How Blogging Transformed My Life (And Why It Could Change Yours Too)
Have you ever woken up and thought, How did I get here? Like you’re following this path you know you’re supposed to take, but deep down, something just doesn’t feel right?
Yeah… I’ve been there. And if you’re feeling that way right now, I need you to know—you’re not stuck.
I even did something to make sure you’re not stuck. I put together a totally FREE 6-day email course that will walk you through exactly how to start a blog in 2025. I’ve included the form to sign up in the post below.
The Quarter-Life Crisis That Led Me to Blogging
If you don’t know my story here’s the short version. I got married young, went straight into nursing school, and thought I had my life all figured out. I mean, that’s the dream, right? A great husband, A stable career, a solid plan, a good life?
Except… reality hit hard.
I was drowning in student loan debt, barely scraping by, and feeling completely unfulfilled. My husband and I were so broke we relied on food stamps, skipped out on a honeymoon, and Starbucks? Forget about it. We could barely afford store-brand K-cups for our brand, Keurig.
To make matters worse, I hated nursing school. Every single day, I felt like I was forcing myself into a life I didn’t actually want.
But what else was I supposed to do? I didn’t have a backup plan. I had already started school, and started accumulating debt. How could I pivot when my degree was only going to be good for one thing?
The Random Google Search That Changed Everything
Desperate to make any kind of money, I started searching for ways to earn online. I tried everything—surveys, transcribing, drop shipping—you name it. Nothing clicked.
Then, I found blogging.
And let me be honest: I had zero clue what I was doing. I thought I’d be raking in cash within a few months (spoiler: that didn’t happen). I made mistakes, questioned myself constantly, and nearly quit a dozen times.
But I promised myself: I wasn’t going to stop trying to figure out how to earn an income from home no matter what. So, I kept going.
And Then? It Actually Worked.
By month seven, my blog was making enough to replace my income.
By month fourteen, my husband quit his job to work on the blog with me.
And now? My blog consistently brings in over $10,000 a month—giving us the freedom to live life on our terms.
I didn’t have business experience. I didn’t have a fancy marketing degree. I just had the drive to create something better for myself.
And if you’re feeling that same pull in your gut—the feeling that you’re meant for more—then maybe blogging is the path you didn’t know you needed.
Blogging Can Change YOUR Life Too.
You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t need a big audience. You just need a willingness to start. I had no clue what I was doing, and no audience or social media following at all and I was able to go from that to a life changing blog.
Here’s why blogging is one of the best ways to make money online:
✨ Unlimited Income Potential – No more waiting for a raise. The harder you work, the more you can earn.
✨ Accessible Income Stream: With minimal startup costs (often under $50), blogging offers a scalable way to earn through ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, and digital products. The rise of platforms like WordPress and Squarespace makes it easier than ever to get started.
✨ Work from Anywhere – Your couch, a coffee shop, Disney World? You’re the boss.
✨ Build a Business Around What You Love – Parenting, fitness, fashion, personal finance… there’s an audience for everything.
✨ Low Startup Costs – You don’t need thousands to start. A domain and hosting are all you need.
✨ Make an Impact – You get to help people, inspire others, and create something meaningful while making money.
How to Start (Even If You’re Starting From Scratch)
Starting a blog feels overwhelming, but I promise it’s so much easier when you break it down:
Pick a Niche – Choose a topic you love talking about.
Get a Domain & Hosting – This is your online home. (I recommend Bluehost for beginners!)
Set Up Your Blog – Install WordPress, pick a theme, and make it your own.
Write Valuable Content – Focus on helping people solve a problem.
Monetize It – Through ads, affiliate marketing, digital products, or services.
You don’t have to have it all figured out on Day 1. You just have to start.
To help you get started, I created a completely free course to walk you through the 5 steps I mentioned above over the next 6 days. It’s totally free, and you can take it at your own pace, so if this is a busy week for you, sign up now and take it whenever you’re ready.
