Some mornings, I wake up later than I’d like to. That’s the truth. Living with a chronic illness means I don’t always get to choose when my body is ready to move — but once I do, I give it everything I have.
For years, I thought working hard meant waking up at dawn, never stopping, never resting. But I’ve learned that real strength isn’t about how early you start — it’s about how much heart you put into the time you have.
Even on the hardest days, I show up. Whether it’s running The Korporate Kleansers, helping Miguel, or doing something for my boys — I still find purpose. And that purpose keeps me fighting, even when my body wants to slow down.
I’ve also learned that leadership doesn’t always look like hustle and noise. Sometimes it looks like quiet perseverance. It looks like showing grace to yourself while still holding onto your dreams.
I may not wake up early, but I never stop rising. 🌅
