A little over 5 years ago my family and I started on a journey that would change everything for us. In the Summer of 2014, I had finally had enough of living in survival mode so I started to take action. I started by reading the Power of Positive Thinking and following a few intentional living influencers on social media. Then I focused on decluttering my house, and before I knew it I was budgeting and knocking out debt. Fast forward another baby and a few months later, I was waking up before my kids to practice a morning routine, I was exercising, and actually enjoying healthy food for the first time in my adult life. Life was getting simpler, my marriage was improving, I had a crazy amount of free time, and for once I could actually think about my goals for the future…starting a business, retiring my husband early, and homeschooling our three daughters.
I had slowly broken free from survival mode…keyword being “slowly”. This didn’t happen overnight, it wasn’t a magical quick fix, but it worked. I put one foot in front of the other, day-after-day, for 5 years to get to the place I am today; a debt-free, minimalist, business-owner, homeschooler, personal-development obsessed, happy soul.
In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my story, plus what I wish someone would have told me at the beginning of my journey.
In this episode, I share about:
My journey through personal development, minimalism, debt-freedom, time management, goal setting, and more
How all of these topics tie into each other
Why growth is so important
The advice I wish someone would have given me when I first started
Memorable Quotes:
“Day one or one day…you decide.”
