Everyone has a story . A story that explains why we do what we do . Our stories can make a HUGE impact in our lives . Here ’ s mine …
If you would ’ ve told me I was going to be an entrepreneur someday , I would ’ ve laughed .
If you would ’ ve told me I ’ d be trying to be in business online , I would ’ ve said , “ no way !”
I did what I was supposed to do . I got a degree and got a job . That was it . I wasn ’ t supposed to change my mind about my job . I was going to just do it , as they say , no matter what . And , most of all , I wasn ’ t supposed to get sick and not be able to do that job .
I graduated from college with a BS in Biology and a minor in Secondary Education . I taught science to grades 7-12 for about 15 years . I started out at a small school as THE science teacher teaching everything from life and earth science , to physics and chemistry .
I did a great job . I loved it no matter how hectic it was . My principal praised me for having a “ relatability factor ” with all students from various backgrounds . It wasn ’ t until a move to a larger school where I stuck to primarily teaching Biology and Anatomy & Physiology .
During this time , I completed my MEd to improve my teaching abilities . I loved my job but I started to become sick . It wasn ’ t really a new feeling ; it was just a worsening of symptoms I had become accustomed to being my normal .
I was a young mom who worked and went to school and has a husband who traveled ; all the things the doctors said to explain my symptoms . It made sense . Being a mom is exhausting , no matter how “ badass ” you are !
