money wins: it’s not about the price tag


One of my patients told me she pays over $700 for a monthly injection of a medication that her insurance would cover if she chose to take the pill version instead. However, that would be a pill every day or multiple times a day, and she simply doesn’t want to do that.

Money buys you options, and that’s what I want for you. Not specifically to buy expensive medication, but to give yourself options.

🧠 Mindset Shift of the Week

Money stress isn’t just in your head. It can mess with your sleep, mood, and even your health. If you’ve ever felt anxious or overwhelmed thinking about your finances, you’re not alone. But I just want you to know, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

😔That’s a little heavy. To lighten the mood a bit, here’s a funny take on money stress we can all relate to.


💡 Smart Saving Tip

Saving more doesn’t have to mean cutting out everything you enjoy. A percentage-based budget helps you decide ahead of time how much to save, spend, and enjoy guilt-free. This short video on how to afford anything demonstrates the effect of this method in practice.


📉 Debt-Free Game Plan

Side hustles and overtime can help pay off debt faster, but not if they leave you drained. Start by choosing ways to earn that fit your energy, schedule, and skill set. Freelancing is a great start.

The Smart Money Bundle is coming this June with tools to help you increase your income without burning out. Keep an eye out!


📈 Investing Made Simple

Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs—what does it all mean? Knowing your options helps you make smart choices based on your goals and risk comfort. ETFs vs. Mutual Funds breaks down two of the most common choices in a super beginner-friendly way.

Upcoming Events

Sometimes we get stuck trying to “figure it out" but creativity doesn’t need a roadmap. It just needs a little room to breathe.

I recently dropped my phone and cracked it. The Samsung store said the motherboard was damaged, so buying a new one was unavoidable. I’ve had this phone since 2020, and I wasn’t ready to start over. *Cue the Graduation song by Vitamin C* Shopping around shocked me. The latest model was $1,200–$1,400, and things like SD card slots are gone. So I went back to what I used to do: I checked eBay and got the previous model for $724.50. Good camera, less cost, and no regrets. The lesson? Take your...

I’m getting ready to head to Portland for FinCon, the big conference for personal finance creators, coaches, and money enthusiasts. I was feeling fine until the airline reminder popped up, and my anxiety instantly kicked in. While I’m a confident and self-assured woman, I'm also an introvert. Walking into a room full of people can be...no IS terrifying. Last year, I found a way to make it work. I scheduled one-on-one meetups through the conference app with people I wanted to connect with,...
