How Are You Preparing For Times Of Adversity?
This isn’t just a philosophical question—it’s a reality check. Because life doesn’t send out warnings. One day, everything is fine. The next, you’re navigating a storm you never saw coming.
Why This Hits So Close to Home
I have to admit, this topic gets me teary-eyed. My best friend, Kim, is walking through one of those storms right now.
Years ago, she lost two immediate family members to suicide. And like most people working a traditional 9-5, she was given a one-week bereavement leave. That’s it. Seven days to process the unthinkable. Seven days to pick up the shattered pieces and pretend that she was okay. Seven days to process life-shattering grief before returning to her desk like nothing had happened.
Let’s be honest—a week isn’t long enough to heal, to process, or even to breathe. And that experience changed her. It gave her perspective.
She realized she never wanted her time, emotions, or ability to be present for my family to be dictated by a company’s policies ever again. That realization became the spark that changed her entire life—and her family’s future.
But grief doesn’t work on a schedule. And neither does life’s hardest moments.
She looks back at that time with a strange sense of gratitude. Because that pain forced her to see life differently. It gave her the perspective she needed to stop living on autopilot and start building something that would give her true freedom—freedom to be present for the moments that matter.

Why Pinterest Changed Everything
Now, you might be thinking, How does Pinterest fit into this?
It’s simple.
Most people chase financial freedom but forget about time freedom. And trust me, you don’t want one without the other.
The Wake-Up Call We All Need
As humans, we’re wired to rush through life. We move from task to task, drowning in social media, digital marketing, endless to-do lists—without pausing to ask ourselves the big questions until a crisis forces us to.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait for a crisis to take control of your life.
I discovered Pinterest marketing in a season of burnout, desperately searching for a way to break free from the grind. And at first, I ignored the opportunity. (Let’s be real—God was probably banging His head against the wall watching me overlook the doors He was opening.)
But when I finally took that leap? Everything changed.
How Pinterest Gave Me My Life Back
Pinterest is what allowed me to stop chasing the algorithm and start building something that works FOR me.
It gave me the freedom to:
✅ Be at my daughter’s last college basketball game, fully present.
✅ Take spontaneous trips to visit my youngest daughter without worrying about asking for time off.
✅ Be by my dad’s side, guilt-free, during difficult medical appointments.
✅ Build a business that generates leads and sales—even while I sleep.
Most importantly, it gave me options. And I want that for you, too.
The Truth About Time Freedom
Time freedom isn’t just about vacations and flexible schedules—it’s about being present for the moments that matter most.
Because when life throws unexpected challenges your way, you shouldn’t have to choose between making money and being there for the people you love.
And I know what you might be thinking—"But I don’t know where to start."
That’s exactly why I want to share something with you...
