This photo was taken in 2012 of my 3 daughters and I during one of the many low points in our long term financial struggles.
My girls were 2, 6 and 8 at the time.
What followed was more than a decade of financial ups and downs — a roller coaster that felt like it never stopped.
I was holding on for dear life.
Every downturn hit hard mentally and emotionally.
Many times I was screaming inside, wishing the ride would finally stop.
But I kept rising.
I kept rising for my children, for my family, for my marriage, and because I wanted more for our lives.
What kept me going was doing things in certain ways every single day.
Movement and exercise.
Mindset work.
Emotional healing.
Time outdoors in nature.
Journalling.
Deep breathing.
Doing these things consistently — day after day, year after year — rewired my brain, regulated my nervous system and elevated my energy.
It built a strong inner foundation of calm, strength, energy and resilience.
That foundation became my anchor — the place I return to whenever life tries to shake me.
Because when your inner world becomes strong, life’s storms don’t break you the same way anymore.
They still come — but you meet them with more calm, more strength and more resilience.
That’s why I believe so deeply in building a strong foundation within yourself.
Not just for when life is easy — but especially for when it feels heavy.
Because the small daily choices you make and the doing of things in certain ways — the movement, the mindset work, the healing, the nature, the journalling, the breathing — quietly build something powerful inside you.
A woman who rises.
Again and again.
Not because life stopped being hard…
But because she became stronger within it.
And when a woman rises, the people around her rise too.
