I'm Megan, your host! I was a tired teacher needing to get out of debt to leave the classroom for good. In 2021, I paid off $53,000 worth of debt in 12 months so I could walk away from the classroom. Shortly after, I found my true passion and started my freelancing business. Finding my passion and turning it into a business has allowed me to make an income from home and continue on the path to financial freedom, and now I want to help YOU do the same!
