I’m a solo mom on 65 acres in the Catskills holding intentional retreats and just founded a nonprofit. I heat my house with a stove, carry wood from a spring, and bake every week while running businesses and being a mama. I started all of this without a penny to my name and massive pain. If I listened to everyone who thought I was incapable or that I was doing too much I never would have tried. You’re not bound by the norm. Sometimes flowers bloom in the cracks of sidewalks too.
