Today, I want to take you on a journey through my experience of juggling full-time work, single parenthood, and building my online business from scratch. It hasn't been easy, but it's been incredibly rewarding. So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, get cozy, and let's dive into my story.
Last September marked a significant turning point in my life. I unexpectedly found myself facing unemployment after being laid off from my job at a nonprofit organization. As a single parent, this news hit me hard. I was suddenly faced with the challenge of providing for my children while navigating uncertain financial waters.
In the midst of this uncertainty, I stumbled upon the world of digital marketing. It seemed like a promising avenue – flexible, creative, and full of potential. I started small, dipping my toes into the waters with a $7 course. However, as I delved deeper into the course, I realized that the upsells and additional costs were beyond my budget. It didn't feel right to promote something I couldn't afford myself. So, I decided to pivot once again, this time with the $497 MRR course. I learned so much but realized quickly that I wanted the focus of my own business to be on creating my own digital products.
And thus, my journey into the world of online business began. But as I immersed myself in the hustle, I quickly realized that I was spreading myself too thin. The constant pressure to create content, coupled with the demands of full-time work and single parenthood, was taking its toll. I knew I needed to find a better way to manage my time and energy.
So, I set out to create tools that would streamline my workflow and maximize my efficiency. The result? The MasterPlan Marketing Planner – a game-changer for busy entrepreneurs like myself. With all my posts, captions, and analytics neatly organized in one place, I was able to plan and strategize with ease.
But I didn't stop there. I knew there had to be a smarter way to handle content creation. That's when I discovered ChatGPT – an AI-powered tool that revolutionized my process.
No more endless hours spent wracking my brain for ideas. With ChatGPT by my side, I was able to automate the heavy lifting and focus on what truly mattered – growing my business. Once I mastered ChatGPT, I put it into a guide to help others learn how to use this amazing tool to help with their businesses!
But even with these tools in hand, I still found myself struggling to keep up with the relentless pace of social media. Posting two reels a day, along with stories and scheduled posts, was draining me both physically and mentally. That's when I made the decision to scale back – to focus on quality over quantity.
And it was during this time that I stumbled upon what would become my greatest asset – Pinterest. With its evergreen nature and enduring reach, Pinterest offered a welcome respite from the constant churn of social media. With just an hour a week, I was able to schedule 28 pins and watch as my traffic and sales soared.
Now, as a single mom with a full-time job and a thriving online business, I'm on a mission to share my insights with others. That's why I've created a mini-course dedicated to mastering Pinterest for business. In three transformative sessions, I'll walk you through everything you need to know to harness the full potential of Pinterest and take your business to new heights.
From optimizing your profile and crafting engaging pins to leveraging Pinterest's unique search engine capabilities, this course covers it all. Plus, I'll provide you with Canva pin templates to streamline the design process and ensure your pins stand out from the crowd.
So if you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by social media and burning the candle at both ends, it's time to make a change. Join me on this journey from burnout to balance, and let's unlock the full potential of Pinterest together.

After a decade of single parenting, navigating the twists and turns of a tricky divorce, and tackling the hurdles of PTSD, I was feeling pretty wiped out. Plus, dealing with inflation made it a real challenge to juggle putting food on the table and covering the mortgage. So, I decided to dip my toes into some side gigs to bring in some extra cash. I stumbled upon an awesome course that spilled all the digital marketing secrets, and now I'm thrilled to be sharing the know-how, helping others set up, launch, and rock their own online businesses!
