My Journey: The Series

DebtDiaryMom was born at one of the lowest points of my life.

After leaving my 9–5 job in 2024 with three months of emergency savings and a growing side business, I thought I had planned carefully. But a difficult pregnancy, a slowing business, drained savings, and mounting bills quickly changed everything. Credit cards maxed out. Stress grew. And in the middle of financial crisis, I lost my beloved dog — a loss that still shapes this journey.

With $88,720 in debt and no perfect plan, I chose transparency over shame.

This series documents our real debt repayment journey — the setbacks, the small wins, the tools we use, and the mindset shifts required to rebuild from zero.

No overnight success.
No polished perfection.
Just honest progress — dollar by dollar.

If you’re rebuilding too, you’re not alone. Let’s walk this road together.
