Let me tell you a secret about me. 🤫

I don't have any exceptional skills. 👈

I don't come from a wealthy background.

Before I have started making money online I didn't have any followers on any social media platforms.

I've been however successfully running a blog and online design business for over eight years now. Running my website is my full-time job. It might sound cheesy, but I feel SO blessed every single morning when I wake up & open my laptop. 💻

I do work crazy hours from time to time tho, but running an automated online business allowed me to do so much already!

Let me share some of my favourite moments so far:

• I got to travel around New Zealand for almost two months while working from the back of a campervan.
• I enjoyed countless road trips with my fiance while still making money every step of the way.
• I got to spend a month in New York City pretending to be Carrie Bradshaw and writing my top posts in Manhattan's coffee shops.
• I supported myself fully through completing my BA degree. Even when I was spending all of my time writing my dissertation, my online business brought me enough income to pay my bills.
• I’ve bought a property.
• I get to spend as much time as I want to with my son, being a working mom is way easier when you're your own boss!

I created a life I don't need to escape from and I want you to do the same! 😆

Why am I telling you this?

Because I care. I'm done seeing young, talented people working hard making someone else's dreams come true. I'm done listening to my loved ones complaining about low paid jobs. I KNOW we can all make it happen & the answer is very simple...

What if we all start shaping our personalities bas

What if we all start shaping our personalities based on the things we love doing rather than what we hate? 🤔⁠
⁠
It seems that often many of us are so certain about the things that we hate.⁠
⁠
Defining yourself through NOs is simple. 🚫⁠
⁠
Tell me if this sounds like you:⁠
⁠
"I hate water. Swimming is not my kind of sport". Seriously? Or have you been just telling this to yourself for years?⁠
⁠
"I'm uncomfortable around strangers". Tell you what: we all are!⁠
⁠
"Yoga is not for me". How many sessions did you try until you gave up?⁠
⁠
"I hate broccoli". When was the last time you ever had any?⁠
⁠
"I'm not business-minded". How do you know? Have you ever run a business?⁠
⁠
Look, I do believe that setting your boundaries & being selective is OK. Yet it is important to reflect on yourself & honestly ask why do you keep stopping yourself? ⁠
⁠
Does it come from the bottom of your heart?⁠
⁠
Or does it come from fear? ⁠
⁠
You tell me...

Despite everything, when I get to experience natur

Despite everything, when I get to experience nature in all its beauty, when I get to fall in love with sunsets like these & warm summer nights, I can’t help, but believe in good.

No matter how overwhelming this year might be, I want to leave this as a reminder that there’s always a new & hopefully brighter day coming up after the dark.

We will get through this, it might not be the easiest, but we will. Don’t let this season stop you from what you were meant to be doing. It’s ok to feel down, but it’s also ok to continue going no matter what, you have every right to do so 🙌🏻

I know I've been a bit more quiet than usual aroun

I know I've been a bit more quiet than usual around here, but I'm working on some new things behind the scenes & wanted to share something you can expect to be launched in the next couple of weeks:⁠
⁠
• new WordPress theme specifically created with fierce women in mind (so excited to share this very soon!)⁠
• we're hiring some new team members to help us out, so you can expect a bunch of new products next season⁠
• I'm rebuilding my newsletter + working on some new freebies for my free resources library⁠
• new blog posts every week. if you have any topics in mind that would be useful for you, let me know in the comments⁠
• overall, we're adding a bit more structure into our work, I'll make sure to share what tools we've found useful on the blog⁠
⁠
This season of re-evaluating your business is not fun, I'm not gonna pretend it is. Yet somehow, I get goosebumps just thinking of where it's all heading! 💪🌟💻

You don't have to it all, just do what really matt

You don't have to it all, just do what really matters 👈⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'll never be a perfect mom or someone's wife, I've grown to accept it. I have no idea how to bake a cake, my home is messier than I'd like to admit and I've canceled family plans more than once because I was swamped with work.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Now I'm not saying this to somehow show this as an example, not at all. I know I can definitely improve in showing up for my boys & that's something I'm really working on.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
However, I know that I'm in a season of hustle right now and that's OK. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I might not be at home to make a homemade meal, but I'm all up for organizing a spontaneous picnic in the park after a busy day (thanks to @wolt.lietuva, of course! I'll be lost without them!). #reklama⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm also always there to put my son to bed, give him unlimited kisses when we're together, or take him on an adventure in the middle of the work-week, just because I'm free to schedule my own hours.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You see, I don't believe in being perfect. I believe in choosing what works for you & owning your decision.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I believe that we all have our personal mission & our kids, partners and everyone around us will be better off if we choose to follow that inner voice. ✨
