Six years of higher education, accumulating degrees and certifications – all for a 'safe path' that left me feeling trapped, anxious, and buried under $100,000 in debt. If you've ever felt the suffocating pressure of living paycheck to paycheck, struggling daily, and having someone else dictate your worth, this episode is for you.

Join me as I share the raw truth about leaving the conventional path behind to build an online business. This wasn't about proving anyone wrong; it was about fighting for financial freedom, reclaiming full control over my life, and finally living on my own terms. Discover how I navigated the fear, shed external expectations, and redefined what 'success' truly means when you're driven by a relentless desire for autonomy.
