Meet ToughBaby
Tired of feeling like a hot mess?
Me too. I’m working to develop my inner “ToughBaby” — the strongest, best version of myself.
I’m building resilience, wellness, and purpose and writing about it here.

Channeling ToughBaby
It’s time to feel better. ToughBaby can help.
No whining, no drama.
RESILIENCE
Keep getting up – that’s the whole game. We’re stronger than our setbacks.
WELLNESS
Get strong. Care for yourself like you matter. Remember: No health, no life.
PURPOSE
Your gifts are YOU – use them. Live the life you’re meant for.
Who Is ToughBaby?
You know that voice inside you — the one that says “get up” when you want to stay down, “keep going” when you want to quit, “you’ve got this” when doubt creeps in?
That’s your ToughBaby.
She’s not some fairy godmother or superhero coming to save you. She’s already there: the very best version of You.
ToughBaby is about tapping into and channeling the inner strength to face reality without buffering — to choose growth over comfort, action over avoidance, strength over weakness.
Why I’m Doing This
I’m Jane Maker, and I’ve spent decades buffering with food, spending, and self-destructive behaviors. I played small, broke promises to myself, and settled for less.
Now I’m pulling the loose thread – the one that unravels it all.
I’m facing my own patterns with overeating and lack of exercise — because that’s where my transformation starts.
I’ve always journaled. This is me continuing that practice, with accountability, as I work to become more resilient, proactive, healthier, and purposeful.
If you want to subscribe and begin your own journey alongside me, I’d love that! Let’s work this out together.
