I wanted to share a powerful story with all of you... I am going to share a powerful story of success. How does a depressed, suicidal single mother go from not making ends meet to having success online? I have not been more thankful or proud of myself for what I am doing before I joined empower network. I've connected with a great woman couple years ago who has tremendously encouraged my walk, my faith, my self confidence, and has watched me grow into this amazing woman I am today. You see... I wasn't always happy with my life or who I am. So I want to share with you my story from being suicidal, on drugs, depressed, and how I was able to turn my life around and make amazing results online.

I had to grow up fast and learn how to be a mother who was young, scared and had to take care of this innocent child who I loved so much but still did not love myself. Few years later, I got my G.E.D, Went to college but life was still only "ok", always living at family members houses. Having another child, then we never had enough money to buy diapers or much for ourselves. We had help but felt so guilty for getting that much help that I hunted for a change. I decided I would try to invest on myself and join empower network in 2012. I wanted to transform our lives, I studied hard for 3 months, staying up all night... but after, I went penniless once again. I didn't get it, I still hated myself, and I didn't und
