I did everything “right”. 🥲

I went to college. I got 2 degrees. I got the career. I got married. I got the house. Then what?

I took one good look around at my job and realized there was nobody who I looked up too. There was nobody living the life in envisioned for myself.

My coworkers were overworked, stressed, complaining,unhappy, unhealthy, broke, stuck, complacent. Even the ones who had been there 20+ years. I was in shock.

Why would it be any different for me? I knew I had to do something different. I didn’t want to beg to get my 2 week PTO approved. We were always short nurses so it was never a good time to take off.

And also 2 weeks off? For the entire year? That didn’t sit well with me either 😅

We’ve been conditioned to think we have to grow up and get a job and live to pay bills. No thanks. Not me.

Yesterday I was reflecting on the $1600 I made in one day while exploring Minnesota. I didn’t have to clock in. I didn’t have to be overworked and stretched out at the hospital. $1600 made from the comfort of our RV while we travel. I feel like I made it .

I used to think making money online was only for the famous , influencers or out going social butterflies. WRONG!!!! Freelance digital marketing is for the t regular people like me and you. I ran into this online last year and I just kept getting this gut feeling I just had to learn what this was about. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I did it.

I bought the course and learned digital marketing + affiliate marketing from scratch. I actually did it while working full time. I wanted just extra cash to supplement nursing so I wouldn’t have to work overtime or be at the hospital any extra.

I didn’t know I would scale to have $500-$3000 days. I didn’t expect to have a side hustle that out earned my nursing career. I didn’t expect to make enough money to walk away from nursing and be able to travel for months. 😭😭😭😭

It’s been the biggest blessing. I’ve gotten so mah messages from you guys telling me how you hate working 2 jobs or barely making enough to make it to the end of the month. How you don’t feel happy at work. I get it . I was there. But it was up to me to get me out of that space.

It’s up to YOU to get YOU out of that space.

I know I over share a lot but it’s because I wish I would of had someone who told me these things. Making extra $$ online isn’t hard. Learning new things isn’t hard when you have the right training.

Change is possible. If it wasn’t for me taking a blind and very scared leap I would of never added over 205,000 to our savings. A side hustle did that for my family.

If you want to learn more about how you can get access to the same course for about $100 and start the trainings at your pace comment READY and I can message you or you can fill out the contact form on my bio!

... Read moreIn today’s fast-paced world, many professionals feel trapped in traditional jobs, leading to dissatisfaction and burnout. Transitioning from a stable career to explore new avenues like freelance digital marketing has become a empowering choice for many. Digital marketing offers flexible opportunities, allowing individuals to earn substantial incomes while embracing a lifestyle centered around freedom and travel. Freelancing in digital marketing not only provides the flexibility to work from anywhere but also allows you to scale your efforts. Many have experienced significant financial growth, often earning more than their previous full-time jobs. The beauty of this shift is that anyone can learn the successful skills required, regardless of background or previous experience. Moreover, with online resources and courses available at affordable rates, it’s never been easier to break into this field. Training can be done at your own pace, making it a viable option for anyone looking for breathing room from the exhausting grind of nine to five jobs. Stories of individuals who have made this leap, as outlined in the article, can serve as inspiration for those still in the traditional workforce. Indeed, taking a chance on new skills can reclaim control over your financial future and lifestyle choice. Self-reflection is crucial in this journey. Assessing what makes you happy and where you want your career to go can help in making informed decisions. Many have turned toward intrinsic motivations, choosing passions over conventional financial security. The digital realm is ever-evolving, and aligning yourself with these opportunities can lead to both personal and financial successes. By investing time in learning digital marketing, individuals can find pathways to not just make ends meet but to thrive in life, financially and emotionally.

how I lost 14 lbs by eating right, not less!
I eat more now than I did on the left — I had a bad relationship with food and I was lazy when it came to cooking. I used to be one of those girls that would count calories, eat “fat free”, wait until 4/5pm to have a bite of food… I would be so hungry I’d binge, understandably. I would feel so
