defeated..undefeated..it's not possible

I had no idea what I was steeping into when my husband and I decided that we would be an entrepreneur family, and let alone I would be doing it on my own with three kids and a dog while he worked full time in production at a warehouse. I had no idea what an entrepreneur did, I had no idea the time I needed to put into it, or all the different paths that it would lead me too. I had absolutely no clue! And I'm glad I didn't. If I had known the work, the time, the heartache to the YES finally's that it was going to entail I probably would have ran scared. I wouldn't have known the endless possibilities and rewarding feeling of changing countless lives. I would never have followed through on conferences, and leadership meetings, meeting so many people that have changed their own stories. Being an entrepreneur from " scratch" a rookie has led me to so many crossroads, and pathways that led me to mistakes, success's, and better than all of that the the leadership development and personal development that helped me grow into the person I am today. A proud to be me with all of my scars, bumps and bruises, mother of 3 ( 4 when we include our fur pup Max) and a happily married woman, that was lucky enough to marry her best friend. 
That being said.. why did I name my post Defeated Undefeated It's not Possible? Because with my story with my past no one would have guessed I would have ended up here, a blogger, an author, a wife, mother, and speaker. If you knew who I was before and the things that had happened to me most would say I was feeling the weight of defeat. I wasn't undefeated. I was stressed, lost and just unhappy. I was looking for something and hoping to find a spec of light, of hope that there was more to my life than just surviving it. It didn't seem possible. Until it was. 
This whole website this whole blog is to reach out to all of the women who feel the weight of defeat, like life has just given up on her, or even for our fellow's they can feel defeat too, but I'm here to tell you that I know I know I know the feeling of barley getting up and dusting yourself up to actually doing it. I went from Defeated to living a life I like to call.. Undefeated. And I hope you will find that spec of hope ( at least ) here on this blog!

Your's Truly
