I broke up with corporate when I needed more flexibility. 

No matter how much I achieved or what I did, that need wasn’t going to go away.

School was always going to open at 8:15, but my job would need me to be there at 8.

Daycare was always going to close at 6, but rush-hour traffic would keep me on the road until 7:30.

The more I achieved, the more responsibility I’d have, and the less the hours in a day would make sense.

So I took everything I knew—everything from 10 years of side hustlin’, freelance writing, business and marketing college grinding, corporate marketing supporting—and threw myself into the entrepreneurial deep end.

I set up a website, a portfolio, and put a $197 sales training on my credit card.

I gave myself 21 days to match my corporate salary and quit my job.

I did it in 18.

Before I knew it, I’d become kind of a big deal.

I went from a side hustler and writer—my work has been featured on places like Scary Mommy and Livestrong and Modern Mom because spoiler alert knowing how to market your work gets more of it published—to a multi-6 figure marketing agency owner.

I worked with hundreds of clients across the B2B and B2C landscape.

I consulted for clients making everywhere from 5 figures to multi-6 figures. 

I vaulted my way into Masterminds and networking groups, rubbed elbows with millionaires, and soaked up wisdom like a thirsty woman in the desert.

Later, I launched a teaching and mentorship program and coached over 150 students in one year alone.

I even wrote and published a book.
