Sounds crazy, right? Well, I felt like I was going crazy. I was working 80-90 hour weeks at the post office during Covid and I just wasn’t in a healthy place mentally. Those long days away from my family started taking a toll on me and I knew I wasn’t the only one who was struggling with their mental health. That’s when I decided it was time to put myself first and quit my job to start a mental health brand.
The only question left was how was I going to pay for it?
You hear stories of people who started companies with a $1 to their name, but all my money went to taking care of my family. Then I remembered I was approved for a $250 cash advance from Empower, even more than I was approved for in the past and when I say someone was looking out for me, I’m not kidding.
Whoever created this app was thinking of people coming from all walks of life. After getting the financial help I needed, I was able to focus on a healthier mindset and helping others get there, too. My brand will be here long after me, but knowing I did my part to help others just like Empower helped me, makes me happy. So, this is your sign to not be afraid to ask for help. Mentally or financially. You don't have to do this alone.
