Life doesn’t always follow one straight path. Sometimes it loops, curves, and surprises you with new passions along the way. My story is one of dual dreams: building a digital brand while following my calling to become a nurse.
The Beginning: Building a Life Online
I started in digital marketing with a heart full of ideas and a phone full of apps. I launched faceless content, curated digital products, opened aesthetic shops, and grew my online presence one post at a time. From selling through tools like Beacons and Milkshake to creating content around mindset, beauty, and boss energy, I began to understand what it meant to market a brand—especially when that brand is you.
I poured creativity into everything:
Building WordPress pages that reflect my glow-up journey
Using AI and aesthetic visuals to tell powerful stories
Creating shop buttons, captions, and digital vaults that inspire and sell
This digital path gave me freedom, expression, and even income. But as much as I loved the screen, I felt another calling tug at my spirit—a calling to serve, care, and heal.
The Pivot: CNA School & a New Kind of Purpose
Going back to school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant wasn’t something I had always planned. But life has a way of revealing your true heart when you’re quiet enough to listen. I wanted to make a difference—not just through inspiration online, but in real life, face to face.
Enrolling in CNA classes taught me discipline, compassion, and the importance of showing up fully for others. I learned how to provide care with dignity and empathy, and how to balance the grind of school with my existing online commitments.
And guess what? The skills I learned through digital marketing—like time management, confidence, and communication—helped me shine in the classroom and clinicals.
The Blend: Digital Marketing & Nursing Dreams
Now, I live between two worlds:
By day (or late night), I’m running my online shops, creating reels, and growing my brand.
By passion, I’m pursuing nursing—starting as a CNA, and dreaming bigger every day.
Eventually, I want to become a nurse and continue helping people in deeper, more powerful ways. My vision is to merge my worlds—to use digital tools to uplift others, teach, and maybe even create content that educates and empowers future nurses.
What I’ve Learned So Far
You don’t have to choose one dream—sometimes your story holds many chapters.
Digital marketing gave me income and identity; healthcare is giving me heart and healing.
It’s never too late to start again, pivot, or chase something new.
To Anyone Walking Two Paths:
Keep going. You’re not behind—you’re just building a more layered, more powerful life. Whether you’re editing a reel or taking vitals, your work matters. Your journey matters.
And I’m right here with you—balancing content and care, hustle and healing, one step at a time.
