Redefining My Dream Life: The Freedom to Work & Live on My Terms
The Limiting Beliefs
For years, I told myself I didn’t like working from home—that I wasn’t productive in that environment. That I was too distracted at home and I wasn’t able to accomplish much.
And honestly? I believed it.
It wasn’t until recently that I realized… I had formed that belief during a difficult season of my life, and instead of questioning it, I accepted it as truth.
But after one single work-from-home day that actually felt aligned with how I want to live, I had a realization that changed everything.
How My Work-From-Home Mindset Got Twisted
During COVID, working from home felt like the perfect balance. I had time for work, Devyn, and small tasks like laundry or prepping dinner. Things were great, perfect harmony. (Well, except the world outside my house being in complete chaos).
A few years later, I had a job that allowed me to work from home 2-3 days a week, but instead of balance, I felt distracted and unmotivated. It was a difficult time in my life, and working from home felt isolating rather than freeing.
Instead of recognizing the season I was in, I decided:
🚫 I don’t like working from home.
🚫 I’m not productive unless I go into an office.
🚫 I can’t trust myself to stay focused.
And so, I put my dream of time and location freedom on hold… because I didn’t think I could handle it.
The Breakthrough: A Day That Changed Everything
Fast forward to today. Devyn and I both had doctor’s appointments, so I worked from home.
We had a slow morning, waking up and getting ready on our own terms.
I logged on and worked before heading out.
After our appointments, we stopped at a cute café for a treat.
Came back home, worked some more, and then…
Parent-teacher conferences, followed by dinner out together.
Finished the night by wrapping up work at home.
This was the life I had always envisioned—one where I’m living my life and filling in the gaps with work… not working a corporate job that forces me to fit life around it.
I felt calm, in control, and free.
The Truth About Time & Location Freedom
I had been telling myself for years that I wasn’t good at working from home. That I needed structure, an office, and external accountability. But the truth?
✨ I thrive when I have the freedom to work on my terms.
✨ I can be productive and still prioritize my life.
✨ My dream life isn’t about escaping work—it’s about work fitting into MY life, not the other way around.
And that’s exactly what I’m building.
Designing a Life Where I’m Living—Not Just Working
This realization is so freeing, and it’s making me even more intentional about my future.
🎯 I want to build a business that allows me to have the flexibility I desire.
🎯 I want to create income streams that support my lifestyle, not dictate it.
🎯 I want to help others break free from limiting beliefs and design their own version of success.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself or felt trapped by a belief about what you can or can’t handle, I encourage you to take a step back and ask:
👉 Is this really true?
👉 Or is it something I just accepted as truth because of a difficult season?
Your dream life is waiting for you to claim it.
