I can still see it—the moment that split my life into “before” and “after.”

I was standing in my kitchen, coffee gone cold, staring at a to-do list that felt like it belonged to ten different people. I was a single mom, raising two boys, working full-time, and trying to keep my dreams alive in the space between bedtime stories and late-night emails. The safe thing—the reasonable thing—would have been to keep my head down, collect the paycheck, and settle for “good enough.”

But I knew deep down… good enough was never going to be enough for me.
