From Serving Coffee to Serving Clients: The Day I Made $500 in One Hour (And How You Can Too)

I’ll never forget the day I pulled up to my daughter’s elementary school with the biggest smile on my face.
She was in kindergarten, and I had just made more in one hour than I used to make in an entire week at the coffee shop.
It wasn’t just a financial breakthrough — it was a freedom moment.
Up until that point, I was working multiple jobs — serving lattes at a coffee shop, bookkeeping part-time at an accounting office, and trying to build my business in the cracks of my day. Every afternoon I’d drive to school pickup with that familiar feeling in my chest — tight, anxious, wondering if I’d ever get ahead.
My dream was simple: to pick my daughter up from school every single day without worry.
And then everything changed.
The Day Everything Shifted
I had been learning EFT Tapping for my own healing, but I hadn’t fully stepped into teaching it yet. One day, I decided to host a simple online workshop called The Basics of EFT. I charged $99. Five people signed up.
In one single hour… I made $500.
What I used to earn in a week, I made in 60 minutes.
That moment didn’t just change my bank account — it changed my identity. It showed me that I didn’t have to stay stuck in the “trade hours for dollars” cycle. I could serve people, change lives, and create freedom all at the same time.
How Can You Make More in an Hour Than in a Week?
Let me break it down simply:
1. Learn a Skill That Actually Helps People (Like Tapping)
You don’t need a fancy degree or years of training — EFT Tapping is simple, repeatable, and incredibly effective. Anyone can learn it and start helping others quickly.
2. Package It into a Simple Offer
My first offer wasn’t complicated. One hour, $99. People don’t pay for complexity — they pay for relief, clarity, peace.
3. Share It Online (Even to a Tiny Audience)
I didn’t have a big following. I just shared it on my Facebook page in a town of 8,000 people. Five people raised their hand. That’s all it took.
4. Repeat It Until It Becomes a System
Once you see something work — do it again. That one workshop turned into dozens more, then online programs, retreats, memberships, masterminds… and an entire career in tapping.
Why I Now Believe Emotional Freedom Is Financial Freedom
That $500 hour taught me something that I now teach every single person who walks through my doors:
When you regulate your nervous system, you unlock your earning potential.
You cannot build abundance from anxiety.
You cannot hold wealth in a dysregulated body.
That’s why EFT Tapping is such a powerful tool — it gives you the calm, clarity, and confidence to show up, share your gifts, and receive.
This Is Why I Created Tapping School
If you’re reading this thinking, “Could I really do this too?” — the answer is yes.
Tapping isn’t just for therapists or spiritual coaches. We’ve certified:
✅ Moms who wanted to create side income from home✅ Yoga teachers who wanted to go deeper with their students✅ Therapists who now use tapping instead of traditional talk therapy✅ Coaches who were tired of mindset talk and wanted mindset shifts✅ Women who simply wanted to help others feel better — and get paid well doing it
Whether your dream is to make $500 in an hour… or build a full-time freedom business… it starts with learning the skill.
Ready for Your First $500 Hour?
✨ Doors to Tapping School Certification are open until October 2nd. By early 2026, you could be fully certified, confidently leading your own workshops or private sessions — from anywhere in the world.
And hey — even if your first goal isn’t money…
Maybe it’s peace.Maybe it’s purpose.Maybe it’s presence with your kids.
Just know this:
When moms rise, our kids rise with us.
And your rise could start with one brave yes.
