Dream Big, Start Small, and Watch Your Life Change

If you would have told me a few years ago that I’d be writing a blog post like this in my office, while a house cleaner is here helping me catch my breath I probably would have laughed. Not because I didn’t want this life, not because I didn’t dream of it, but because it felt so far away.

For a long time, we were a one-income family living paycheque to paycheque. The kind of life where you count every dollar, you stretch every meal, and you pray the car holds on for one more month. If you’ve lived that life, you know how heavy it feels. You know the pressure. And you know how quickly hope can slip away.

Becoming a mortgage broker changed everything but not just because of the career itself. It was the vision, the hard work, the belief, and the people around me who kept speaking life into me when I didn’t fully believe in myself yet.

And today, I want to share what’s possible.

This isn’t a brag.
This is proof.
Proof that your life can change faster than you think. Proof that your goals matter. Proof that you have more power than you realize.

The Power of Putting Your Goals on Paper

I keep a list of goals on my desk always. Some big, some small, some that once made me nervous to even write down. But each time I cross one off, something shifts. Not just my circumstances… me.

There’s something powerful about acknowledging your wins. We rush so fast through life that we rarely stop and say, “Hey, I did that. I showed up. I grew.”

And let me tell you taking time to celebrate yourself changes how you dream. When you see progress right in front of you, suddenly the next goal doesn’t feel so scary. The vision gets clearer. The belief gets stronger. And the momentum becomes real.

Hard Work Pays Off — And Sometimes, It Pays Off Faster Than You Expect

Since becoming a broker, the growth has been more than financial. It has been personal, emotional, spiritual a full transformation of who I am and what I believe I’m capable of.

And the results… well, they’ve been life-changing for our family:

• We went to the Dominican a year ago.

• We’re spending Christmas in Mexico this year.

• We were snowboarding in Panorama last winter.

• We took multiple trips to BC this summer.

• We’ve created more family memories in the past year than we ever have before.

It still feels surreal to write that. For so long, our “vacations” were day trips or camping weekends squeezed between work schedules and budgets. And now… we’re making memories that once felt impossible.

And it’s not just the big things like vacations that show you how far you’ve come. It’s the everyday moments too — the ones that used to feel heavy. Things like getting your hair done professionally without guilt, or signing your kids up for sports without stressing over the cost. It’s being able to walk through the grocery store without counting every single item in the cart, praying the total fits your budget.

This was our reality three short years ago. And I’ll be honest breaking the poverty mindset has been some of the hardest inner work we’ve ever done. When you’ve spent years in survival mode, your brain gets wired to expect struggle. But it’s worth the effort to challenge those old thoughts, to slowly re-teach yourself that abundance is possible, that you deserve stability, and that you’re allowed to enjoy the life you’re working so hard for.

Hard work matters.
Showing up matters.
Vision matters.

But here’s the real secret:
Who you surround yourself with matters just as much.

Surround Yourself With People Who See You

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been blessed with people who believed in me before I fully believed in myself. People who called out my gifts, my grit, my heart, my potential even on the days I doubted it.

And that changed everything.

Feeling seen is powerful.
Feeling valued is life-changing.
When someone speaks truth into you, it gives you permission to grow into the version of yourself you always hoped you could be.

I feel more supported, more seen, and more confident now than I ever have before. And if you haven’t felt that yet please know that it’s coming. The right people will meet you where you’re going, not where you’ve been.

Your Life Can Change — Faster Than You Think

If you’re reading this and you’re struggling financially…
If you’re dreaming of a different life…
If you’re overwhelmed and wondering if things can actually get better…

Let me tell you this from my heart:

You have the power to turn your life around.

Truly.
In a year.
In six months.
Sometimes even faster.

But it starts with vision.
It starts with speaking life over your situation.
It starts with believing that your goals matter even if you’re the only one who knows about them right now.

Your story isn’t over.
Your next chapter could be the one where everything shifts.
And one day, you’ll look back the same way I’m looking back now and realize that every step, every late night, every challenge, and every goal crossed off was leading you somewhere beautiful.

To Everyone Who Has Supported Me

If you’ve believed in me, worked with me, trusted me, referred me, encouraged me, or cheered me on thank you. My success is not built alone. It’s built in community, in partnership, and in the incredible people who let me be a small part of their financial story.

I’m grateful beyond words.

Keep Dreaming Bigger

If you’re setting goals today, don’t be afraid to dream bigger than feels comfortable. Don’t underestimate what can happen in a year. Don’t talk yourself out of the good things that are meant for you.

Write your goals down.
Speak life over them.
Show up.
Believe.
And watch what happens.

Your future is waiting and it’s brighter than you think. 💙 I am here cheering you on!
