Let me tell you a little secret, friend.
Before I ever made a dollar from my digital business…
Before the six-figure milestones and automations and freedom…
I was that woman staring at her laptop at 10PM, thinking:
“I can’t keep doing this. But I don’t know how to change it.”
I was juggling a full-time job, a family, a never-ending to-do list, and this quiet, persistent whisper in the back of my mind: “You’re meant for more than this.”
And you know what finally made me take my side hustle seriously?
It wasn’t a business course.
It wasn’t a podcast or a viral post.
It was a single, messy moment that hit me straight in the heart.
The Day I Knew Something Had to Change
I’ll never forget it.
I was sitting in the car, in a parking lot, scarfing down the fast food I had picked up during my “lunch break” as I was cramming in all the errands that I could before I had to go back into the office — where I knew five new buckets of stress had been delivered during the 45 minutes I’d been away, and trying not to cry because I had nothing left to give that day.
I was exhausted.
I was behind on everything.
And I remember thinking, “This can’t be it. This can’t be what all my hard work adds up to.”
That moment wasn’t glamorous. But it was honest.
And it cracked me wide open.
I didn’t want to live on autopilot anymore.
I wanted options. I wanted freedom. I wanted to build something that gave back to my life—instead of draining me every day.
I Had Dabbled Before… But This Time Was Different
I had started and stopped a few side hustles before—little projects here and there.
But I never really committed.
I’d start something, then back away the second life got busy (which… it always did).
But this time, the why was deeper.
It wasn’t about trying something cute or trendy.
It was about reclaiming my time, my joy, and my power.
I stopped treating my business like a hobby—and started treating it like a lifeline.
Because that’s what it was.
I Found a System That Worked WITH My Life (Not Against It)
Here’s the thing: I didn’t suddenly find 20 extra hours in my week.
I just learned to focus on what actually moved the needle.
I ditched the fluff. I simplified everything.
And I started stacking tiny wins—one after the other.
I created a product. I set up systems. I automated the delivery. I marketed it in simple, doable ways.
Six months after my breakdown – I had a breakthrough. My side hustle crossed the six-figure mark. I couldn’t believe it. In SIX MONTHS! I had finally cracked the code.
I didn’t need to work 10-hour weekends to succeed.
I needed a strategy that respected the reality of my life.
I Let People In
This might have been the biggest shift.
I stopped trying to be a lone ranger Googling my way through business building.
Instead, I found mentorship. I found community. I got in rooms with other women doing the same thing, and I stopped feeling so alone in the process.
You don’t have to do this alone either, friend.
And honestly? You shouldn’t.
Because you deserve support. You deserve strategy. You deserve to stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward.
