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 , We used to think we were hopeless with money. Every January, we'd set ourselves some new money goals. Set strict spending limits. Promise ourselves this time would be different. By March? We'd be ordering takeout, feeling guilty and convinced we lacked willpower. Sound familiar? Here's what we discovered: We weren't the problem. The approach was. Most budgets start with the wrong question. They ask: "How little can you spend?" But the right question is: "What do you want your...
Hello Reader , I had to share this with you because it was such a game-changer for our summer trip to the UK! We have just spent six weeks visiting friends and family, but halfway through, my husband and I were craving some alone time. You know how it is – as much as we love everyone, sometimes you just need your own space to recharge. So we started looking at Airbnbs for a week away... and nearly fell off our chairs at the prices. $2000+ for a decent house for just one week? My finance coach...
Dear Reader , If you’ve been doing all the right things, budgeting, cutting back, trying to save, but still feel stuck, you’re not alone. The truth is, most people don’t struggle with discipline.They struggle with direction. Because without a clear money goal, it’s hard to stay motivated. You can track spending all day long but if you don’t know what you’re working toward, it starts to feel pointless. This one mindset shift changed everything for us:When we decided to take our daughter to...
