We need you here. And together, we can build something better.

This world is brutal. But you are not disposable.

DM me if you need help applying. I’m happy to walk you through it.

I wrote an article breaking down how I did it—and how you can too. It includes links, qualifications, and what accommodations are available if you're disabled.

If you've been laid off, burnt out, or quietly dreaming of working for yourself...
This might be the roadmap you've been waiting for.

Most people don’t know that a handful of U.S. states will literally pay you to become an entrepreneur if you’re laid off—including New York, Oregon, Delaware, Mississippi, and New Hampshire.

👉 They paid me $24k in unemployment to start my business.

No job search. No hoops. Just a simple form and a weekly email reporting how much (or little) I made.

And if you’ve got that fire inside you too?
I see you. And I’m rooting for you.

📬 Want to borrow my brain for a few minutes?
Shoot me a message. Let’s build your next big thing—together.

I’m a neurodivergent, chronically ill, trans parent of two.
I get distracted. I get tired.
But I never lose faith in what I’m building.

You don’t win Ninja Warrior on your first try.
Maybe not your fifth either.
But if you’re still here, still dreaming, still fighting?

You’re not failing.
You’re training.

I’ve been there.
Said yes to the wrong gigs.
Collapsed under the weight of perfectionism.
Started over, again and again.

But each restart? Made me sharper. Softer.
A better strategist. A better mentor. A better human.

This is my fifth attempt at building a business.
I'm almost 3 years in (minus the pregnancy + postpartum).

Every “failure” taught me something real:

The cost of burnout

The sting of selling out

The pain of ignoring your intuition because someone waved a paycheck in your face

The packaging design is minimalist, cardboard colour, cute toy style sold in stores. The style is cartoonish, cute but still neat, also put Identity Pending in the top right corner
