Have you ever been asked to do the one thing you dreaded most?
As a young adult, I did all the things that I thought a “responsible person” would do. I got a degree in Business, a well paying job with benefits and a 401K. When my husband and I started a family, I launched my first business so I could stay at home with my twin boys. And as a young mom I fully embraced that season of life.
Our suburban life in the Dallas appeared ideal with the SUV, a beautiful home, and my thriving photography business.
As ideal as our life was on the outside, I had lost myself in the season of motherhood at times, and I knew in my heart that it was not the life that we were meant to live. It looked good on paper but the pace was not sustainable for our family or our marriage.
Despite the fact that everyone thought we were nuts, we decided to do the very thing I dreaded most. In 2021, we left the only life we had ever known and moved 1600 miles across the country to start over.
When we decided to make the leap there was so much uncertainty. We did not know the future of my husband’s job. We were taking the boys away from everything they had ever known, and I would have to start my business over. However, we decided to let faith not fear be our compass!
Today we are building the life of our dreams. My boys not only survived but are thriving and would never go back. With a background in marketing and a decade in the photography business, I know how to help entrepreneurs shine online and share their talents with the world. The opportunity to rebuild my business allowed me to transition into a role as business coach and personal brand strategist.
Learning to pivot and not panic is a game changer in life and business. It will set you free! Choosing the adventure has allowed me to step into my purpose, build a beautiful business and a beautiful life in the mountains of Boise.
