I Deserve Nice Things (And So Does My Bank Account)
I had to learn that I deserve nice things. And listen, that might sound simple. It might sound like the kind of thing you hear on a podcast or scroll past on Instagram—“You deserve it, Sis!” But for me, it was more than just a cute affirmation. It was a declaration. A reclamation. Because I…

What Makes My Money Feel Happy
Happy. That’s my word for 2025.I chose it with intention. I wanted to remind myself every single day that happy is a choice. Not just a feeling that shows up when life is good, but a decision I get to make—even in the small, sometimes routine moments that don’t make the highlight reels. I chose…

I remember the first time I heard it. I was sitting in a business workshop, scribbling down notes, listening to the speaker rattle off all the things you should be doing if you’re serious about success.

I still remember that Wealthy Women Academy Zoom call like it was yesterday. The familiar faces were all lined up in little squares across my screen, each woman settling in with a cup of coffee or tea, ready to talk money. These weren’t surface conversations—we went deep. We unpacked debt, generational money stories, and the…

Slowing Down Changed My Money—Here’s What Shifted
I grew up hearing the same things so many of us hear: “If you want more, you have to work harder.” “Good things come to those who hustle.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” It was embedded in my bones before I even knew what money really was. And I believed it. I didn’t just believe…

The Wealthier Side of My Slow Life
It was one of our yummy book club meetings—the kind that makes you want to pull your knees up on the couch, sip something warm, and just be. We hadn’t even cracked open the book yet; everyone was still coming in, finding their spots, settling in. You could hear the low hum of laughter, the…
