I didn’t come from a safety net. I came from survival.

I was abandoned by my parents and raised by unstable grandparents. At 17, I became a mother not by choice, but by circumstance and I didn’t have the heart to end a life I didn’t yet understand. From that moment, I was determined to fight for a future beyond the ghetto I grew up in.

I cleaned toilets. I worked as a cashier, receptionist, sales rep, executive assistant, and in business/ office management all while raising my daughter and hustling to keep us afloat. There were years of moving from house to house, choosing between food and bills, and silently carrying the weight of survival.

And yet, through it all, I was an entrepreneur at heart. I started businesses and flopped them. I learned how to grind, rebuild, and rise again. I learned resilience the hard way.

But here’s the truth I had to face: the grind was the cage. Hustle wasn’t freedom it was survival in disguise. My nervous system was shot, my patterns kept me trapped, and I was stuck in loops I couldn’t name.

That’s when everything shifted. I stopped proving and started living. I rewired my patterns. I built systems that felt safe. I found clarity I didn’t even know I was missing. Piece by piece, I became someone new.

Now, I’m Charlee Luna the founder of Grit Truly. My mission is simple: to help visionaries, founders, and humans like you break free from the loops, build systems that support your life, and step into clarity, wealth, and freedom.

Because I know what it’s like to have the odds stacked against you. And I also know what it takes to break free and to never go back.
