Living with Fibromyalgia for more than 4 decades has shown me many challenges. I know firsthand the toll it can take—not just physically, mentally, and emotionally, but also in all of my relationships, not to mention how difficult it was to have stable finances. Living with chronic pain impacts every aspect of your life every day! My experience living life with Fibromyalgia has shaped my entire outlook on life, including my dream to be financially secure no matter what Fibromyalgia throws my way. When I started looking for help, I did not find what I was looking for, so that is why I founded Fibro Wealth with a very clear philosophy: no gatekeeping, just honesty, and a straightforward approach.
In the world of business, especially in the online space, there is often a sense of secrecy—like success is only available to a select few. You have to "buy into the system" or “crack the code” to see any real results. As someone who’s lived through the frustrations of trying to balance a career with a debilitating condition, I’ve seen too much of this. That’s why my approach is different. There’s no hidden formula or magic trick to Fibro Wealth. I don’t believe in keeping secrets from those who are genuinely seeking to improve their lives. Choosing to be financially stable takes work, but anything worth having does! My goal is to empower others, especially those living with chronic illnesses like Fibromyalgia, to achieve financial independence working from home. I provide straightforward, actionable strategies that people can implement today. I want others to have access to the tools that have worked for me without having to jump through the hoops to get them like I did.
Living with Fibromyalgia for over four decades has taught me that honesty is not just a core principle—it’s a survival tool. When you live with chronic pain, there’s no room for pretending. You have to be honest with yourself and others about your limitations, your abilities, and what you need to do to live a meaningful and comfortable life. The same applies to business. When I was young my dad always told me two things. “It takes money to make money” and “Many hands make light work”. Choosing to invest money into yourself is never wrong, because no matter what happens, you will get a great education. As far as the “many hands make light work”, I apply this concept to providing value packed digital products that you can use for yourself as is, or tweak them slightly to sell as 100% your own! This concept does not require you to start from scratch all on your own! Many hands before you have provided a detailed map forward for marketing your new digital products! Gotta love those Dad quotes!
In my Fibro Wealth business, I speak openly about my journey, my struggles, and my wins. I don’t sugarcoat the difficulties of running a business while managing a chronic illness, but I do make it clear that it is possible. The key is to set realistic goals, to manage your energy wisely, prioritize flexibility, and to leverage technology to find creative ways to build income streams that don’t require a traditional 9-to-5 grind. Whether it’s offering insights on passive income strategies, digital marketing, or the importance of self-care, I make sure every piece of advice comes from a place of truth. The important thing to remember is to just never give up! Regroup, yes! Give up, never! There’s no room for complicated jargon or unrealistic expectations in my business. My goal is to help people understand that financial freedom is achievable. It simply requires genuine effort, a clear understanding of what works, and a specific plan to follow. I don’t believe in selling “dreams” that can’t be realized. Instead, I offer straightforward advice and practical strategies that align with the reality of living with fibromyalgia. Find what works for you, and work it. It’s really that simple of a concept.
My philosophy doesn’t come from theory or observation—it’s born out of lived experience. I’ve spent 46 years adapting to Fibromyalgia, learning how to thrive despite its challenges, and discovering the best ways to earn a living without sacrificing my health. I have stumbled and fallen many times while working in many different careers, but always chose to get back up and keep trying! I’ve built Fibro Wealth as a platform to share that knowledge, and to help others see that there is a way to build a fulfilling, successful life in spite of having a chronic illness. It is possible to achieve independence and financial security while maintaining good health, all with a foundation of compassion, empathy, and most importantly, honesty. Fibromyalgia may shape our lives, but it doesn’t have to define our dreams. With the right tools, mindset, and guidance, we can all build something meaningful and sustainable. I hope you join me on this journey!
