In this episode, we discuss the importance of having a life while you hustle/grind to build a business or brand. Having a busy life does not mean that you don't have a life outside of the hustle and bustle. People make time for things that they want to make time for.. Period

In this episode, I talk about what my hustle drive was and why I worked so hard to build a good life for my children. I started my cleaning business 31 years ago while working part-time and going to college full-time. I was hungry, I was driven, and I wanted to show my children that how we started was not going to be how it would stay or end.

Hello everybody, thank you for sticking around, and welcome to the new series "The Hustle." In this first episode, I discuss how I was able to level up as a teen mom. I purchased a home and started a business. It wasn't an easy journey but due to my support system and my desire to give my children a good life, I worked hard to make it happen.

This is the final episode of this series, Tales of a Teenage Mom. I share about how I gave birth to my son at home as my 3-year-old slept through it. I talk about how being their mom wasn't easy, but I was determined to give them a good life and to raise them to be good people. I express the importance of being a good role model for your children and how, even at 16, I wanted to give my baby the best life possible. I discuss the importance of being able to co-parent and showing your children love, and never speaking badly about the other parent. Being a teen parent was hard, and I never glorify or glamorize it; however, I do say if it happens, lean into your faith and find a strong support system. Give your children a chance by dealing with your own traumas; they did not ask to be here.

I had lots of sleepless nights and shed more tears than I knew was humanly possible, so in no way do I promote teen pregnancy or want to glamorize it.I will always be honest because it was hard and scary as hell. I was able to survive and make it through due to my support system. I also took advantage of programs that came along that I beleived would be beneficial to me as I navigated my way through teen motherhood.

In this episode I talk about having my second child, a boy, at 19 years old. I have been told that my son has a lot of my traits. He is outspoken, loving, strong, and protective. My son gave me a different kind of love. I do not glamorize being a teen mom, but I am thankful that I have my children. My son has grown into a great man; he is respectful, kind, and takes pride in himself and our family. I tell stories about how raising a boy was different from what I was used to; he was fearless and was a boy through and through.

In this episode, I talk about some of the struggles I faced as a teen mom in an environment where I didn't feel safe, but I had to be protective of this little human being.

I thank the support system of my grandparents, aunt, and friends, who encouraged and uplifted me. I thank my HS English teacher, Mr. Garret, who didn't just see a teen mom, he saw me and my potential to be great due to my love of reading.
