In this episode, I talk about what my hustle drive was and why I worked so hard to build a good life for my children. I started my cleaning business 31 years ago while working part-time and going to college full-time. I was hungry, I was driven, and I wanted to show my children that how we started was not going to be how it would stay or end.

Hello everybody, thank you for sticking around, and welcome to the new series "The Hustle." In this first episode, I discuss how I was able to level up as a teen mom. I purchased a home and started a business. It wasn't an easy journey but due to my support system and my desire to give my children a good life, I worked hard to make it happen.

This is the final episode of this series, Tales of a Teenage Mom. I share about how I gave birth to my son at home as my 3-year-old slept through it. I talk about how being their mom wasn't easy, but I was determined to give them a good life and to raise them to be good people. I express the importance of being a good role model for your children and how, even at 16, I wanted to give my baby the best life possible. I discuss the importance of being able to co-parent and showing your children love, and never speaking badly about the other parent. Being a teen parent was hard, and I never glorify or glamorize it; however, I do say if it happens, lean into your faith and find a strong support system. Give your children a chance by dealing with your own traumas; they did not ask to be here.
