how to make $$ + live your lazy dream life 💫

How I went from 5-figures in debt to an 8-figure business 🥹
Entering my “can make anything at home” era (even decaf cappuccinos) ☕️
Last week, I talked about how the girl in this video had no idea how good life was going to get.
And I actually got a lot of questions about how I went from being her (TL/DR: 5-figures in debt, living in a literal hut, working as a cocktail waitress)
…to my life today (living in Hawaii, driving my G-Wagon, a business that just crossed 8-figures).
So let me take you back…
Right around the time that video was taken, I had just finished my nutrition certification and was starting to take on my first 1:1 clients.
I had lost my period, was dealing with wild hormonal imbalances, over-exercising, restrictive eating – IYKYK.
So I thought: if I could help other women get out of that position and start nourishing their body in a way that feels really good – that would be wayyyyy better than cocktail server life.
I worked my way to one client, then 2, then 3 – and something unexpected happened…
…I hated it.
Okay, hate is a strong word – but I literally felt like my life energy was leaving my body with every minute that ticked by during a 90-minute nutrition call.
Have you ever been there? Like – the thing you *think* is going to totally fill your cup drains you?
And it wasn’t because it was the wrong content necessarily (more on that in a sec!).
It was because I’m wildly introverted and really could not be in a job where I spent most of my day talking to people.
(Too much people-ing).
My mind went to: How could I do the WORK I love (nutrition) but clear my calendar to live the LIFE I love (hanging out with my husband and my dogs lol).
I later learned this is called “Ikigai” but it’s when you take what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you get paid for + turn it into your “thing”.
Quick explanation from ChatGPT…
So I took all my nutrition knowledge and turned it into my first ever digital product: an online course.
And it was *huge* for me at the time.
I did $6k on that launch which was a lot more than I was making on cocktail server tips at the time, so I was pumped.
Now, you should also know about me – not only am I an introvert by nature, but I also get bored quick.
So eventually I got bored with the health + nutrition space – and at the same time, my audience (read: less than 10k followers at the time) started asking me how I created a business where I could live anywhere in the world.
So I created my next course on how I built my life as a “Digital Nomad”.
And once they wanted to know how I built both courses, THAT is when I started teaching about creating your own digital products based on YOUR OWN Ikigai.
Andddd I’ve been doing that ever since (+ talking about social media and pilates and croissants which you know I love too lol).
But I tell you all of this because, since you’re on my email list you’re hearing an announcement before anyone else…
If you know me, you know I n.e.v.e.r. do live trainings like this, but it’s going to be really me, streaming live from sunny Hawaii on April 17, 18 and 19.
I’m gonna give you the EXACT steps I took to build a 8-figure online business (even when I was 5-figures in debt!!), grow an engaged audience on social media, and make money passively – all while staying calm, aligned, and never missing my noon pilates class.💆🏻♀️

What I have that most valedictorians don’t 😅 3 traits that helped me make way more $$ than “smarter” people 💸 What to do if you want to create your course this weekend 👀 Most people I know are academically smarter than me. Like SAT scores? Couldn’t tell you. College GPA? Not impressive. 🤣 But there are very few people I know who are making more money than I am. And I don’t say that to be weird or brag. But it’s the reality, and when I was reflecting this week I realized there are actually 3...
A hot take on budgeting that might actually make you richer 👀 The energetic shift that happens when you refuse to settle 😉 What to do if you want to get visible + attract buyers 🤩 This might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually think the best way to make more money is to be unwilling to cut your expenses. I know. I know. Every financial expert on the internet just fainted. 😵💫 But hear me out... When you decide you won’t cut the things that make life feel good — the daily matcha, the nice...
Why forcing social media never works (even with the best strategy) 😅 How to tell the difference between fear vs. misalignment 👀 Other options if you actually hate posting on social media 😳 Unpopular opinion, but I actually *don't* think everybody is meant to build an audience on social media. *gasp* Andddd this is coming from somebody who literally teaches people how to grow and monetize their social media, so I easily could lie – lol. Whenever I hear somebody say they hate social media, it’s...
