For the Burnt-Out Network Marketer...You Were Never Meant to Hustle This Hard for So Little

If you feel like you're constantly grinding just to stay stuck, never moving forward... you're not alone.

I see you. Hustling day and night, posting nonstop, barely breathing between Zooms or team chats.

But here's the truth that changed everything for me:
Working harder is not the answer.

What is?
✨ Working smarter.
✨ Building systems that give you your time back.
✨ Partnering with offers that pay you well—without stealing your life.

You weren’t meant to sacrifice everything just to make ends meet.

You’re allowed to build a business that supports your purpose and your peace.

Drop a ❤️ if you’re done with the hustle and ready for true prosperity.

The new normal in business is giving yourself grace and ease when you need it.

04/11/2025

I used to think if I could just work hard enough, I’d be able to work less… until I burned out. Here's what I do instead.

The hustle culture sold me a dangerous myth: more hours up front = more success, and time freedom in the future. My calendar was packed, my relationships were sacrificed, and I was glued to my phone.

Not really the stay at home, boss mom vibes I had envisioned 😬

Then my business made the decision my mind wouldn’t, it stopped working.

Not only did my sales suffer, I had lost the ability to help others duplicate success because it wasn’t sustainable.

Now I practice value-based work instead of volume-based work:

I identify my highest-impact activities—the 20% that generates 80% of my results—and prioritize those exclusively.

Then, I've built systems that generate income without requiring my constant presence. Taking care of tedious tasks so that I can focus on that 20%.

I invest my time and energy in skills that increase my value rather than just my availability.

The irony? I work fewer hours but earn more than during my burnout-hustle days.

Your energy is the true currency friend. When you protect it fiercely and deploy it strategically, financial abundance follows naturally.

And when you strategically utilize systems that free up more of your time, you are not only happier but more effective.

If you’ve realized hustle culture is dead, and are ready to embrace systems, strategy, and balance but just aren’t sure how to get there,

Comment “Strategy” below and I’ll send you a DM about how I can help you implement a better way.

The best version of you doesn’t require you to work harder… it requires you to dig deep, understand what you truly want, and set clear intentions and goals to get there.

We’re working smarter, not harder 💯

Feeling trapped by the belief that your worth is tied to your bank account?

In this , let’s break you free from that mindset…

Because shifting your perspective on self-worth can actually pave the way for greater financial success!

When you recognize and honor your value, you become more open to opportunities and confident in pursuing your goals.

So here are some powerful strategies to help you embrace this shift:

✨Practice Gratitude - Reflect on the non-material aspects of your life that bring you joy, like relationships and personal growth. A positive mindset attracts positive experiences.

✨Set Personal Goals - Focus on achievements that aren’t tied to income, such as learning a new skill or volunteering. These experiences can lead to new opportunities and connections.

✨Affirm Your Value - Create daily affirmations that celebrate qualities you admire in yourself, independent of your financial status. Confidence will always lead to better outcomes.

✨Surround Yourself with Positivity - Engage with people who uplift you and encourage a mindset of possibility, not scarcity. A supportive network can open doors you never imagined.

Your worth is tied to so much more than your finances, and recognizing this might be an unconscious message you’re telling yourself is a great first step to shifting.

Then reframing and refocusing can actually help you increase your income!

I’m excited for you to shift this! How will you embrace your true value today? 💖

Science is finally catching up to what God has known all along—what we focus on shapes our reality! Just like quantum superposition holds multiple possibilities until it’s observed, our faith calls unseen blessings into being. When we align with God’s promises, we step into the life He has prepared for us. ✨

What are you believing for today? Drop it in the comments so I can stand in faith with you! 🙏

The struggle is REAL and it’s time something changed!

I’ve been quiet on social media for awhile… ok that’s an understatement. I’ve been radio silent 🤣

And as a mentor to high ticket earners in the online space, I’d NEVER recommend or encourage radio silence because inaction is the death of your business.

But my silence hasn’t actually been inaction.

I’ve been quietly and methodically building systems that address the issues I notice so many face when it comes to earning an income online and in side “hustles.”

