This is why we choose memories over things…

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 together as a family. Having a clear WHY is what helps us stay aligned, focused, and committed to what truly matters — and I’ve seen time and time again how powerful that clarity can be in transforming not just your finances, but your whole life. So let me ask you — what’s your WHY? What keeps you motivated when things get tough? I’d genuinely love to know — feel free to reply to this email and share it with me. But if you’re spending money in ways that don’t really match what matters most to you — or you’re not even sure what that is — you’re not alone. That’s exactly what my new, two-part coaching session is here to help you with. Inside ‘Create an Intentional Spending Plan That You Can Stick To’, we’ll get clear on your personal priorities and build a simple, values-based plan for how you use your money — one that actually fits your life.
By the end of our sessions, you’ll walk away with:
This isn’t about cutting back for the sake of it. It’s about spending with purpose — and finally feeling like your money is working for you, not against you. I have a couple of spots open this coming week. So, if you’re ready to start being intentional with your hard earned cash, then click here to save your spot today! I can’t wait to support you! With love, |

Hello Reader, Can you believe we're already in week 3 of January? I know. It feels like 2026 just started... and yet here we are, almost a full month in. So let me ask you: how's it going? If I had to guess, you're probably in one of two places right now: Option 1: You're crushing it. You set financial goals on January 1st and you're actually following through. (If this is you - amazing! Keep going!) Option 2: You had good intentions. You said "this is the year we get our finances together."...
Hi Reader , One of the most common things I hear from couples is: "We just can't get on the same page about money." One person wants to save. The other wants to enjoy life now. One sees a budget as freedom. The other sees it as restriction. Sound familiar? Here's the truth: getting on the same financial page doesn't mean you have to think exactly alike. It means you understand each other and work together toward a shared vision. This week, try this: Sit down with your spouse and ask them: "If...
Hello Reader , As a finance coach for couples, I get asked all the time: "What's the ONE book we should read together?" Without hesitation, I recommend "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel. Here's why this book is a game-changer: It taught my husband and I (and now the couples I work with) that personal finance is more personal than it is finance. Our money decisions are driven by emotions, experiences and psychology rather than pure logic. Understanding why we make certain money...
