After getting a promotion to become a part of the leadership team along with a raise, life was good. One day my boss pulled me aside and said that the business wasn't doing well and our time was coming to an end. I couldn't believe it. My first big girl job was over.

I immediately filed for unemployment and went on the job hunt looking for another creative job to throw myself into. I was quickly hired as a social media manager at a printing company. Within months of being hired, the creative department (aka me and two others) were let go. What are the freakin' odds.

There I was again, without a job but this time was different. We were shocked to find out that we were indeed PREGNANT with our first baby and I was still without a job. My husband at the time was just beginning to get his feet wet at the car dealership and we really needed two incomes.

At that point, I knew I had to just sit, feel all the emotions and pray.  

It was revealed to me that I was simply afraid to go all in with my own company.

I had been hiding behind other companies to protect myself from the fear of failure. What if I put my all into my business and it flopped? What if I wasn't successful? What if I couldn't provide for my new and growing family?

That's when it hit me. I was not the exception. I was watching my friends, mentors and others I followed on Instagram step into their dreams and cast all fears. It was working for them so why couldn't it work for me too?
