If you've been waiting for a perfect moment, this is it. I'm just a twice divorced, GenX, corporate dropout learning digital marketing and turning my free time into freedom.

You don't need to have it all figured out to start... just the courage to begin.

Ready to start your own journey? Let's grow together 🩷 #makemoneyonline #earnfromyourphone #sidehustle #onlineincome

2/17 Edited to

... Read moreStarting a side hustle can feel intimidating, especially if you’re transitioning from a traditional corporate career like I did. But the key is to take that first small step—whether it’s learning digital marketing basics or exploring ways to earn from your phone. In my experience, I realized that you don’t have to have a perfect plan or be an expert to begin. The digital world offers vast opportunities for those willing to learn and adapt. Using hashtags like #makemoneyonline and #sidehustle helps you tap into communities of like-minded people who share tips and support. Platforms today make it easier than ever to start earning from your smartphone, shifting from fixed office hours to more flexible schedules that suit your lifestyle. What changed everything for me was embracing the mindset that progress beats perfection. I dedicated small pockets of free time to build my skills, experiment with marketing strategies, and gradually create sustainable income streams. This approach helped me replace my corporate dependency with online income that offers greater freedom and personal fulfillment. If you see this as your sign to finally start your side hustle, remember it’s about courage and consistency. Surround yourself with supportive networks, keep learning, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Your journey to financial independence and freedom starts exactly where you are now.

Where my vanilla girlies at? I’ve been majorly influenced. These ALLLLL smell amazing and I cannot wait to start using them. My hubby thought I was slightly cray cray when I reached for the mens body wash and deodorant. And what’s crazy, there stuff is less expensive! What the heck?! 🤣

I find it difficult to finish projects so I have a million half done ones and I can’t wait to add a million more ! Art is about inspiration and finding something new everyday and so I’m not mad at myself about it and you shouldn’t be disappointed in yourself either !! #crochetinspiration #croche

There have been SOO many days in the past that I’ve just considered “over” at 3pm. Maybe it’s because I was hungover and didn’t get out of bed until 12pm. Or because I just woke up and started doomscrolling for too long… I always just think I wasted the day so I’m going to continue to feel bad/guil

States that I’ve been to✨
I saw this template on my Fyp and thought it was such a fun thing to share! Most of my states along the east coast were all from one super long roadtrip essentially from Florida to Maine! I also have a keychain from every state I’ve been to! I can’t wait to collect more one day! 🫶🏻✨

Why I don’t wait to announce pregnancy
The rule of thumb is wait til 12 weeks or the first trimester is over, that’s what everyone says. And that’s a great idea because “they” say your risk of miscarrying is less after you get to the second trimester but I want to offer a different perspective since I’ve been on both ends of the spectru
