nice to meet you
this is my rags to riches story
let me take you back to my child-hood
i never really fit in, as a child we don't understand the differences or mindsets we have will define who we become as an adult.
i always had a different thought process on things and when i look back on all the things even as a child that crushed me it truly defined not only the woman i became but the mother, the wife, and the leader i am today. i am the oldest of 3 girls so i always felt like i had a very maternal drive to lead.
i was born march 29, 1989 in tulsa oklahoma.
we were living there in a travel trailer while my dad was in bible college.
after he finished that we moved to arizona where i spent most of my childhood.
my dad went on to become a firefighter for the rest of my childhood and my parents started many different businesses in our small town.
that watching them build businesses and sell them would teach me so much that would mold my future and give me so much vision for big dreams.
fast forward to the age of 16 when i decided having a full time job was more important that graduating high school.
at 18, i had been with my boyfriend (now husband) for almost 1 year and decided to sell my first car for $1,500, pack a suitcase, and move to california with him where the true life adventure would begin.
i found my husband on myspace when i was 15 years old and said “i’m going to marry him!"
and guess what? YOUR GIRL DID JUST THAT! haha
he was my friends older brothers hot california friend that would become my husband and father of our four boys.
our marriage is one of the things i am most proud of us for.
we fought for it and did it with god on our side. i am so grateful for this man.
my husband is my best friend. my everything.
we got married in 2016 and had our older boys a part of the most special day of our lives aside from the two days we brought them into this life.
the following year i filed for divorce. we were drowning in all ways. mentally. emotionally. financially.
he was working 70+ hours a week as was i and our marriage took a bit of a back seat.
after 3 months of separation we came back together stronger than we ever were before.
i can honestly say during that time we worked on ourselves. we wanted to be the best version of ourselves for our boys.
i entered motherhood at 19 years old
motherhood is the first season in my life where i felt like i found myself. my true self. the happy and secure version of me.
i spent my early motherhood days exploring any place that was free, i relied on government assistance with the dream of being able to buy my own groceries.
now having 4 boys and being in the position we are as full time family after what felt like failure after failure helping other mamas and inspiring them to follow their dreams while being able to put their babies first is what i was able to build a career with.
in 2013 i started a wood furniture business
from 2013 to 2017 i poured all of me into this business. i grew what from the outside and even on paper looked like “true success”. i had been featured on the Bethenny show about 9 months into starting my business and from there i started to grow an incredible celebrity reach from leann rimes, several OC housewives, tori spelling, jessie james decker, kristin cavallari, kaylin lowry, and many more.
i was booked out 4+ months at any given time and building every furniture piece you can imagine made with wood.
i was making multiple 6 figures a year but drowning in debt and living order to order. i remember asking god “i know you did not bring me this far to just bring me this far, what do you want me doing?”
i started a female entrepreneur event business where i would bring in high profile and celebrity business owners to mentor large groups (60-120) of women.
5 years into that the reflection of hitting a wall started to settle in. i wasn’t making money unless i was physically working. i was scared to death to get hurt because i would be out of work.
i wasn’t the mom i dreamed of being. i wasn’t the wife i dreamed of being. everything was shattering around me. we had piles of debt living in southern california working every waking moment just to barely get by. buying a house was off the table because we would never be able to save enough for a down payment. either one of us reeling it in work wise was off the table because we were drowning financially as it was.
expansion in anyway would lead to more overhead which would keep me in the same cycle i was in.
i had a client who just so happen to be a celebrity hair stylist reach out to me about these new hair products she was repping, i was intrigued and fully trusted her recommendations… until she told me it was an MLM company.
i immediately shut it down and kindly told her to “keep her samples”.
i look back at this day often because i truly was the person who needed these products and this opportunity so badly.
i was broke, unhappy, in debt, on the verge of divorce.
basically all the things i assume someone is when they start a business like this. that was me.
it was the life boat that god brought into my life.
i said “no” to even trying the products multiple times until the day i realized i needed to support her. what if all that was happening in her life? you know everything i assumed. i would want to be the girl that supports another woman through that.
so i did. i tried the products.
long story short, i got them and i did a post for her, used them for a few weeks and fell in love.
i dove into the business knowing nothing other than i like the products and i needed some extra money to why the heck not?
a few more weeks later i learned how much money you can potentially make in this business. the girl i talked to was making $84,000 a month 11 months into her business.
i thought, “if she can do this, so can i” and hit the ground running to find as many women as possible who need this.
i haven’t stopped since i started.
i’ve made it to the top of the comp plan.
i’ve made millions of dollars.
i’ve built the #1 team in the company.
i’ve made it to the #1 income earner spot.
but that is not my destination.
my destination is to help as many other women do the same.
