Years ago, I was working in a stressful job that I absolutely hated as a 911 dispatcher. Shifts were long and pay wasn't much, but for this college drop out it was the best I could do. My husband and I began to grow apart and eventually separated. It was a really dark time for our family. How do you choose between paying your bills and keeping your family together? I knew that my husband and I were growing apart because we never saw each other. How can you work on a relationship that way?

Something had to give.

My mom worked as a freelance graphic designer and was constantly telling me about job opportunities working from home. The only thing that “work from home” brought to mind was scams, sales and multi-level marketing — and I definitely wasn't interested in any of those. Once my marriage came to a breaking point, I decided to just go for it. After all, what did I have to lose? Our home was going into foreclosure and my husband and I were headed to divorce.

I quit my job and my husband and I began to work on reconciliation. The problem? He was pissed that I quit my job and thought I was absolutely nuts. I can't say that I totally blame him, but I knew deep within my soul that this was what God wanted me to do — and I had to go out on blind faith.

Six months in, I landed my first BIG client and started making MORE than I did at my old job. I was thrilled and for the first time in my life, started to think that just maybe I can create a life that I absolutely love.

Fast forward six years and EVERYONE wanted to know what I was doing. I was happy, successful and working 100% from home without selling a single thing. I had invited a few women over so that I could show them what I was doing when it occurred to me…what if I created a course and taught mass amounts of people how to do exactly what I'm doing?

It was then that My VA School was born!
