A space for the modern hustler, the gig-working mama, and every woman carving out her own lane.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re trying to navigate this unpredictable economy, while building a life that actually feels like yours! Same here. My name is Aaliyah and I’m a self-employed, freelancing mama who has learned how to stretch the coins, balance multiple streams, explore new environments, and still choose a peaceful, purposeful life at the same time.

For those who are new, here’s a little background about me: I’m a 30-something, wine drinking, mama of 1. I have a 5 year old son. I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology and currently working on my Master’s. Professionally, I specialize in working with autistic children as an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician). In layman terms, I teach learning and social skills that are geared towards decreasing or increasing behaviors. I’ve been in the ABA field for roughly 6 years. My world is centered around kids. For my friends and select few, I’m the auntie, nanny, and uncertified doula lol. Also, I’m the owner of a self-care business (5 years) and I’m a real estate investor (8 years).

For the last decade, I’ve dedicated my time mostly to my career, businesses, and side hustles. In the midst of that, I added the title of mother to my resume. Insanity, right?! However, that’s honestly when things shifted in my work sector. I became a full-time/all-time mom who left the career to clock in as a full-time freelancer. This gave me the flexibility to bring money in from any location but also, the luxury of being a SAHM (stay-at-home mom).

This blog is my open journal of stories, lessons, and strategies I’ve learned through juggling motherhood, business, and personal growth. You can expect the truth about entrepreneurship, the pros and cons of freelancing, practical tips for navigating financially, traveling with kids, and some “what I wish I knew” moments. My goal is to spark something within so that you do more than just survive! Honey, I need you to THRIVE while living.

Enjoy & engage. You’ll hear from me on the next post 🙂
