It feels like an elephant has stepped off my chest & maybe a little like I escaped the matrix if I’m being honest.
But nothing has changed in my day to day. My husband & I get up and work just the same everyday bc that’s what we enjoy doing. I love working, I love creating content & im just so unbelievably grateful I can provide more for my son & family now.
If you’re working towards your own financial freedom, KEEP GOING. It only takes 1 win!

K. This is an honest chat about how I've been feeling since everything happened with the Yap Challenge. I'm trying to stretch my back out because I'm pregnant, and it hurts. But for context, I made $7,500,000 in the last ten weeks on a single digital product called the Yap Challenge. Prior to that, the first four months of the year, I was making between 7 and $9,000 doing content. People have asked how the heck are you feeling? How's your nervous system worst? Overwhelming gratitude. Thank you. Again, shock, disbelief. It honestly doesn't feel real most days. The next very dominant emotion is overwhelm, meeting with tax professionals, financial advisers, accountants. I wanna do right, and so this overwhelming. The third emotion is honestly a little bit of shame and embarrassment. Okay. Listen. I've gotten hundreds of text messages, DMs, emails, phone calls from friends, family, loved ones. People I've looked up to for many years have reached out. And I have dropped the ball in responding to messages and keeping up with messages, and that's making me feel embarrassed and a little bit of shame. I am overstimulated, overwhelmed, trying to process, and just ADHD. So I'm trying to figure that out. The next is a little bit of, I don't know if I belong here. I've gotten invited to be a part of some business masterminds with people who are of a business caliber. I just feel like it's so far beyond. And so it's not unworthiness because I've done a lot of work to feel worthy over the years. It's just made a little out of place. And then lastly is so excited. I am so excited to take care of my son and this unborn baby and my family. So a lot of different emotions. My husband and I are both surprised we don't feel more different, to be honest, but that's what I'm feeling.
