Hi, I’m Marelise, the mom behind Broke to Boujee Mom. I’m a 34-year-old South African mom of two little ones, and like so many of us, I’ve been through the ups and downs of juggling motherhood, money struggles, and chasing a better life for my family.

After years of trying different “make money online” methods, teaching myself new skills (including AI!), and learning how to keep my energy up while raising toddlers — I decided to start Broke to Boujee Mom.

This space is about being real: no perfect Pinterest mom vibes, no fake promises — just honest tools, simple guides, and motivation for moms who are trying to get their lives back together mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally.

Everything I create is tested in my own life first — from smoothie plans to mom survival guides — so you know it’s practical and made for real moms in real life.

If I can start from “broke” and work my way toward “boujee,” one small step at a time — so can you. And I’d love to walk that journey with you.
