My Story: From Survival Mode to Building a Life of Freedom
I never imagined I’d become a single mum with a newborn and a one-year-old. At that time, my biggest fears kept me awake at night: How am I going to afford to look after my boys? Would I have to put them in daycare just to work and miss out on watching them grow? I had always dreamed of being a stay-at-home mum, but suddenly that dream felt ripped away.
On top of that, I carried the heavy weight of wondering what people thought about my breakup — and whether I was doing motherhood “right.” The truth is, there was no time to think or plan. My boys were so little, so dependent on me, that I just had to get up every day and do it — all while riding the rollercoaster of emotions from how my relationship had fallen apart.
Looking back now, I know I lost a good twelve months of my life in survival mode. I believe I went through postnatal depression, and there are so many moments with my babies that I simply don’t remember. That breaks my heart. I was just an emotional mess, and I pushed through because I had no choice. I definitely lost myself during that time. If it wasn’t for the support of my family — especially my sister — I don’t know how I would have made it.
The turning point for me was when I stumbled into affiliate marketing through a friend. At first, it was just a low-ticket side business with Lorraine Lea. But what I didn’t expect was how much the friendships, the community, and especially the personal development training would pull me out of my darkest place. Slowly, I started to find myself again.
From there, I never stopped doing the personal work. Each year, I’ve grown stronger. I’ve learned to say “no” to the things and people that don’t serve me. I’ve surrounded myself with people who inspire me. I’ve learned to block out the haters and push myself to do the things that once terrified me.
Eventually, I went all in on my online business. Why? Because I saw everyday people creating financial and time freedom. I thought — why not me? My boys are athletic and love their sports. I don’t want to miss a single game or carnival because I’m stuck at work. I don’t want to stress about the next bill or wonder how I’ll ever retire on my own. I want to take my kids on camping trips and holidays without worrying about money. I want to show them what’s possible.
This business has given me so much more than I imagined. The abundance of trainings, the community of like-minded people, the constant growth in my confidence — it’s been life-changing. Every day, I’m pushing myself out of my comfort zone, doing things I once would have been embarrassed to do. And now? I honestly don’t care what people think anymore.
My vision is clear: to be financially independent, to live a life of freedom, and to lead by example. I want my boys to see that they can do anything they set their minds to — that they don’t have to live by old-school rules of society, but can carve their own paths.
And to the mum who feels like she’s drowning right now — I want you to know, I see you. I know how dark and lonely survival mode feels. But please believe me when I say: with the right people and the right tools, you can become unstoppable. Just look at everything you’ve already done for your kids. Even if you feel like you’re failing some days, you’re not. Take one step at a time. Keep pushing through the pain. Work on yourself — not just for your kids, but for you. You’re stronger than you think.
I know where you’re at.
I’ve been there.
I am you.
