Hello Reader

I know the pangs of being furloughed as a single mom. When COVID hit, I faced that same quiet fear—the one that whispers, “How will I make this work?”

When I was furloughed, I decided then and there I would never be at the mercy of someone else’s decision for my economic future. Although I was rehired, I used those months to build a business I loved. After I was led to step out and go full-time, just weeks later, I landed my first six-figure client.

I took my power back. Deuteronomy 8:17-18 AMP reminds us: Verse 18 does not say that God gives you wealth—it says that He gives you the power to get wealth. That means you have the power to create, obtain, assimilate, or possess wealth. God gives the power—you are the one who works to obtain the wealth by the wisdom and power of God! I utilized my WYIC Framework to reclaim my life of abundance, and I continue to teach women how to do the same.

Right now, our BIPOC single mom community in Round Rock is feeling that pressure again. Families are waiting on SNAP benefits, juggling childcare gaps, and adjusting to furloughs or reduced income.

Here’s the truth: while we can’t control the government or every outside factor, we can control our response—and even build resilience that protects us during uncertain times.

That’s exactly what I teach in Recession Proof Your Business. Today, I want to give you 3 practical steps you can start using right now:

1. Map Your Micro-Income Opportunities: Look at your skills, hobbies, and resources. What can you offer this week that creates immediate cash flow? Even small amounts add up.
2. Create a Stability Buffer: Set aside any extra money you can—even $5–$10 per day—into a dedicated “safety fund.” This simple habit builds breathing room when unexpected expenses arise.
3. Leverage Your Community: Reach out, trade services, or collaborate with other single moms. Shared resources and ideas create stability far beyond what one person can do alone.

These steps won’t fix everything overnight—but they do give you a framework to start reclaiming your power, even in stressful times.

If you want a full roadmap for protecting your income and building resilient business streams, my Recession Proof Your Business program dives deep into practical strategies that work for women like us or the woman in your sphere, even during a shutdown or recession.
