From Overwhelmed Mom to Thriving Mompreneur
For years, I believed I had to choose—be a fully present stay-at-home mom or build a successful business.
It felt impossible to have both without sacrificing my kids or my sanity. But then, I discovered a way to do exactly that—and it changed everything.
Drowning in Motherhood
Between my velcro baby’s nonstop whines, my toddler’s endless snack requests, and my cold coffee making yet another trip to the microwave, I felt like I was disappearing. I adored being a stay-at-home mom, but honestly? I felt stuck.
When my kids started preschool, I knew it was time to do something for me. So, I chased a long-time dream and became a Board Certified Nutritionist. I built a small but steady practice working with local moms, and for the first time in forever, I felt like myself again.
Then, life threw a curveball—my 14-year marriage ended. In a move some called brave (and others called completely nuts), I took my kids on a four-year adventure across five countries. We wandered the alleys of Marrakech, cruised the Nile, and soaked in the magic of Andalusia.
The Business That Broke Me
While traveling, I attempted to take my nutrition practice online. Big mistake. I spent more time chasing clients than actually working with them, drowning in marketing strategies that barely worked. Social media, networking, engagement threads—I tried it all. Nothing stuck.
Eventually, I let my business go—relieved, but also completely defeated. Then, two years and one pandemic later, I remarried and welcomed baby #3. With the economy getting rough, I needed to bring in income, but I wasn’t willing to lose precious time with my kids.
So, I leaned into my love for writing and design, mixed it with my nutrition background, and started creating content for other nutrition professionals. I worked during naps, school hours, and weekends—all while pregnant with baby #4.
The Wake-Up Call
Just as things started clicking into place, my youngest arrived way too early. Suddenly, I was in full-blown survival mode—spending every waking hour in the NICU, recovering from an emergency C-section, and holding his tiny body while monitors beeped nonstop.
The loneliness was heavy, but it gave me something I rarely had: time to think. Between diaper changes and hospital meals, I researched how to build something sustainable—something that wouldn’t demand all my time but could still give my youngest two the same adventures their older siblings had.
The answer? Funnels.
What once felt intimidating turned out to be the missing piece. Funnels didn’t just simplify my business—they changed how I saw marketing. For the first time, I had control over my time, my work, and my income.
Now, I help other busy moms grow their businesses without running themselves into the ground. Funnels aren’t just a “nice-to-have.” They’re the key to scaling without the chaos.
And trust me, I know chaos.
