Excerpt – My “Make It Happen” Mantra
Through heartbreak, self-doubt, and late nights spent sanding drywall or editing content, one mantra has carried me:
Make it happen.

It’s not just a catchphrase—it’s a mindset. It’s what I told myself when I was a single mom with a baby on my hip and a drill in my hand. It’s what I whispered when I didn’t know how to tile a floor, but did it anyway. It’s the voice I still hear every time I take on a new renovation, pitch a brand, or speak on stage.

“Make it happen” reminds me that momentum matters more than perfection—and that I am capable, even when things feel messy, uncertain, or hard.

This mantra didn’t just build homes—it built me.
