woman who is always
out to inspire and empower other women. She has walked the walk and talked the
talk of being a powerful single mom and successful businesswoman in many
fields. I decided to interview her to find out her secrets, and to help
other women to have them too.
How
do you stay empowered and confident as a single mom?
The truth is it’s not
always that easy to stay in the flow when you’re a single mom. Fortunately I
have my support system that keeps me in check. I also learned some critical
skills through my spiritual psychology training that has helped me create a
solid and positive path to confidence and strength. Without a partner there with you,Do you feel you get
support and help from others when you ask, being a single mom?
My “village” is amazing. I
have a wonderful mom who has always been my rock, a babysitter who has been
with me since my daughters were born – and that’s a looongg time and amazing
friends. Most of them are also single moms and the mother’s of my daughter’s
friends.
In what ways has being a single mom made you stronger?
I relish being a single
mom. It has empowered me to do things I never dreamed I would do on my own.
Everything from buying my own home to changing all the light bulbs in the entry
hallway light. It’s 10 feet off the ground! I also feel like I am a positive
role model for my daughters. I want them to be independent and financially
self-sufficient. I believe they will make better choices in relationship coming
from that place of strength.
Describe your business and purpose.
I have always been an
entrepreneur. I owned one of the few all female production companies in
Hollywood for 20 years. Last year I published a self help book for single moms,
“It Takes All 5: A Single Mom’s Guide to Finding the REAL One.” Now it is my
sole purpose to help other single moms as a resource and build a community.
How do you get out there and date, being a
single mom?
Dating can be an effort.
There are no two ways about it. But I tell women that “Dating is a journey not
a means to an end.” In other words enjoy the process. Don’t think of it as must
“to-do” in order to find another husband. Chill! Make dating part of life’s
great journey. Meet someone new, learn something from them, relish in the
attention and regale your friends with your bad date stories....my other
saying, “Even a bad date is a good story.”
How do you help other
women feel self love and inspiration to move forward ?
It is one of my most
important missions is to help women allow love into their lives, a REAL love.
But this kind of deep meaningful relationship with oneself and someone else
takes a bit of work and practice. That’s why I have decided to share the
practical how-to’s in a 5 week project called, The Single Mom Superstar
Webinar. There are loads of resources, once a week 40 minute calls, one on one
counseling and more. Here is a link for more information, http://kerrizane.com/single-mom-superstar/
I highly recommend that you all signup for
Kerri's power webinar. This is amazing info for women that are single or
married, moms or non moms, She teaches self love, confidence, success tools and
more.
