Wonderful! Hi, I’m Shartaya Mollett, and I very much appreciate you checking this page with the desire to know more about me.
And as you certainly have figured out already, I’m the heart behind Joyful Little Nest…The cozy corner of the internet where I channel my zeal for the vibrant journey of motherhood, personal growth, and life success into words that I hope will resonate with you.
My life is like a beautiful quilt made from two wonderful roles; one; being a wife, and two, being a mom…Those are my greatest sources of pride and happiness. Ever since I was young, I dreamed of being a wife and a mother, and I’ve fully embraced it for several amazing years now.
My journey isn’t just about being a wife and a mom; it’s also about being a woman tackling personal life challenges and making room for self improvement. From my biggest successes to my toughest moments, every experience, thought, and feeling has a place in my heart, and I want to share those experiences with you.
I do this in hopes of helping other moms and women in general find balanced and happiness while raising their families.
My Educational level and profession
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University. It wasn’t just about studying theories and research; it was about grasping the intricate tapestry of family life.
During my time at Pen State, I was also honored to be named the 2006 Homecoming Queen, reflecting my involvement in campus life and my dedication to a diverse and excellent student community.
After my bachelor’s, I pursued a Master of Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh, focusing on Direct Practice with Individuals, Families, and Small Groups. That MSW allowed me to take a deep dive into understanding family dynamics and finding ways to positively impact lives.
My education also equipped me with the ability to conduct research, and I even published a paper on childhood obesity at Penn State. This isn’t just something on my resume; it’s a testament to my commitment to using academic knowledge in practical ways that help families navigate their challenges and find success.
My Life Back Then vs My Life Now
Life can sometimes throw unexpected curveballs at us we’re not sure how to handle. But for the resilient woman who doesn’t accept defeat in life, anything is possible.
I experienced set backs, ups and downs in my life, but I always found a way to come back on top.
1. My Life Back Then
I Started Life With Young Parents
Growing up with young parents, I learned a lot from my extended family as well. I developed into someone who wanted everyone around me to succeed and often worried about their well-being. My early years were focused on supporting others while managing my own hopes and concerns for their futures.
I Enjoyed The College Life
From engaging classes and inspiring professors to unforgettable moments with friends and exciting campus events, every part of my college life was a rewarding adventure. The experiences I had and the growth I achieved during this time came as incredibly fulfilling. I’m grateful for all the opportunities and memories that shaped my journey.
My Most Promising Relationship Failed
Things in my relationship were going great, and I felt really happy. But then, right after getting pregnant, and as we were planning for a wedding, we started having more arguments and couldn’t talk things through like we used to. It felt like everything was falling apart. When our daughter was three months, I knew deep down that I could no longer be in an unhealthy relationship. Months later; I used the little strength that I had left at the time to pack up me and my baby girl to relocate to a new state for a fresh start.
I Lived The Single Mother Life For Five Years
Back then, as a single mother I faced the challenges and joys that come with raising a child on my own. From managing all the daily responsibilities to balancing work and home life, I understand the dedication and resilience it takes. I’ve been through the ups and downs, and I truly empathize with the struggles that single mothers go through every day.
I Worked in The Corporate World But Wasn’t Happy With It
After college, I started working in the corporate world, but it wasn’t a good fit for me. The job involved following strict directions and filling out endless paperwork, which felt like part of a broken system. I realized that I wanted to do something more meaningful connecting with people, helping families, and supporting them in achieving their dreams. So, I quit corporate America to go after what I really wanted.
2. My Life Now
I’m Enjoying Marriage and Taking Care of Myself
Today, I’m happily married, and it has truly transformed my life in the most positive ways. Being married has brought me immense joy and a deep sense of companionship. It’s amazing to share my life with someone who supports and understands me, even when I feel lost. Our journey together has enriched my daily experiences.
I’m Taking Care of My Children and Husband
Children and husbands have specific needs to thrive, and I’ve learned that these needs aren’t always obvious to everyone. Through my experience, I’ve discovered the key routines and practices that are crucial for their success and happiness. I make it a priority to ensure that these daily essentials are met, helping my family stay balanced and fulfilled.
I’m Saving Money and Investing Wisely
I’m focused on saving and investing wisely, not just for myself but for my family’s future. I believe that making these financial practices a priority is essential for any woman who wants a brighter future for her loved ones. Over the years, I’ve learned simple routines that make it easier to grow our money and secure our financial well-being.
I’m Making More Money
I discovered a great way how to earn more money working from home and I can show you how to do the same. Earning money from home is not hard when you know how, and it allows for greater savings and investment opportunities for a brighter future. I currently run a successful home-based business and would be happy to guide you in achieving great results.
I’ve Let Go and I Let God
To transform my life, I realized I had to change myself. If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting the same results. I found that many people, especially women, sabotage their futures by clinging to past negativity. Blaming themselves or others doesn’t help; the key is to let go of the past and focus on starting fresh…Let Go – Let God.
