The Instagram account grew significantly fast during the first year. I saw an opportunity and dedicated my time to creating an online business that would give me freedom. With the collaboration of other illustrators, I created digital products, which would bring consistent passive income to my online business. I couldn't believe it! I started to scale it thanks to my knowledge of digital marketing, and it worked!

While I was successfully earning money through my passion, I was feeling guilty. My limiting beliefs about money were so strong that I started freelancing again with boring clients in the corporate world. I was feeling comfortable exchanging my time for money rather than receiving passive incomes. Even if I was not advertising my digital products anymore, my audience continued to buy them and to thank me for the help they got from their purchase. After one year of doubting myself, I knew something had to change. If I were to carry on, I needed to shift my mindset. I started looking at myself as an empowered businesswoman and not as a side hustler while freelancing. I decided to invest in myself with courses and coaches to step into a new role.
