Money used to terrify me. All through college, I was broke. And even after landing my first big-girl job in 2017, I could barely save $100. I was drowning in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and constantly stressed about making ends meet. I reached my breaking point in 2019, after quitting my job and moving to Atlanta, Georgia. I was living off my depleting savings and working overnight shifts at a retirement community, and my credit card debt hit $10,000.

Let’s set the scene: it’s 6:00 pm and you just got home from your 9-5 job, your body is begging you to rest. You don’t listen because, “real bosses don’t take days off” instead you stay up until 1:00am working on both your side business and creative passions. You fall asleep in the living room, get up at 5:00 am to workout and start your day all over again.
