I used to make $29,000 a year.

Twenty-nine thousand dollars as a nonprofit director with a master's degree, barely able to keep the lights on.

But the real problem wasn't the salary. It was my money story.

I believed men create wealth. Women support. So I stayed small, underpaid, and dependent—waiting for someone else to save me financially.

Then cancer woke me up.

Lying in that hospital bed, I realized: I'm the only one who can secure my children's future. Not my husband. Not anyone else. Me.

That's when everything shifted. I decided to become a single mom who uplevels instead of downgrades.

In this episode, I share:
💜 The money story that kept me stuck at $29K
💜 Why I was pushing my husband to provide instead of creating wealth myself
💜 The wake-up call that changed everything
💜 The golden ticket formula: natural gifts + passion + value creation = wealth
💜 How I went from $29K to building a multimillion-dollar business as a single mom
💜 The 3 questions that will shift your entire relationship with money
💜 Why aligning with your purpose is the key to financial freedom
Whether you want to build a million-dollar business or finally stop living paycheck to paycheck—this episode is for you.

You don't need anyone to save you. You can save yourself.

My book, Awaken Your Purpose, is the 28-day framework that took me from $29K to millions. It shows you how to get crystal clear on your purpose and build wealth doing what you love.
