It hit me one day... standing in the aisle at Target, tossing my usual deodorant, toothpaste, and detergent into the cart like I always had.
I paused. Not because of the prices (though they were creeping up).
But because I realized something kind of wild.
I've been buying the same everyday stuff for years. Brands I'm loyal to. Products I trust.
But none of those companies ever sent me a thank-you.
Not for using their product.
Not for telling my friends.
Definitely not for the thousands I've spent.
They made billions. I stayed stuck.
Then the deeper frustration sank in:
Even when I try to be intentional about which brands I support, even when I pick "cleaner" products or "better" options... it all traces back to the same handful of billion-dollar corporations.
The same people who raise prices and lower quality.
The same 1% who pad their profits while we count quarters at the gas pump.
The same corporations that wouldn't notice if we disappeared-
but somehow keep getting richer every time we refill our cart.
It's not fair.
It's exhausting.
...And it made me mad enough to do something different.
That's when I started my Freedom Project.
It's not a side hustle. It's a shift.
A shift in how I think. A shift in how I shop. A shift in how I build my future - starting with small decisions I make every day.
Like where I buy my deodorant.
That one simple shift turned into cash back in my pocket, cleaner products on my skin, and an income stream that's growing-quietly, steadily-into something big.
If you've ever felt stuck...
If you've ever wondered how to stop living paycheck to paycheck, or how to actually build something for yourself without quitting your job or taking a giant risk?
Start here.
Start by buying the things you already use-from you.
The deodorant is $7.95.
The detergent is $12.95.
And the shift it sparks? That part's priceless.
Ready to take some of your money back?
Because your future doesn't start "someday."
It starts with your next shopping list.
