Why Stepping Into 2026 Already Glowing Changes Everything
November is usually the month when I invite my Wealthy Women Conversations community to pick their word of the year. Every November, we spend weeks preparing for the next year together, choosing words that we believe will guide, anchor, and transform us. But this time, I did something different. Instead of waiting until November, I…

How Letting Go of What No Longer Fits Makes Room for Magic
When I first got married, my kitchen was filled with mismatched pots and pans — some passed down from family, others bought during my college days, a few picked up along the way. They weren’t special, but they worked. Or so I thought. Then came the Rachael Ray pot set. Bright orange, shiny, and beautiful.…

Why Expecting More of Yourself and Your Money Is the Best Gift You Can Give Yourself
I heard a woman on TikTok say something that stopped me in my tracks: “The very cells of your body can hear your thoughts.” Not just your words. Not just what you say out loud to your girlfriends, your coworkers, or your family. Your thoughts. The silent conversations you have with yourself when no one…

How Learning to Receive the Present Moment Creates Space for More
Not long ago, in the middle of planning my family’s move into our new home, I was on the phone with one of my good-good girlfriends. And yes — I always say good-good because one “good” isn’t enough to capture the depth of what those relationships mean to me. My husband was out of the…

Why Your Nervous System Is the Key to Experiencing True Wealth
A few weeks ago, I made a small but powerful decision: when I felt led to do something, I would get up and do it — without overthinking, without excuses, without the long list of reasons why “now isn’t the right time.” That day, I had a list of six errands to run. Normally, my…

How to Refresh Your Story, Standards, and Money Goals for 2026
Not long ago, I was sitting in my new home surrounded by all the things that felt impossible just two years earlier. And as I looked around, I found myself thinking: Some things I’ve desired, I’ve received. Some, I haven’t. What’s the difference? That simple question pulled me into an internal conversation — what I…

Yes to Wholeness Over Hustle
I was about 29 years old when I first realized that money wasn’t everything. At that time, my life looked like success on the outside. My bank account was healthy. I had several real estate properties in my portfolio. I hadn’t started investing in the stock market yet, but I had stamps in my passport…

Yes to Dreaming Bigger Than What’s Practical
There’s something magical that happens when you give yourself permission to dream beyond the limits of what seems reasonable. I remember watching a short YouTube clip of Steve Harvey back in 2022. He was talking about something he called the “300 List.” He said most people don’t get what they want out of life because…

Yes to More Than Enough Overflow
I spent years declaring overflow in my life through church and my religious upbringing. Sunday after Sunday, Wednesday after Wednesday, I would say the words with conviction: “I live in overflow. I have more than enough.” It felt powerful in the moment. It felt good to declare. But here’s the truth: I never paused long…

Yes to Saying No Without Explanation
I used to think saying “no” needed a dissertation. If someone asked me for help, for money, for my time, or for my energy, I would say “no” — but only after layering on every single reason that would prove my heart was still good. I wanted them to know that I wasn’t rejecting them,…
