The glass ceiling is real, y’all.

Back in 2010, I got the bug to shatter the glass ceiling to my financial growth.

I recall my husband saying, “when you make it, I saw the perfect office space for you.”

Because bigger office space equaled greater success.

But for me, success was not having that overhead.
