While the days of driving a beater are long gone, Sweeney said has a hard time coming to terms with her success.
"It's a weird feeling when people are like, 'Oh, you're successful,' or say, 'You've made it,'" Sweeney says.

And though she might never feel comfortable financially, she's proud of how far she's come.
