On-screen text

I am a stay-at-home mom. He was our only income. Now that marriage is ending, that income is walking out the door too. So I'm rebuilding. My life. My income. My kids' version of "normal." I'd rather start completely from scratch than ever live like that again.

Original caption

I was a stay-at-home mom. He was our only income. So when I decided I was done living in an abusive marriage, I wasn’t just starting over emotionally. I was starting over financially too. I have three little boys depending on me, including a one-year-old, and now the income our household depended on is leaving with the marriage. That part is scary. But going back scares me more. So I’m building my own income online, raising my boys, and rebuilding our life from the ground up. Because having your own income isn’t just about money. It’s about options. And I never want my ability to leave something that is hurting me to depend on whether someone else controls the paycheck. This chapter is going to be messy, but my boys are going to watch their mama build. I didn’t lose everything. I lost the life that was costing me everything. Now I get to build one that belongs to us. If you’re a single mom, a stay-at-home mom starting over, or a woman rebuilding your life too, follow me and stay for the rebuild. And if you know a mom who needs to see this today, share this with her. 🤍 I’m working toward 1K followers so I can unlock my link and start sharing the online income resources I’m using too. #SingleMomLife #MomsSupportingMoms #StartingOver #OnlineIncome #WomenSupportingWomen
