When Budgeting Stopped Working
A few years ago, I was sitting at my kitchen table, MBA in hand, kids running wild, and tears in my eyes over a bill. Not because it was huge — but because I was so tired of trying to make the numbers work.
I’d tried every app, every spreadsheet, every budget method out there.
And still… I felt behind.
That’s when I realized the truth:
It wasn’t me. It was the system.
You’ll find me teaching money strategy with a side of sass, reading something soul-nourishing, chasing my kids, or talking to my plants like they pay rent.
Excuses, quick fixes, fake positivity, endless hustle, or overcomplicating life. Real growth needs real solutions—and I’m all in for what actually works.
Straight talk, a splash of electrolytes, short emails, data-driven decisions, and cutting out the 'meh' to make room for the very best.
You don’t need more discipline. You need a plan that actually fits your life.
Let’s make it happen.
My superpower is helping women ditch money stress and feel calm, clear, and confident — without adding to their mental load.
I had the MBA, the spreadsheets, the finance career… and I was still crying over bills. Not because they were huge — but because I was carrying the invisible load and trying to hold it all in my head.
That’s when I realized: it wasn’t me. It was the system.
So I built a better one.

The Beach! It's my zone of serenity where all of my best ideas happen.
Listening to the waves with a good book in hand. There’s nothing like the calm of the ocean and getting lost in a great story. Emily Henry, anyone?
