About Us

Welcome to WhenDoesSheSleep!

The goal for us is to inspire others, especially women, to pursue their passion.  We all have different background stories, but I think it is fair to say that we all want financial freedom as our future.  The idea behind WhenDoesSheSleep? came from everyone who always asks me, when do you sleep?  In 2018, I got a mailer that said I could refinance and cash out... I didn't even know what that meant.  I had bought my first house in 2009 and didn't know anything more than how to pay the mortgage and the bills.  I was a special education teacher, working long hours to stay on top of lessons and reports and trying to raise two children on my own... like many women today I was doing the best I could and that was my only focus.  Then I got that mailer, and I was able to refinance my house, which actually lowered my monthly mortgage and the money I cashed out (the equity in my house) I used to pay off all the credit card debt I had accumulated).  Now what?  My credit score shot up because I paid the debt off and I knew I had to use this opportunity to change my life.  Then it happened, scrolling through FB like we all do, I came across an ad for "Flips to Fortune." Skeptical but looking for something I signed up for the evening seminar.  The day came and I was tire from work and simply talked myself out of going.  Then my daughter came home and she was excited to go... 26 years old at the time... she had the energy that I did not and lucky for me she did.  We went together and yes, they wanted you to pay for the next step, but it was only $99 and we could both attend the three day seminar.  Well, we went ahead and signed up and again, I was glad we did despite my continued skepticism.  That three days changed not only my life, but both my son and daughters life as well.  My son was 18 at the time and finishing high school so it took him a few more years to realize what we had stumbled into and get on board, but when he did we became a flipping family!

Our Mission

Help empower those who are stuck in a rut.  Also, to help teachers that work tirelessly to support students with special needs or who work in the career tech field - a field that needs more recognition as we enter an era where the craftsman/woman are retiring and leaving a gapping hole of opportunity to making money without necessarily going to a traditional college. Our mission is to continuously provide you with food for thought, follow our families journey as it has only just begun... yours can too!

Our Story - How it All Started

Several years ago my son said something that hit me like a ton of bricks.  "We are all so busy working for other people that we are literally too tired to think about working for ourselves and they system that we live in today is set up that way."  Then I read a book that said something to the same effect.  As a society we are programmed to finish school, then go back to school which typically puts us in debt.  Then you may or may not get a job in the field you went to school for, you meet your spouse, get married, buy a house (that you probably can't afford, but you have to have as much or more than others around you)... you fall victim to "keeping up with the Jones'.  Then you buy a new car or two and fill your wallet with credit cards to pay for everything you need to furnish the new house and make yourself look like your are living the life.  Before you know it, you are both living to pay the bills, working to keep up.  They call it lifestyle creep.  It's the psychology of spending more because you are making more.  Before you know it all you can do is think about how to pay off all the bills, so you work more hours or take on additional jobs. There is little time to think of anything else - your dreams, you personal financial freedom, you sanity.

The idea behind WhenDoesSheSleep? came from watching incredible women around us manage their lives with such grace and energy, making it seem like they never stop. We wanted to create a clothing brand that supports women in all their roles, from the professional to the personal, with outfits that make the transition between them seamless. Our pieces are thoughtfully designed to adapt to your busy schedule, helping you feel stylish no matter where your day takes you.
