The day before I headed back to work from my maternity leave I literally felt like my heart was caving into my chest. I couldn't stop crying, could barely catch my breathe, and felt completely hopeless. I couldn't fathom putting my brand new baby boy in the care of someone else while I worked for 50-60 hours a week. Quitting my job was not an option since we are a dual income family. Unfortunately, Googling "work from home" jobs got me nowhere. One thing remained, I couldn't and wouldn't accept the fact that this was "how it has to be." #nowaynohow
.
.
I returned to work the next day and cried every day after. So many of my mom friends said it would get easier but that wasn't the case for me. It only got harder. MUCH HARDER. I lost my passion for my career, felt over-worked and underpaid, counted down every minute of my work day, lived for the weekends, and became depressed every Sunday evening knowing it was going to start all over again. This was NO way to live and I knew this wasn't the life God intended for me and my family.
.
.
The only hope of me not going into a serious postpartum depression was the fact I started working out and eating healthy to lose the nearly 60 lbs of my pregnancy weight. #darnpizzaandmacncheese Two things I looked forward to every day were my workouts and 6:00pm to end my work day. DING! THEN THE LIGHTBULB WENT OFF. I knew people made a career of online coaching to help others get healthier and happier using the same programs and products I was using. The best part was the programs worked (I've lost ALL of my baby weight and am in the BEST shape of my life!) and I was in love with them! I have always had a servants heart (I was a teacher for 3 years!) and loved helping others. So, I began to daydream about me being able to help other moms and make this online health and fitness work for me and my family, too.

In January of 2015, I QUIT my corporate job to be a full time online coach and have since surpassed my corporate career's income. #thankyouJESUSHowever, one thing worth more than any paycheck is the FREEDOM of time I now have to live the life I never knew existed. #lifebydesign
