I started Boss Single Mama to share what I’ve learned about making money from home and gaining financial freedom for my family!

In the summer of 2014, I was a newly single mom with two kids to take care of and no job. But I did have a small freelance writing side hustle and a desire to continue staying home with my kids full-time.

So I decided to dig deep and work on turning my little side hustle into an online business. And along the way, I’ve learned how to manage my money like a boss!

Here are just a few things I’ve been able to achieve:

✔ Paying off all of my non-mortgage debt (nearly $100,000 worth!)

✔ Buying a home as a single mom (twice!)

✔ Growing my income to multiple six figures a year (from home!)

✔ Achieving financial freedom!

How I want to help you

Way back when I first became a single mom, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to stay home with my kids. I wanted to find a way to make money while saving money and paying down debt so we could be financially secure. I also had to find time to juggle regular mom tasks, like cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. And did I mention I homeschool my kids as well?

Whether you’re a single mom, married mom or partnered up, you might face the same challenges. So my goal is to deliver actionable, practical tips and advice that you can use to master your home and money!

If you’re a mom, then you should be able to stay home with your kids without having to worry about finances. And you should be able to enjoy a home that’s clean, cozy and comfortable, even with messy kids!

Let’s work toward your vision for a richer life together!
