Two years ago, when my youngest was just a year old, I had a moment of clarity.
I realized I didn’t want to spend my days chasing clients, taking calls during dinner, and constantly stressing about hitting monthly quotas anymore.
At the time, I was working as an insurance agent, and while I was grateful for the work, I was also completely drained. I thought hustling harder was the only way to succeed.
But deep down, I wanted more.
I wanted work that paid the bills and gave me time to be present with my kids. I wanted to earn well without sacrificing my health or family life. I wanted a life that felt like mine.

🌱 The Shift to Freelancing
During my kid’s nap times, I started exploring other possibilities.
I picked up freelance projects here and there—writing, creating content, and video editing. I didn’t have a perfect niche, a fancy portfolio, or thousands of social media followers. But I had the willingness to learn and the courage to start where I was.
Slowly, freelancing became my way out of the chaos.
Today, I work less than 20 hours a week and make more than I ever did in insurance. My clients pay me for results, not hours. And most importantly, I’ve built a business that fits my life—not the other way around.
✨ Why I’m Sharing This With You
If you’ve been dreaming of freelancing but don’t know where to start—or you’re burned out from trying to do it all—I want you to know this:
You don’t need a perfect niche.
You don’t need a big audience.
You don’t even need to be an “expert.”
You already have skills people will pay for. And you can build a sustainable, cozy freelance business—one that gives you freedom, flexibility, and space to breathe.
