not your average success story.
high school drop out and teen mom who struggled for many years leading up to my rise.

that watching them build businesses and sell them would teach me so much that would mold my future and give me so much vision for big dreams. 
fast forward to the age of 16 when i decided having a full time job was more important that graduating high school. 

at 18, i had been with my boyfriend (now husband) for almost 1 year and decided to sell my first car for $1,500, pack a suitcase, and move to california with him where the true life adventure would begin. 

i never really fit in, as a child we don't understand the differences or mindsets we have will define who we become as an adult. 
i always had a different thought process on things and when i look back on all the things even as a child that crushed me it truly defined not only the woman i became but the mother, the wife, and the leader  i am today.

i was born march 29, 1989 in tulsa oklahoma. 
we were living there in a little travel trailer while my dad was in bible college.
after he finished that we moved to arizona where i spent most of my childhood. 
my dad went on to become a firefighter and my parents started many different businesses in our small town.  

motherhood is the first season where i felt like i found myself. 
my true self. the happy and secure version of me. 
i spent my early motherhood days exploring any place that was free, i relied on government assistance with the dream of being able to buy my own groceries.

now having 4 boys and being in the position after what felt like failure after failure helping other mamas and inspiring them to follow their dreams while being able to put their babies first is what i was able to build a career with. 

mom the builder

my husband and i were getting divorced, i felt like everything i worked towards was crashing down. we were in so much debt with the "things" we had that we had NO TIME to even use them. 
i did what i swore i would NEVER do and i partnered with a direct sales company (more on this story coming to the blog/podcast). 
FAST FORWARD 6 years and that was the best decision i could have ever made for our life.  we gained the time to pour into us, we gained the flexibility to put us and our family first, work second. we grew our family and moved back to the place we both grew up to raise them, all of which was NEVER an option prior to this business.

in 2012 i started a wood furniture business from a small diy idea on pinterest to build wood framed mirrors. that business turned into a custom wood furniture business and evolved so much within the first 11 months i was flown out to new york by  bethenny frankel to be a guest on her talk show. 

from that moment i had clarity on what could expand my little furniture building business i did out of my garage in my bare feet with my babies running around me. 
i started reaching out to celebrities i was inspired by.
that ended up turning into a massive success (more this story to coming to the blog/podcast).
over the next 5 years i built that business, literally with my bare hands and while from the outside i was filming on tv shows and building furniture for celebrities on the inside i was broken and my home life was crumbling.
