Born into the Struggle, Built for the Fight
"Struggle taught me to stand. Faith taught me where to walk."
Living by faith and hope.
I’m a mother of three, a wife, and a woman walking boldly in faith. My journey began in the margins—poverty and addiction shaped the environment I was born into, but they didn’t write my future. Through grace, perseverance, and deep-rooted belief, I’ve grown into someone who breaks cycles and builds a normal life. My life hasn’t been easy—but it’s been full of purpose. I come from a place where hardship was the norm: poverty, addiction, and uncertainty were all part of my beginning. But I’ve chosen a different path—one rooted in faith, love, and relentless determination. This blog isn’t just about me—it’s for anyone searching for hope, healing, and a reminder that your past doesn’t define your future. If my journey resonates with you, I invite you to walk alongside me. Let’s grow, encourage, and inspire each other.
My First Blog
My name is Shelby Olvera, and I’m 33 years old, a wife, and a proud mother of three. My journey hasn’t been a straight line or a picture-perfect path—it’s been a climb out of poverty, a walk through the shadows of my parents had addiction problems, and a constant leaning on faith to make it through. I come from a family where struggle was normal. Addiction ran deep, and resources were scarce. There were days when I felt invisible, unheard, and like my story would never matter. But through faith, I found something more powerful than fear—hope. And with hope, I began to believe that the life I wanted was possible. I also married outside my culture—my husband is Hispanic, and that opened up a new world of love, learning, and growth. Together, we’ve built a home filled with laughter, warmth, and fierce determination to give our kids a future defined by love, not limitations.
