Do you have a minute? I’ll tell you a little about my story in hopes that somewhere in there you will find hope that you can build the life you are hoping to create. In the photo on the left (below)  is a lady who just had her 3rd baby and lost her dad within 6 weeks of each other. In the depths of grief, I ate to find comfort and gained over 50 lbs. I was embarrassed to see photos of myself with my beautiful children, had very little energy and generally felt down.

At the same time, I was desperate to find a way for our family to have time together. My husband worked around the clock and I was gone many hours from the kids most days of the week.  We had no room for error like a sick kid or home repair. Something inside me gave me that nudge to not give up on myself or our family.  

I had been searching everywhere to find a solution that would make it possible to create finances and flexibility in our lives.  When I also lost 55 pounds in the process, well…that was amazing!  I feel like myself again, I have energy to be the mom I want to be and my husband looks at me like he did when we were dating!

The amazing part is that not only is it a solution to reclaim our health, it also gives us an opportunity to generate finances in a meaningful and flexible way so that we can center our lives around what matters most.  It has taken grit and pull ourselves up by the bootstraps at times, but having my husband home for dinner and knowing how much it means to our boys when he is there at scouts with them is SO worth it!
