👣 Redefining My "Shoulds"

Ever feel buried by the weight of what everyone thinks you "should" be doing? 🙋‍♀️
As an entrepreneur with chronic conditions, the "shoulds" can be deafening.
"You should rest."
"You shouldn't build a demanding business."

I'm officially tearing up that script. 🙅‍♀️
I'm done letting "shoulds" define me. I'm leaving behind everyone else's ideas to follow my own footsteps... to trust my intuition, own my purpose, and embrace my passion.

My path is building a legacy, even on low-energy days. It's showing my family what resilience looks like and using this business to create freedom on my terms.
To my fellow #NetworkMarketers, #Dadpreneurs, and especially my #ChronicWarriors:

Your journey is valid. Your pace is perfect. Your story is your strength.
Stop fearing the passion.
Stop shunning the purpose.

Start trusting your intuition. It knows the way. ✨

Drop a "ME TOO" in the comments if you're done with "shoulds" and ready to follow your own footsteps! 👇

🤔 Day Trip vs. Weekend Getaway: What's Your Couple's Choice? 🤔

Hey friends! 👋 I'm just curious and wanted to ask a question that's always on my mind as a disabled entrepreneur.

As a couple, we're always trying to balance building our network marketing business with managing chronic conditions. For me, planning any time away requires a lot of extra logistics, patience, and energy management! 🔋

A weekend getaway sounds amazing 😴—a real chance to unplug. But it also means more packing, checking accessibility, and often needing a "recovery" day just to get over the travel.

A day trip ☀️ is often easier on the "spoons" (energy) and more spontaneous. But sometimes, by the time you get there and back, you wonder if you really had a break at all!

I know my fellow entrepreneurs, dadpreneurs, and mumprenurs understand the hustle. We're all trying to build our dreams in MLM and direct sales while still making time for our families and partners.

And for those of us in the disabled people or chronic conditions community, finding that "work/life/health" balance is the real full-time job, right?

So, I'm curious...

As a couple, do you prefer Weekend Getaways or Day Trips?

Drop your answer and why in the comments! 👇 I'd especially love to hear from other couples or parents who are juggling health and hustle!

"THE ROAD TO ATHLETIC GREATNESS IS NOT MARKED BY PERFECTION, BUT THE ABILITY TO CONSTANTLY OVERCOME ADVERSITY AND FAILURE." 💥

This quote hits different.

As a disabled entrepreneur with chronic conditions, "perfection" isn't an option. Some days, "adversity" is just getting out of bed. 😴

In network marketing, it's easy to chase a "perfect" image.

But real life is messy.

👉 For dadpreneurs & mumpreneurs, adversity is a sick kid during a launch. 👶

👉 For any entrepreneur, it's the 10th "no" in a row.

Your greatness isn't in never falling. It's in how you get back up.

My "failures"—my flare-ups, my tired days—aren't weaknesses. They're proof of my resilience. ⚡

Stop waiting for the "perfect" moment. Your strength is built in the comeback, not in the flawless run.

What adversity are you proud of overcoming this week? Let me know in the comments! 👇
