🛑 Stop Renting Your Self-Worth: It’s Time to Own Your Journey
So long as you are still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself."
— Neale Donald Walsch
For years, I let the opinions of others rent space in my head rent-free. 🤯
As a disabled network marketer navigating life with chronic conditions, the fear of judgment used to be paralyzing.
🚫 "You don't look sick."
🚫 "Why don't you get a 'real' job?"
🚫 "Is that business actually sustainable?"
When you live with invisible illness or disability, you often feel like you have to explain your existence or justify your energy levels to healthy individuals. When you build a business in network marketing or direct sales, you feel the pressure to prove the skeptics wrong.
But here is the truth I found:
Their approval doesn't pay my bills. Their approval doesn't manage my pain levels. And their approval certainly doesn't build a legacy for my family. 👨👩👦
Owning yourself means accepting that your path looks different.
✅ It means listening to your body when it says "rest," even if the hustle culture says "grind."
✅ It means building an empire from your phone because that’s what your mobility allows.
✅ It means showing up as a dadpreneur or mumpreneur on your own terms.
To my fellow parents, families, and spoonie entrepreneurs: The moment you stop requiring permission to do life your way is the moment you become unstoppable. 💪
You are not defined by a diagnosis, and you are not limited by someone else's opinion of your industry. You are the CEO of your life and your health.
