Paige C. Clark hosts Jamie Ray Kiel on the Nine to Five Faith podcast, where Jamie shares her journey as a single mom, nurse, and now a coach for single moms.

About Jaime Rae Kiel
Jaime is a single mom that knows the complexities of single parenting. She became a single mom of 4 babies (5 and younger) while still in her 20s with no education that could bring any real income. Despite these obstacles, she put herself through nursing school and landed a prestigious job at a top 10 hospital, later becoming an executive level consultant. Alongside her achievements, Jaime experienced significant failures, including poverty, imposter syndrome, her child's attempted suicide, emotional struggles, failed marriages, and a long-standing sense of lost identity. She tried everything possible to “fix” her broken parts, only to find nothing worked. When the pain became too unbearable, she surrendered to God and asked Him to meet her in her mess. And He did. Now, driven by her own journey, Jaime is passionate about sharing her wisdom with other single mothers. Through her organization, Rooted in Christ, she dedicates herself to equipping single mothers with the knowledge and tools she gained along her transformative path.
