I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding through this transitionary period in my life. SO much has happened - let me try to fill you in 💖
Many of you know: I came to the digital space to learn how others were making an income online so that I could stay home with my son. I am a flight attendant full time and love my job, and spent 13 years working my way up, only to be smacked in the face with motherhood and wanting to be a present mama. My job offered a 1 year extended maternity leave, which I wanted to take.... only if I could figure out how to replace my salary 😔
So I began waterhosing information - staying up until 3 am to figure out digital marketing, funnels, content creation, affiliate marketing, social media management, AI - a lot of which I've tried to include the basics of in the free courses of this community.
I felt trapped, devastated, worried about putting all of my eggs into one basket. But through learning SO MUCH this past year, I transitioned from marketing other peoples' products into creating my own foundational layer business program for Christian entrepreneurs who want to build an online business AND Honor God doing so. We just completed the 6 week Beta and I'm putting the finishing touches on it - and it's been such an incredible experience 🙌
So when my job emailed me asking me if I want to re-certify now that I've been off a year... this time, I felt free.
I had a choice. I haven't missed a single moment with my son. My husband can drop down to three days of work because of my business (so we don't have to put him in daycare). SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. ALL BECAUSE: "He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28
God has been working this entire time. With the settlement of our new contract, my company offered for me to come back at full seniority, pay reinstated, flight benefits to anywhere in the world, full healthcare coverage, and flexibility to work as much or as little as I want (no minimums)... and I couldn't pass that up.
Unironically, this happened same day they laid off 1,750 employees 🥺 I have co-workers who are FREAKING OUT because their job feels uncertain. But this time: I am not afraid. His peace has overwhelmed me because I am more than a conquerer through Him (Romans 8:37). I know how to help my family and how to help others. I know just how much learning these skills can change a person's life. I know so much now that I didn't know before...
And now I'm equipped and READY to reach the nations both digitally AND physically in order to accomplish His purposes for my life.
ALL THAT TO SAY 😅
I've been in the process of re-certifying and trying to juggle what this new phase looks like: motherhood, entrepreneurship, and traveling. But I've never been more fulfilled 🙏
Now that Phase One is complete, I'm brainstorming Phase Two AND ALSO!
Brainstorming how to leverage what I know about travel and bringing that into the digital space...
Brainstorming starting a new social media page or two...
AND!
Booked a trip to take my son to see the cherry blossoms in DC this weekend. Cherry blossoms symbolize life, renewal, and the beauty of nature. Here's to celebrating the life, renewal, and beauty that ONLY HE PROVIDES throughout the many transitions in our lives 🌸
HERE'S TO A NEW CHAPTER OF HIS ABUNDANCE!!! 💖
