Hi! I'm Prisca, money coach for professional Millenial women

money wins: it’s not about the price tag

Published about 1 year ago • 3 min read

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.

Thanks for letting me be part of your financial journey. Which section was your favorite this week? Hit reply and let me know—I love hearing from you!

Eager to see you thrive,

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "I just need to make more money," before you can finally start saving, investing, or getting ahead? The truth is, you don’t need a massive salary jump to build real wealth. You do need to be intentional with the income you have.

I'm teaming up with money mentor Magan Outlaw for a free live session on July 29, 2026 at 6 PM ET called More Money Without a Raise? How Intention Builds Wealth. Two money coaches with completely different money backgrounds, but the same result: real wealth built before ever earning more. We’re having an honest conversation breaking down the exact shifts, tests, and guardrails that actually move the needle.

Last week I was scrolling and landed on a post from another creator where he was sharing the difference between when someone invests just enough to get the match at work and another maxes it out. One comment caught my attention. NO ONE? Now, I usually don't engage with commenters like this but it was important to me that people knew the truth. I replied that I max out my retirement and I don't make multiple six figures. Of course, I didn't change his mind but that was never the point. I made...

I just spent close to $500 at the mechanic this weekend. It was time for routine maintenance, and during the inspection it was found that my brake and fuel injection fluid needed replacing. Not fun to pay for, but not optional either. Safety isn't a line item you skip. Here's the part that made me smile. You might remember back in April I told you about the day my tire went flat and the shop tried to talk me into replacing all four tires for $700 plus. I walked away, sat in my car, and...
