Have you ever felt like it’s too late to fix your finances? Are old money habits from your past still influencing your decisions today?

This episode dives into the financial mindset shifts that are especially important in midlife. We’re unpacking how your upbringing, past choices, and long-held beliefs might be keeping you stuck, and what you can do to change that.

Tune in for simple advice and real encouragement to help you take the next step with confidence.

I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday.

After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business.

Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances.

“You've got to prioritize yourself, learn to say no, and just really set the boundaries and expectations so that you're not responsible for taking care of everybody in your life, and that is okay. There is nothing wrong with that.”

- Ashley Patrick
