Home is where hustle meets heart, and where true success begins. That’s why, when I was given the opportunity to become a stay-at-home mom, I embraced it wholeheartedly. It wasn’t an easy decision as some of my personal plans and dreams had to be set aside, but the joy of witnessing my son blossom each day was simply irreplaceable. Years later, another door opened, and I proudly stepped into the role of a work-at-home mom. My first side hustle was digital content creation, and today, fueled by passion and the desire to build something tangible, I took a leap of faith and opened my very own waffle and brew corner.
Balancing family, finances, and my hustle has never been easy. There were moments when bills piled up, responsibilities at home became overwhelming, and I still had to find the energy to push through with my dreams. Running a food business added another layer of challenge. Early mornings to prepare ingredients, late nights counting sales, and days when foot traffic was slow, and I questioned if I had made the right choice. There were times when I worried about food spoilage, rising supply costs, and whether I could keep up with the demands of both my family and my business. But in between the struggles came small yet meaningful wins: seeing a customer return for their favorite drink, hearing compliments about the cozy space I built from scratch, and watching sales slowly but surely grow. Those moments reminded me that every ounce of effort was worth it. Instead of giving up, I chose to take things one step at a time and find my own diskarte by balancing the sacrifices with the joy of creating something that not only supports my family but also brings happiness to others.
