The Real Path to Building a Notary Business: What I Did, What Failed, & What Paid Off

This episode is one of the most personal ones I’ve ever recorded. I open up about how my divorce shaped the path I’m on now — not as something that broke me, but as something that pushed me toward the life and the work I was meant to build.Check out my digital products: https://shanajraydigitals.gumroad.com/I talk about the way transitions, emotional strain, and those “pause moments” have played a role in my growth. Not setbacks — just chapters that required me to reset, breathe, and return stronger. Through all of it, becoming a notary was more than a business decision. It was a lifeline, a new identity, and a way to step into something I’ve wanted since childhood while discovering passions I didn’t even know I had as an adult.This episode shares the vulnerable truth about restarting again and again, choosing purpose after every pause, and building a business while healing, learning, and constantly evolving. My notary journey is tied to my divorce, my resilience, and my desire to help people — and I’m finally speaking about how deeply connected all of that is.I’m excited to keep sharing my story, my growth, my business, and the behind-the-scenes of everything I’m building. If you’re navigating your own transitions — whether easier or harder — I hope this episode reminds you that you can rebuild, reshape, and rise in your own time.Stay tuned. There’s so much more I’m ready to talk about.
