My Story
Ever since I was a teenager I loved to work. I left high school and I set out on a journey to find my dream job. I explored many different careers.
It wasn't that I wasn't successful in them, it just seamed like everything I tried didn't light a fire in my soul. I worked in retail, administration, as a pole dancing instructor, in a legal office, and as an office manager. Everything I tried gave me new skills and helped develop me as a person.
All of these unique skills have now helped create this business that I truely love. It wasn't until I had my first child that I really needed something else in my life. Something that I was passionate about. I have always loved homes, interior design and painting.
How it all started
Then one day I decided I was going to refinish some dining room chairs as I couldn't find what I wanted in the shops. Initially it was a great idea as a creative hobby that let me escape from my job and gave me back a sense of joy.
The moment I saw the finished chairs I could feel the fire growing inside of me. I kept doing more and more projects until my house was full of my refinished furniture. I then turned to the idea that I could refinish them and sell them. I was so blessed as people loved my furniture and my side hustle grew and grew. It was time to create an actual business out of this. I started taking on commission work, improving my skills and continuing to flip furniture. Then COVID hit.
My Huge leap
At this stage I was still working an office job as well and during the time we were in lock down I had an epiphany.
So I quit my job and went full time in my furniture refinishing business. As time went on people were constantly asking me how I do what I do. So, after a few years, I turned my focus to teaching. I knew I could help people create the life I did.
Now I have an online community of over 150 thousand people and I'm here to help you create a life you desire too.
