📌 I have a laptop. I rarely use it.
I built almost everything you’re reading — this blog, this brand, this future I’m chasing — from my phone.
Not because it’s the easiest way… but because it’s the only way that fits into my real life right now.
If you’re stuck in a life you didn’t choose, with more dreams than dollars, I want you to know something:
You can build your way out of it too.
💬 Why I Started With Nothing (But a Phone and a Lot of Determination)
I didn’t start this because I had time.
Or money.
Or a peaceful life where it “made sense to start a business.”
I started this because I was tired of waiting.
Tired of excuses.
Tired of feeling trapped in a life that didn’t reflect who I really was.
I needed something of my own — even if I had to build it while juggling family, stress, and survival mode.
📱 What I Actually Use
No secret software. No $997 courses. Just:
- Ghost – for this blog (yes, still running it mostly from my phone)
- Canva – every pin and graphic you see
- MailerLite – email list and automation, all through the app
- Pinterest – for strategy, traffic, and long-game growth
- ChatGPT – content partner, creative coach, and chaos translator
- Google Docs – for drafts, blurbs, and brain dumps
- Notes app – when inspiration hits between everything else
Yes, I have a laptop.
But most of this was built while sitting on the couch or hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of quiet.
No fancy setup. No desk. Just me — making it happen anyway.
🤳 What It Really Looks Like
I don’t work in the carpool line.
I don’t wake up at 5AM to “grind.”
And I don’t pretend I’ve got it all figured out.
What I do have is grit.
And a phone.
And the refusal to keep living paycheck to paycheck without a fight.
🌱 Why This Matters
This blog is more than a website.
It’s proof.
Proof that you don’t need a MacBook, a peaceful marriage, or a perfect plan to start something real.
You just need to start where you are.
With what you’ve got.
And build it messy, honest, and all your own.
That’s what I’m doing.
And it’s working.
