1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280
What is the story behind your why?

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,720
So the story behind my why I really think it really stems from coming from a

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,840
family that was built around like love and nurturing,

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,880
but there was a lot of suffering. My mom suffered from an autoimmune disease.

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,280
My dad worked so many hours to provide for our family.

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,720
All I really knew was scarcity with money,

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,720
but I was definitely not scarce in love. And so as a child,

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,720
I think it's hard to differentiate because you're in pain because you see

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,680
your mom, who I was so close with, in physical pain.

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,240
And then my dad was in emotional pain and financial pain.

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,920
But here we were all connected.

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040
We were a family of seven and we love to do things together.

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,960
So I think it was hard for me to differentiate what that meant.

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,960
And so for me it was the lack of money equals pain and you have to be frugal

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,920
and you have to work your fingers to the bone just to get by,

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,720
let alone, you know, excel and be rich or wealthy.

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
I didn't even know what that meant back then. You know,

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,120
I just had like the negative view of like the Scrooge. That was all I knew.

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,840
And so my why from that point was when I got married,

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,320
I said my girls will know their father, he will be present in their life.

21
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,920
And so how can I help bring him home more?

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,200
He never asked me nor would he ever because he is a provider.

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,400
He, you know, that's innate in him, but he is an amazing father.

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,400
And so I, from a very early on in our marriage was like, how can I,

25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:49,240
you know, hustle? I, I sold sandwiches to our farmer.

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,520
We live in a farming community, so I would sell sandwiches during harvest.

27
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,920
I would do these little trinkety hair things for women,

28
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,360
that were young like me and moms and stuff and just little things.

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,640
And then I got involved with a network marketing company and I was like,

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,880
how can I, you know, really thrive here?

31
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,040
I just always had this innate desire to help our family so we could spend more

32
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,560
time together as a family unit and not just,

33
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,120
okay, the husband's working, mom's over here.

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,160
I get to enjoy the kids and have that awesome experience, but he's, you know,

35
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760
working his fingers to the bone and doing all that.

36
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,760
So that is what drove me and can still continue to drive me because whether

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,280
we're watching a movie or currently we're doing a pontoon rebuild renovation

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,320
together, or if we're going to Disney world, it doesn't matter.

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,120
As long as we're together and we're experiencing it good, bad, ugly,

40
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,400
like we're a family and I want my husband there. I want my kids there.

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,240
I want to experience life together so that when they're older,

42
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,160
they know what that looks like. They spend time with family.

43
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,080
Cause at the end of the day, family is really all you have. I mean, you have,

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,480
you can have friends and you can have community through church and stuff like

45
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,680
that, but your legacy lives on through your family.

46
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,920
And so I want to build legacy of memories, experiences,

47
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680
and I want to teach my kids, um,

48
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,920
the what wealth really means and what money really means and how you can use it

49
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:18,560
as a tool.

50
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,560
And it's a good thing and how to release money into the atmosphere and be

51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760
generous. And, um, you know,

52
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,680
all of those things that I didn't really understand or know as a child.

53
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:48,680
So that's really where my Y comes from.
