WHO AM I?

Hey mama, welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. 🌸

I’m Yari, just your average mom of three who loves Starbucks, comfy clothes, and big dreams.

My life has been anything but ordinary, though.. pregnant at 16, kicked out of the house, faced financial struggles, and oh yeah, fighting thyroid cancer (because apparently, I like a challenge 🤷‍♀️).

For a while, I felt like life was just happening to me. I was exhausted, living paycheck to paycheck, and barely holding on. Then I found digital marketing.

At first, it felt like a joke and six months of zero sales had me ready to throw in the towel. But one day, I got that first sale, and it was like a little spark lit up in me.

Fast forward, and now my business has made over $30.3k. 🥹

But you know what? The money isn’t even the best part. It’s showing my kids what’s possible when you believe in yourself. It’s proving to myself that I’m more than just a “mom who’s trying.” And it’s helping other moms do the same.

If you’re a mom who’s dreaming of something more, you can do this too. You don’t need to have it all figured out, you don’t need to be perfect, and you definitely don’t need anyone else’s approval.

Some quick tips from one mom to another ↓

✨ Start messy. Perfection is overrated.

✨ Find 30 minutes a day to work on your dream.

✨ Celebrate every little win. It could be a like, a comment, a baby step.

✨ Surround yourself with people who believe in you (even if that’s just me right now!).

We’re all just figuring it out as we go, and that’s okay.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start, let this be it. You’re capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for.

So, what’s a dream you’re holding onto? DM me or drop it in the comments. I’d love to hear all about it.

... Read moreBeing a mom can often feel overwhelming, especially when faced with adversity. Many moms find themselves juggling family responsibilities, financial pressures, and personal ambitions. Yari’s story is a testament to resilience and empowerment. With her experience of overcoming thyroid cancer and later thriving in digital marketing, she becomes a beacon of hope for other moms. In today's world, where many are looking for flexible work opportunities, digital marketing presents a viable path for stay-at-home moms seeking to contribute financially while maintaining family commitments. Starting out can be challenging, as many encounter setbacks similar to Yari’s initial struggle of six months without sales. To truly succeed, it’s essential to embrace a learning mindset, where starting messy is not a setback but a stepping stone. Celebrating small wins fosters motivation and encourages persistent effort towards larger goals. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can amplify your journey; whether it’s friends, family, or online groups, having cheerleaders can make all the difference. For moms aspiring to create their own success stories, it’s important to remember that you don’t need to have everything figured out upfront. Every little action counts, and it’s about progress, not perfection. As Yari emphasizes, believing in yourself and what you can achieve is crucial. This story serves as an inspiration to every mom out there: you hold the power to chase your dreams and prove to your children the beauty of believing in oneself.

i was definitely tempted to buy it because, well, I'm a total Booker & Kendall [couple name] fan. You know, when those rumors of them getting back together were swirling? Yeah, that's when I snagged this for Hailey (my phone, not the actual Hailey ). Honestly, the case itself is decent

I’m 30 and I have no idea who I am
I wrote this as I looked at my life and saw that I have everything I wanted but I hate how I look and feel about myself. Sometimes I don’t know if I can win with how my brain works. I am an echo of voices I cannot distinguish which one is my own People make me feel like I'm doing everythin
