Broke mom checking in

My back is literally breaking from this job. I love my clients and I love helping others, but I think it’s time to help myself. Road to earning money through here.

... Read moreBeing a single mom is a challenging yet rewarding journey that many can relate to. Juggling work responsibilities and personal challenges often leads to fatigue and burnout. It's not uncommon for mothers like Abby, who love to support and help others, to put their own needs last. In a world where financial stability is crucial, it’s essential to recognize when it's time to shift the focus back to oneself. Embracing self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity. By investing in her own well-being, a mother can regain energy, allowing her to be more effective in her professional role while also nurturing her family. Financial independence is another critical aspect of the journey. Many single moms face the daunting task of managing household expenses with limited resources. Exploring various income opportunities, whether through freelancing, starting a small home-based business, or enhancing existing skills, can provide not only financial relief but also a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, connecting with a community of like-minded individuals can be incredibly empowering. Support groups and online forums provide a platform for sharing experiences, tips, and encouragement. Together, single moms can inspire each other to take control of their lives and secular facing fears related to finances and time management. Ultimately, prioritizing self-care and seeking financial opportunities can transform the challenges of motherhood into an uplifting narrative—one of strength, resilience, and empowerment. Every step taken towards financial freedom is a victory worth celebrating.

I was obsessed with body checking.
You start healing by creating different habits or stopping current ones. You are not going to be perfect and that’s okay. The more awareness you have the more success you will have on this journey. Be nice to you. #bodydysmorphia #bodyimagehealing #binging #foodnoise #fitness

Why I Keep $0 in My Checking Account
I don’t “save what’s left” — I spend what’s planned. That’s why I keep $0 in my checking account by the end of the week. Every Friday when I get paid, I sit down for 10 minutes and move money with intention: → I cover any bills coming before the next paycheck → I send what I need to savings,

An animated woman in a purple dress sits sadly on a couch, hand on her head, eyes closed, with a phone nearby. Overlay text reads: "Stop stressing over someone who won't even text you to see if you're alright." This conveys the message of self-worth and not chasing unreciprocated effort.
💌 Don’t chase what’s not checking for you..
You deserve effort, not silence. 📵 Someone who truly cares won’t leave you questioning your worth. Protect your peace, reclaim your time, and stop begging for bare minimum energy. 💅🏻🚫 #Lemon8challenge #chatGPTprompts #protectyourpeace #selfrespectmatters #emotionalmaturity
