Sharing the Manual

This one is going to be a blast, why because there are times when I don’t know who the parent is in my home, lol. I laugh because sometimes I think my kids are teaching me far more than I have ever taught them through the years. For an adult, I lack the idea to have roots deeply planted in the ground. I’m a little more of a free spirit than some.

Who recalls growing up and saying I will never be like my mom or my dad? Ya, I did that, I was a miss know-it-all kid. Turns out omg I have some of her traits, they are showing up where did that come from.

The kids and I have had some pivot moments in our lives that have led us to where we are today. Not easy but we persevered though. I had spent six years being a single mom with three kids, throw on top of that navigating school to get an education, a new career, the juggling act of life. There were a lot of rough patches let me tell you which I will be sharing with you today in hopes to make you laugh and realize you are not alone and you to got this!

Our emotions around money drive our relationship with money. Our feelings can be tied to many things, upbringing, the first memory of money, environments in which we live, the world, our partners, media, and so much more.

I feel like this is a loaded episode; where do we even begin. Shit, there are many things that I wish I had known sooner, especially when it comes to starting over. I want to touch on all area's money, parenting, relationships, career, and who knows what will come out. May the stories just roll off my tongue.

Now for you starting over may be from a divorce, separation, disability, unemployment, or maybe you're like me, and you experienced a loss. Either way, starting over sucks; it's hard and feels very isolating and lonely much of the time. But, you are not alone; join me as I share some wins, epic flops, and stories along the way to build a culture of strong, empowering women doing life together one story at a time.

We dare you to journey with us as we tackle the hard topics.

We all have a story, but did you know that we have a money story? Because I am a life and money coach extraordinaire, we will unpack how these two stories play a major role in how we live out our lives either good or bad.

Our money stories have power, we need to be aware of areas that can derail us on our journey. Sometimes it is unforeseen circumstances and other times it is left to our own devices. It can be conscious and unconscious behaviour patterns that go unnoticed. These stem from what we believe about money, good or bad, how we view our identity around money, the shame-based stories that we carry around most of our lives from our experiences. 

Hope you are intrigued, we are here to inspire, encourage, empower, and equip you to live out your best life in all aspects including your money.

A model that leads to living a significant life, the live, give, owe, grow model applied to your money leads to financial wholeness. We then take this secret sauce and apply the model to life as well, why you ask...because we put that shit on everything. When something is this catchy, we need to implement it in many ways. We believe that all aspects of our lives are intertwined, and this model allows for simplicity to live out your money well and life so you too can reach wholeness in all forms.

It's a simple reminder to live within your means, give to causes that stir your heart, reduce your debt, and implement great tax strategies all while building your wealth for your future. In life live in such a way you would want others to write a book about it, give grace and compassion paired with your best yes. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to fully show up and continue to grow personally and professionally.
