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! |

But remember, knowledge is only powerful when you...
Hi Reader , This past week, our daughter won a school swimming race. No big deal, you might think—it’s not the Olympics. But for her, it was a huge moment. Gold! Just four weeks ago, she was on the hockey team. She loved hockey and had been playing for three years, showing up rain or shine—whether it was a 6am practise or a 7pm match. No matter how tough it got, she kept going, determined to improve and be a team player. But instead of lifting her up, her team tore her down. They blamed her...
Dear Reader , I know budgeting isn’t at the top of most people’s to-do lists. It can feel restrictive, overwhelming, or even boring. But the truth is, a budget isn’t about saying no—it’s about creating the freedom to say yes to the things that truly matter. The key is to create a budget that you can stick to—one that’s simple, flexible, and works for you. That’s exactly what I help my clients do! Whether it’s setting up an easy-to-follow budget, reviewing spending habits, or making tweaks...
