Rising with Purpose: How Single Moms Build Businesses that Serve & Inspire
Manage episode 506401118 series 3437932
What happens when purpose leads, when every challenge becomes a catalyst, and when serving isn’t just nice—it’s the engine of success? In this episode Steve Ramona sits down with Shelly Starks, a powerhouse communicator, coach, and servant‐leader who shows us what it looks like to build not only a business—but a life—grounded in heart, impact, and authenticity.
From navigating single motherhood to defining your why, from building tribes of support to transforming struggles into fuel, Shelley shares her journey with raw honesty and practical wisdom. You’ll hear the moment she realized caring for herself had to come first, the tipping point when serving others through nonprofit work opened new doors, and how communication styles and authentic connection underpin thriving teams and businesses.
If you’re a single mom wondering how to serve in your business; if you’re in your 8‑5 but dreaming of more; if you want to create impact that matters—this episode is made for you. Listen in, take notes, and let Shelley’s story show you how to rise, serve, and succeed.
P.S. After you listen, try this: write down your “why” today. What purpose wakes you up in the morning? That clarity will change how you show up in business, in life, and in who you serve.
