Blogging is a life changing experience and has taught me so many new things about myself and my abilities. Let me share with you how starting a blog changed my life.
Have you ever had a passion to blog, but wasn’t sure about where it would lead you? Maybe others doubted you, or maybe you doubted yourself. If someone told me a year ago that my blog would be as successful as it is today… I would not have believed them.
Blogging changed my life- The Beginning…
I began blogging in 2019 and my goal was to blog as a hobby. My focus at that time was to document my third pregnancy and fitness journey. I didn’t set any killer goals to crush when I launched my blog.

Of course, when I shared my blogging plans with my husband he supported me. He also encouraged me to stay consistent. Staying consistent was easier said than done.

Being a fulltime wife and mom, it was challenging to keep consistent with creating blog content that I wanted to blog about and what readers wanted to read. It seemed so easy in the beginning.
As a wife and mother, I had the experiences to share. But, I didn’t have the time to put the drive behind my passion.
Even though I wanted to succeed I didn’t push myself. Furthermore, in the beginning, I didn’t realize my full potential.
Blogging changed my life- The Struggle…
After the birth of my third child, I took a break from blogging. I used this break to enjoy those precious newborn moments. My consistency with blogging declined as a result of the time I took off.
While I didn’t regret my decision to take a break. I didn’t realize that my old posts were still getting a lot of views. Also, the engagement from my readers was steadily growing.
The posts that received the most engagement were my motivational and health & fitness posts. With my blog views steadily increasing despite any new content uploads; I realized that everything that I had to say was important to someone else.
Knowing that I had readers that looked forward to my post is what encouraged me to refocus and get back to blogging. This drove a great passion within me to continue blogging and strive for consistency.
I knew what it felt like to feel uninspired. And I did not ever want to feel that way again. It was time for me to reconsider my motivational posts and take some of my own advice.
How Starting a Blog Changed My Life…
Blogging changed my life when I realized that it could be more than just a hobby. Creating a blog became an opportunity for me to make a brand for myself. All while doing what I am passionate about and enjoy the most.
I never imagine that blogging would turn into an opportunity for entrepreneurship. I initially did not have any knowledge about the business aspect of blogging.
After doing some further research on the various financial benefits of marketing and sponsorships, I began focusing on creating and building my brand. As a result, I started blogging about products and services that I tried and loved.
My passion for my blog was initially self-driven. But, over the year I realized my mission to blog is to encourage full-time wives and mothers like myself to chase their passion while balancing being also full-time businesswomen.
