For twenty years, I ran a food and beverage business — long hours, no days off, and constant pressure to keep things going. From the outside, it looked like success. But behind the scenes, I was burned out, disconnected from my own life, and constantly in survival mode. I knew something had to change, but I didn’t know where to begin.

I started small — teaching English on weekends and later working with children with special needs. It gave me a sense of purpose I hadn't felt in years, but when the pandemic hit, everything stopped. My business closed, the teaching paused, and I was left with zero income and a family to support. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to start over — especially in my 40s, with no clear path forward.

That’s when I found VKids Trend — first as a learning tool for my son, then as a business opportunity. It allowed me to work from home, support other parents, and rebuild both my confidence and income. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I was moving forward — not just surviving, but growing.
