This blog is going to be about me, the battles I’ve endured and overcome. It will probably be raw at times, unfiltered, and most likely a bit scattered. Honestly, who isn’t, right? A little ADHD, a little mindset and gratitude, a little mental health, and a little bit woo-woo. But that’s how I’m designed, which is another blog post all in of itself! A jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
I started this blog because I’m in a new season of my life. I went from full-time working single mom to almost empty nest overnight. I felt I lost my purpose because the kids have flown the coop. No more doctor/dentist/eye appointments to schedule. No more parent-teacher conferences, school plays, extra curriculars. No more “mom” needed. So I threw myself into work.
Work. I helped a man take his company from a single employee (me), being a sole proprietor, making just over a million a year, to incorporating, adding six other employees at the peak of business, and doing over 11 million a year in sales. I built a reputation for being efficient and a bit “difficult” at times. But that’s when it came to money and making sure, we were being billed correctly, not overpaying, and making money. After eight years with this company I also knew I wanted more. I wasn’t sure what that was but I was afraid to make a move. Why? Comfort. I was making good money, had unlimited PTO, and all of us at work got along. But after nine and a half years, the universe pushed me. (Getting a little woo-woo here)
So what happened, you may ask? Stay tuned for the next blog of Resilient and Real.
