    That Five Dollars He Left On the Dresser!

    In this heartfelt episode, I share the true story behind the $5 bill that changed  the course of my life. As a young mother with three children and one on the way, I woke up to find that my husband at that time had left for work and left $5 on the dresser for the day. At that  moment, I felt completely defeated, overhelmed, and unsure of how I was going to make it.  But that moment lit a fire in me that I didnt know I had. That $5 became the turning poing that led me to discover my purpose and passion. It was the beginning of my journey of what would later become a successful business built on strength, faith and a love for children. This episode is about struggle, resilience, and finding your calling when life forces you to rise.
