I want to tell you something I don't say out loud enough.
Four years ago I left my job.
Not because I had a plan.
Not because I was brave.
Because I was done.
And it was starting to show up at home.
Thirty years of showing up for someone else's dream.
Thirty years of giving my best hours
to a company that was never going to give them back.
My husband noticed before I did.
The disdain.
The exhaustion.
The slow drain of it.
I was losing my spark, my passion, all that was me.
So I left.
And then
honestly?
I drifted.
My stepson and his family moved in for five months
while they built their house.
My daughter had her first baby.
Then her second.
I became a grandmother.
Which is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I mean that completely. 🌺
But somewhere in the middle of the grandkids
and the afternoon shifts without my husband
and the Netflix
and the phone scrolling
I felt myself settling into something
I wasn't ready for.
Like I was letting myself become old
before it was time.
I still have dreams.
Trips we haven't taken.
A house on our river property someday.
Kayaking.
Time.
Room to breathe.
And finances that need more than one income to get there.
So instead of doom scrolling
I started looking.
Affiliate marketing.
Content creation.
A community for women in this exact season.
That's how Me~ERA was born.
Not from a plan.
From a decision.
This chapter is going to be full.
For both of us.
That's why I'm here.
That's why YOU'RE here.
And I'm really glad you are. 🌿
