How learning to control your mind and money I will help you find authentic wealth and happiness!
am sure if you ask anyone who knows me, they will say I am passionate about anything I truly love or believe in. This would include my family, friends, and of course, my passion for all thing’s money and personal finance. My sister, on the other hand, would say that my love and understanding of money is not just a passion, but more like a strange gift I was born with. As children, if we each had $5, she would spend $5 and I would spend $2 and save
the rest.
This gift is probably why I was drawn to start my Financial Planning, Coaching & Speaking company after work-
ing for over 20 years in banking and finance. In my corporate career, I just could not relieve financial stress, motivate change, and help women achieve their goals in a truly authentic way. Money is a very emotional topic for most women. If you can get to the emotions or beliefs around money, you build a deeper connection and level of hope with people.
That feeling of seeing someone have an “ah-ha” moment and feel motivated to make a change is one of the things that inspires me the most in life - a true comeback story. I often see this in clients and groups I work with. Those who are
willing to do almost anything to change their financial future and do the hard work - the ones with the courage to change are truly inspiring.
In addition to finding inspiration in a good comeback story, I find that being grateful reminds me to keep looking and moving forward. For me, like a lot of women, looking back means being vulnerable and admitting your life has not been perfect. As a wom-
an diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety late in my adult life, looking back at years of chaos and shame is something I have learned to share and embrace to help others.

Understanding the powerful emotional connection between mental health and financial health is a vital part
of what I do as a Certified Financial Planner, Coach and Speaker. By speaking and sharing a part of my story,
I have realized that not all people want to get their professional financial advice from a perfectly put
together stuffy banker or salesperson. Some people want to get it from a funky haired Rockstar who knows her stuff and relates to the real-world in
business and finance. I am the Financial Guru & Behavioural Finance Speaker & Coach you
need to connect with.
If you think like a WOMAN, then it's time to join our tribe
and plan like a BOSS!
