Over the last several years, we made some big decisions for our family. Nicole followed her dream of building an insurance agency full-time, and Sean eventually stepped away from his traditional corporate job as health challenges made that path more difficult. Building a business and navigating health issues haven't always been easy financially, and more recently, unexpected medical expenses have added another mountain to climb.

So we're doing what we've always done... figuring out how to keep moving forward.

As we share our journey, we're also working to build additional income through affiliate partnerships and products we genuinely use, like, or think may be helpful to others. When you shop through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

That income is helping us work toward some pretty big goals: paying down debt, tackling medical bills, continuing to build our businesses, creating more experiences and vacations with our family, and—when we've reached and maintained our health goals—hopefully funding skin removal surgery.
