I decided to untie myself from what I thought I needed to do to find what I wanted to do.

Thanks to my quater life crisis I found blogging and it changed my whole life.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A QUATER LIFE CRISIS? I SURE HAVE.

I got married right out of high school to my sweet redheaded husband and we headed off to the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.  We were dirt poor despite both working as much as we could while going to school. Which meant we had to take out student loans to pay for school. 

It didn't take me long to realize I wasn't cut out for nursing, and that I hated nursing school. I'm literally afraid of blood, needles, and any bodily fluid. I was going to go through with it anyway because I felt like I had to.

Then end of my first year of nursing school when signing up for classes for the following year I decided to take a peak into my student loan portal. I was shocked to see between my husband and I had already accumulated $50,000 of student loan debt. 

Cue the start of my quarter-life crisis. I realized that we were dirt poor and living a life we hate now, and even after forcing myself to go through nursing school (which I hated) we were still going to be dirt poor and living a life we hated for many years before life would finally be "good".

I couldn't do it. I couldn't live the next decade-plus of my life miserable so I set out to find another way. My way out was going to be blogging.

Once i started my blog I wasn't successful right away. I was lost. I had no clue what I was doing, or how to make my blog make money. But since I really didn't want to be a nurse I really wanted to make this work. I made a promise to myself that If I figured this out I would help people so no one would have to struggle like I was. Then I did the work.

To my surprise, I wasn't successful overnight.

  • Went back to school for digital marketing and business.

  • Took every course on digital marketing, and blogging I could afford.

  • Read every recommended business book, listened to every business podcast, and watched every motivating business video on the internet.

It was all worth it because, after just under a year of going all in I was able to quit my job, and after three years I was officially making six-figures as a blogger & content creator.

Now I keep sharing because life is better when you go all in on the things you love.

My vision for my blog has changed several times since I started but I think my current vision is my favorite yet.

The reason I continue to go all in as a blogger and content creator is that I want to show people that even if the odds are stacked against you, you can still pursue and achieve a life you love.

You don’t have to stay tied to the first choice you made. The only thing I want you to stay tied to is choosing your happiness every day because the life you are living is yours and no one else’s.
