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! |

Step 1: Start with a solid meal plan Before you even write your list, take a few...
Hi Reader , Do you and your partner ever wish you could talk about money without it turning into a heated debate? Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a space where you can align your financial goals, celebrate your victories and support each other—without fear of judgement? And what if you could get honest, actionable advice when you need it most? That’s exactly why I created the Money and Marriage Facebook group. This is the community I wish my husband and I had when we started our financial...
Hi Reader , I believe true financial wealth is built in the quiet moments—the ones where we choose to do what’s important, even when it’s not urgent. Things like reviewing your finances, tracking your spending patterns, setting up sinking funds, or finally starting that emergency fund—none of it screams for your attention. But those quiet tasks? They’re the ones that make the biggest difference over time. That’s why I’m such a fan of “money dates”—just 20 minutes a month to take intentional...
