30 Years in the Making. (My Why)
Making money online. Living your best life. Social media reels asking you to buy something. None of these things feel new nowadays and if you’re anything like me often social media scrolling can drive you mad, thinking what happened to the good old days where I logged on to see my old friends from back home sharing baby photos or birthday montages.
Well today I wanted to dive in to why I’m here, why this account exists and why I hope you join us.
I want to share because, at first glance it could look like the rest of it - showing you to make money online, sharing how to live your best life and well reels and links leading to places where you can buy things. I promise you while all those things are true, around here things have a slightly different flavor.
I believe that people deserve freedom. I believe people deserve to wake up and create a life of their choosing. I believe God had chosen each and every one of us to be here, on purpose, with purpose. I believe in thriving, being better with age, being confident, alive and unstoppable. I also believe the world is on a mad mission to ensure you end up with just the opposite.
I’m here to show you how to access freedom now. I’m here to show you how to have financial freedom, to build a life that’s uniquely fulfilling to you, how to get your time back, how to have your best health and ultimately here to rewrite the social norms that have you overworked, underpaid, frustrated, unfulfilled and unwell.
Why I’m so passionate that you are here is because freedom and living a created life isn’t something new for me and I want to have a space where I can share all I’ve learned on my journey so your journey can start now.
In 2004 shortly after getting married, to my then husband, I realized that for me to build the life I wanted for my family and future children I had to make changes. I was working in a banking career that dictated how I spent my time and limited my choices. A fight to attend my great grandmothers funeral, no flexibility to attend a health seminar I wanted to join, no accommodation for my salaried pay when sales targets or mandatory meetings were a must attend or had us forced to work late. I remember sitting in my office thinking “I’m in my early 20s and I’ve traded my life for a paycheck, do people really buy in to this for 40 years, retire and THEN enjoy their life when they’re old, unwell and exhausted - NO THANK YOU!”
It was late 2004 when I had this “not on my watch” moment and I got in action to change things up. I started looking for options to work in my field, without time constraints or bosses dictating how I used my time. I started prioritizing my health and attending health and fitness events regularly.
I took life into my hands fueled by a vision for the life I’d always wanted, where I could prioritize being a healthy mom and wife, healthy, vibrant, energized and free.
By end of 2005 I was down 80 lbs, had completed 6 half marathons and was working fully commission from home as a mortgage specialist and earning more than ever. My time was back in my control. My health was thriving. The vision for my life felt way more on track. I was on top of the world.
Now fast forward, 20 years later, it’s now fall 2024 and I’m launching this new space talking freedom. Let’s catch you up to speed.
Since fall 2005 and my launch into creating a life of freedom a lot has happened and I share this because unplugging from the norm and having a vision for your life doesn’t mean it arrives with ease over night, packaged perfectly like an Amazon delivery.
Since 2005 I have had 2 children, owned, renovated, built and decorated 6 homes, I’ve moved 11 times, I’ve gone thru a divorce, I’ve learned to co-parent, I’ve dated, I’ve had break ups, I’ve made great money, I’ve been deeply in debt, I’ve enjoyed a ton of travel, I’ve completed countless courses, I’ve trained with great leaders, I’ve changed careers, I’ve earned awards, I’ve launched businesses, I’ve lost businesses and I’ve even slept on friends couches.
There have been so many highs and so many lows but one thing remained consistent - my commitment to living my life on my terms and doing whatever it takes to get there.
Summer 2022 I would say I got there. I woke up on my 41st birthday, made my very routine breakfast, went out on to the south facing balcony of my perfect 21st floor 3 bedroom apartment and sat soaking in the sunrise feeling a deep deep sense of peace I’d longed for for years.
I remember thinking to myself “man this feels so good, but being here looked nothing as I’d expected”
So let’s look at why I’ve created this account. Over the last 20 years I have both learned so much and lived so much and when I look at the state of the world today I know that the knowledge I’ve gained can help you. It’s time to pay it forward, have some fun and in my next chapter see as many like minded people as possible wake up to that peace I believe everyone should know.
And what’s even more exciting is this community exist along side my ongoing journey for personal freedom. Like my vision in 2004, today I find myself in a beautiful thriving committed relationship with my best friend, having more babies in my 40s which has been something I’ve dreamed of for a long time, launching my two teens into adulthood and planning a life where we can all travel the world, live anywhere, and be limited by nothing (other than maybe finding wifi or cell reception time to time)
For our family’s vision it’s going to mean more passive income, more access to time freedom, dialing in our health as we age, navigating life changes and stages and so much more.
What’s best isI know I have the tools to create it all, I feel excited, confident, and peaceful BECAUSE I have the last 20 years under my belt.
I don’t want you to have to spend the next 20 years falling, getting back up, pivoting, learning on repeat to get to a place of freedom and peace. So I’m here and have created this space for you. I’ve released a powerful pair of digital programs so you can have everything you need to create your best life now. Be Set Free which is everything Mindset (watch for a why blog later today) and Digital Wealth Academy (again a little more coming out this afternoon). Both programs have a freebie version to get a taste, and a paid in full version that gives you everything you need for a lifetime of freedom.
I am so blessed every day and I believe in paying it forward an creating a new norm. A new norm where YOU wake up confident, alive, healthy, wealthy, living your uniquely fulfilling life with peace, freedom and ease.