🚫 Life and business out of balance
🚫 Income not matching time investment
🚫 Chronic burnout
🚫 Misalignment in purpose and offerings
🚫 Difficulty staying consistent

With over 7 years experience online, watching people jump from opportunity to opportunity, searching for the vehicle that will finally set them free.

Others losing sight of why they started in the first place; their lives suffering because they invest so much of themselves without achieving the success they set out for in the first place.

And worse yet, feeling lost without direction or a clear path to their goals, even though they clearly know what is possible, seeing the “lucky” ones get there and wondering what they’re missing…

😞This deeply concerned me.

With more and more people making the switch from traditional paths to seeking online prosperity,

Why were so many failing? And what was different about those I was seeing breakthrough in our community of freedom seekers?

I couldn’t in good conscience promote financial freedom without addressing the core issues I saw being repeated over and over again and better understanding the mechanisms that were working for others.

So I put my head down and quietly went to work.

Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with my mentor who has created massive financial abundance, while also building the kind of life she deeply desired.

We’ve spent time together understanding how she got where she is, earning multiple 5 figure months consistently, and how we’ve supported others to do the same.

I used my experience and education to deeply consider how this was possible and how it could be duplicated over and over again.

Then, I thoughtfully and intentionally built systems to give people a CLEAR path to true and lasting success online.

It’s also been a journey of deep reflection on my own journey;

The pitfalls I faced, the people along the way that I wished I could have done more for, and the observation of the large community I now support in a meaningful and impactful way.

✨What’s resulted is nothing short of life changing and I’m so excited to be finally sharing it all publicly. ✨

I’ve started brand new social media accounts to mimic the journey of someone starting from scratch; an experiment to prove the system in real time.

These accounts have been sitting here idly, waiting for this exact moment to finally share a powerful new way to do business online.

The path so many have already been using in private containers to finally align their passion with their prosperity, and find balance in their lives and businesses,

Achieving the thing they set out for in the first place…

🎉TRUE AND LASTING SUCCESS ONLINE, and a life that matches the dream and vision they deeply desired.🎉

No more settling or struggling in how to do it, sacrificing parts of their lives or themselves in misalignment, and absolutely no more wondering “Why them and not me.”

We all have what it takes to bring our vision for our lives into present reality when we commit to a clear path and stay the course.

All that’s been missing is a system that’s grounded in real experience to achieve it.

I’m ecstatic to be able to finally gift this to everyone who’s been stuck in their online business journey and ready to make it happen.

This is years in the making and is the culmination of overcoming lots of obstacles so less people have to face them in the future.

So stay tuned because this is going to be an absolutely epic journey! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Understanding who you were and who you are becoming is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

I've realized over the years that in order to create the future I envision for myself,

It's imperative that I recognize where I've been.

This is where all of your beliefs about yourself are formed, and in turn, dictate the patterning and mechanisms you currently use.

And until self-awareness about the thoughts you think, and the actions you take become habitual,

You are still living in the past.

At times, that's been a hard pill to swallow. To realize that my thoughts and actions were controlling the results I was seeing in my life...

And that my awareness about those thoughts and actions was actually being stifled by my inability to acknowledge them,
OOF 😒

But the good news is, these thoughts and patterns get to shift.

Not by ignoring them or avoiding them,

But by being more honest with myself about their existence.

To take a deep dive into where they came from, why they exist, and where I've seen the consequences of them.

Lots of times, we want to avoid our own role in our suffering, or our inability to live the life we think we should be living.

To look outside of ourselves and shift the blame.

And that's super easy to do if you can find instances of abuse, being surrounded by wounded and unsafe people, and not having control over our own lives.

But as an adult, you get to honor that people may not have done the right thing,

While also honoring that you are free from that now (hopefully... if not, might be time to make some changes)

So to effectively stop living in the past and focus on the present and where you are going,

You'll have to visit the past at times, intentionally, in order to shift from a victim,

To empowered.

Take back control of your life by having the courage to see things for what they were, and how they might still be controlling you even though the hurt has stopped.

Otherwise, YOU perpetuate it.

The dust has settled and you get to finally feel the things you weren't able to so that you can actually break free.

Without this crucial step, the past is dictating your future.

And you deserve better ❤️
