Just a Quick Note to Say… You’ve Got This!
|
Hi Reader , I just wanted to send a quick note to say—I see you. No matter where you are on your financial journey, every step forward is worth celebrating. When my husband and I first started working towards financial freedom, it often felt like a long, lonely road. But one thing I’ve learned is that even the smallest wins add up to something bigger. Maybe you paid off a little extra debt this month, had an honest money conversation with your partner, or simply felt more in control of your finances—those are all victories! I know that money can be a tricky topic, but I want to remind you that you're not alone. Keep going, keep learning, and most importantly, be kind to yourself along the way. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. And I am cheering you on every step of the way! Wishing you continued success on your journey. You’ve got this! Love,
P.S. If no one has told you this lately—you’re doing amazing. Keep going, and don’t forget to acknowledge how far you’ve already come! |

Hi Reader , I hope you're having a great week! I’m currently away enjoying some much-needed family time. We’re staying on a little island in Naivasha, here in Kenya — surrounded by giraffes, monkeys, gazelles, hippos… and yes, a few snakes too (but let’s not focus on those!). Spending intentional time together is something we deeply value. Instead of splurging on luxury items or regular dining out, we choose to save for experiences like these. It’s part of our WHY — to create memories...
Dear Reader , Did you know that April marks Financial Literacy Month? It started in the U.S. but has grown into a global movement, encouraging people to take a closer look at their finances and make small but powerful changes. And there’s no better place to start than with your budget. I’ve learned over the years that managing money successfully comes down to three key things: ✔️ Always keep learning – Read, listen, and invest in yourself. But remember, knowledge is only powerful when you...
