I'm smarter and more confident than I was. I've learned to embrace who I am, trust my instincts, I recognize red flags, and walk away. That’s a very important one, I used to think I could fix everything and everyone. I live with more purpose and it’s so much fun. I no longer care what others think, and I love people and being social. I’m not afraid to be silly and enjoy life. Plus, I still look great because I feel great. Sometimes it’s a struggle, but I now know everything always works out.

I practice Jiujitsu and yoga to stay strong, flexible, and clear-minded. Staying active helps me handle challenges without sweating the small stuff. I believe in keeping the curiosity of a child, always learning and setting new goals keeps you young. Being a mom reminds me to see the world with fresh eyes. I love being a fun mom while teaching my son to be a kind and responsible human. It’s utterly enlightening and exciting to watch your child grow and learn.

I’d first donate 5 to 10% to charities that support animals, children, and single mothers. I grew up not being financially stable and started my financial education later in life, so I’m focused on securing our future. I’d invest $20,000 into retirement and life insurance policies, pay off my truck and put the rest in a high yield savings account for some security. My goal is to break the living paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, and support my son through college.
