Every year, my favorite meeting isn’t glamorous, but it’s deeply meaningful. It’s the one I have with my accountant, Lucy Correa-Macias.

I met Lucy 18 years ago when my first son was still in a stroller. It was my first time filing taxes on my own, and I was completely lost. I walked into her H&R Block feeling overwhelmed, overweight, stressed, and broke.

Since then, Lucy has seen every chapter of my personal growth journey, from surviving on government assistance to writing checks for tens of thousands in taxes.

The transformation has been massive. What I call my journey from food stamps to first class isn’t just about finances, it’s about mindset, healing, and choosing a different path.

What’s made the biggest difference in my life? Gratitude.

My daily gratitude practice helped shift my perspective, raise my energy, and ultimately change my reality. And it’s something I now share with others through my books.

If you’re ready to shift your mindset and start your own journey, my gratitude books are available on Amazon: 📚 From Food Stamps To First Class 

Let this be your reminder: no matter where you start, transformation is possible.
