Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement
Ever been told you are a “bad influence” for asking fair questions? That spark is where our journey starts—a child who stood up to bullies, grew into an adult who refuses pay ceilings, quiet poverty, and routines that drain time without building a life.
We talk frankly about the cost of playing by rules that were not designed for us: stagnant wages in essential roles, pensions that do not add up, and credit habits that feel like comfort but act like chains. Then we go further—toward the pivots that buy back hours, dignity, and choice.
I share the moves that changed my trajectory: leaving roles that capped growth, relocating to make housing work, and embracing remote work not as a perk but as financial leverage. We unpack the unseen costs of commuting and life admin, and why employers rarely account for the real price we pay to show up.
This is a call to become your own best influence—to question the script you have been given and make the bold pivots that lead to a life you truly own.
