Corporate wasn’t built for many of us.
And it definitely wasn’t built for single moms.

There. I said it.

Yes, there are exceptions.
But if we’re honest? The list of roles that truly allow single mothers to thrive is far shorter than the list that slowly drains them.

Your Child’s Childhood, it’s brief.
The opportunity to shape your life? That happens every day.

When I look back, my path has been clearly and beautifully guided by God’s grace.

I spent 7 years in corporate.
I learned. I grew. I built the skill set, network, and strategic lens that shaped me.

At 30, I knew I wanted to build something of my own.
By 31, I had the means and courage to go for it.
By 32, life shifted overnight.

An unexpected pregnancy.
Single motherhood.
A dream that felt distant.

So I made a strategic move. I stepped into my first 1099 contract role. The original intention? Use it as a bridge while building my business.

Then motherhood came fast. And I put the dream “on hold.”

Or so I thought.

God knew.

He knew corporate wasn’t the long-term design for me.
He knew I needed to learn entrepreneurship under someone who had already built it.
To understand billing, client acquisition, my strengths, my boundaries.
To build my LLC.
To gain confidence without carrying all the pressure at once.

I wasn’t behind.
I was building foundation.

Not fast.
Not flashy.
But forged in strength, wisdom, and stability.

And here’s what I’ve seen:

The single moms with the most joy, fulfillment, and peace?
They built something of their own.

They do contract work.
They choose their clients.
They control their time.
They protect their motherhood bucket.

Their work doesn’t drain them. It fills them.
It strengthens their financial stability.
It fuels their purpose outside of motherhood — which makes them better mothers.

We are not meant to shrink our ambition to protect our motherhood.
We are meant to design work that supports both.

That’s where I am now.

Building opportunities for founders and small-to-mid-sized businesses who need strategic leadership — but not full-time.

Fractional Chief of Staff.
Part-time Director of Operations.
Operational strategy, structure, and execution.

And for the mom longing for more —
the one who wants her motherhood bucket full and her purpose bucket overflowing — I see you.

You are not meant to do this alone.

If you’re ready to design work that aligns with your life — not competes with it — let’s talk.

From one single mom to another:
There is another way. And it’s powerful.

And the decision I’m making today, could always change tomorrow. There’s freedom and peace in that. Lean into it.

There’s no time like this time.
