I’ve Been Where You Are
And I’m going to show you the way out
The Beginning: Survival Mode
I grew up rough. My stepdad hated me and was mentally and physically abusive. My mom pretended not to know. They did cocaine in the house, and around the time I turned 12, he left.
Then came the next boyfriend. Cocaine turned into meth. I raised myself and my younger sister. My mom was never home, and when they were, they were either cooking drugs or fist fighting in our living room.
At 17, I got pregnant. I got my GED and was forced to remove myself and my baby from that hell. The baby’s dad joined the Army to get away from me. I jumped from couch to couch with my infant son, completely alone.
“No one understands until they live it.”
Building a Life from Nothing
At 18, I got a Section 8 apartment. It wasn’t much, but it was ours and it was safe. At 20, I was working three jobs – anything to make ends meet and give my son what I never had.
I saved every penny I could. I researched USDA loans. I bought land and built a house at 20 years old with no family help, no husband, no safety net. Just me, my baby, and a determination to break every cycle that was handed to me.
“I had no mentor. I had no guidance. Everyone I loved either died or abandoned me. I figured it all out alone because I had to.”
The Loss That Changed Everything
When I was 27, my dad died. He was the only person I felt truly loved me, and losing him destroyed me mentally. I realized I needed a change – not just for me, but for my son.
So I did something that terrified me: I joined the Navy Reserve. I left my child with his dad’s family so I could better our lives. In the military, I realized I could be so much more than I ever thought possible.
But I was torn. Torn between doing what I thought I should do for my son and doing what I wanted for myself. When training was over, I fell right back into my mundane life in this stupid small town as a struggling single mom.
History Repeating – And Breaking
When my oldest was 10, I got pregnant again – this time with someone I thought was safe. Finally, someone who would stay. My youngest was 7 months old when his father abandoned us, just like everyone else had.
Once again, I was completely alone. But this time, I was different. I was stronger. I knew I could survive anything because I already had.

Where I Am Now
Today, my oldest is 24. My youngest is 12. Mentally, I’m okay. I’m strong. I’m independent. I can do anything I put my mind to. I’m smart and driven.
But I’ll be honest with you – I still feel stuck sometimes. I still lack guidance in some areas. I know I have so much to offer the world if I’m just given the chance.
And that’s exactly why I’m building this.
“I’m not some guru who ‘made it’ and forgot what struggle feels like. I’m building this WITH you, not from some ivory tower. I’m in the trenches too – just a few steps ahead on the path.”
Why Momma Freedom Exists
I created Momma Freedom because I was the younger version of you. I needed this program when I was 17, 18, 20, 27. I needed someone who got it. Someone who had been there. Someone who could show me the practical skills no one teaches you.
I don’t have a fancy degree in psychology. I have a PhD in surviving impossible circumstances and still building a life worth living. I have a master’s in figuring it out when no one is there to help.
And now I’m going to share every single thing I learned the hard way so you don’t have to learn it alone.
What I Believe
- Your past doesn’t define your future – your choices do
- You don’t need permission to build a better life
- Practical skills matter just as much as mindset
- You deserve support, not judgment
- Being a single mom doesn’t mean being alone
- Freedom isn’t about being perfect – it’s about being capable
- You’re stronger than you know, and you don’t have to prove it to anyone
What Makes Me Different
I’m not going to sugarcoat things or sell you toxic positivity. I’m not going to tell you to “manifest abundance” while you’re trying to figure out how to pay rent.
I’m going to teach you how to change your own oil, build a resume that gets responses, budget when money is tight, set boundaries with toxic people, and believe in yourself when no one else does.
I’m going to show you the roadmap I wish I’d had. The one that covers mindset AND money AND practical life skills. The one written by someone who actually gets it.
Because you deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to thrive. And I’m going to help you get there.
