The idea of starting a family and being a mom did not seem safe and surely wasn’t familiar, and it definitely wasn’t something that I knew anything about. so it’s no wonder that I wanted to stay in that safe role as long as possible! It quickly became a part of my identity that was SAFE and FAMILIAR and CAME EASILY to me…. What was hard was that I was so good at it that I started to believe that THAT WAS MY THING! I thought ” Ok, I’m going to kill-it in the small business world and that’s going to be a huge part of my identity!”. I truly believe that my business is 100% a gift from God. It’s a gift to be able to grow a thriving business and start it from literally nothing. ![]() The thing is, I don’t think that my motivation in my business was a BAD thing. I had too many levels to hit and records to break. I had so many things that I wanted to accomplish. I think that’s because when they were dreaming of having babies, I was thinking about my business. ![]() I had college roommates who could just naturally talk about having babies like it was no big deal, but I couldn’t.

It was exciting… people were proud of me… it was succeeding. I worked hard on this little business of mine and it quickly became the biggest part of my life. I was so committed to making this thing happen! I knew some people thought I was crazy, but ten years later I’m pretty sure they see why I was so intense in the early years! It paid off!!! We have clients and students that we love, and our business brings us so much joy! So, during my Junior year of college, I started my business and that quickly became one of my top priorities.
