Last week, we wrapped the Debt Payoff Challenge. Over 50 women joined, ran their numbers, set real payoff dates, and built plans they can adjust when life… does what life does. It was such a joy to lead. I’ll run it again at least one more time this year, so keep your eyes open. On a personal note, I’m getting close to $500K in investments. That number didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of steady, boring, consistent effort. The past few weeks have been full, with podcast interviews, prepping for the challenge, and getting ready for summits. Busy in a good way. But it also reminded me how important it is to pause. I took a day off work just to have more breathing room. I want to be more intentional about that going forward. Big goals. Steady action. And rest along the way. That’s the rhythm I’m aiming for.
🧠 Mindset Shift of the WeekI saw a post from someone who said that after they started tracking every dollar, they suddenly had over $1,000 more between paychecks. Same lifestyle. Small income increase. Bills still paid. Nothing missing. So, where was the money going before? That is the power of awareness. When you track your money, you stop guessing. You start seeing. And once you see it, you can change it. This is the first step we take when you book your Smart Money Strategy Session. The finished product: a paycheck plan that allows you to spend, save, and invest confidently and consistently.
💡 Smart Saving TipIf you only track spending, you might miss the bigger picture. Tracking your net worth each month helps you see real progress, even if your budget is not perfect. Watching your assets grow and your debt shrink can be incredibly motivating. I use Monarch Money to track mine, and if you want to try it, you can get a 7-day trial plus 50% off your first year using my referral link.
📉 Debt-Free Game PlanSometimes the problem isn’t effort. It’s the plan. If you’re making payments but don’t know your payoff date, guessing how much extra to send, moving money around each month, or feeling unsure if you’re doing this the “right” way, those are signs you need a clearer strategy. A solid plan tells you what to pay, when you’ll be done, and how to adjust without starting over. If you want help building that kind of plan, Debt Payoff Made Simple walks you through it step by step so you can move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.
📈 Investing Made SimpleYou’ve probably heard about ETFs and mutual funds, but what is actually different about them? Both let you invest in a basket of stocks and bonds, but they work in slightly different ways. Understanding those differences can make investing feel less confusing and help you feel more confident about what you own. Check out this blog post that breaks it down in plain language.

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...
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Anthony Weaver on the About That Wallet podcast - and y'all, he asked me ALL the questions. My money journey, my worst money mistake (two cars in the same year... I'll explain), how I finally started building real wealth as a nurse, and the three steps that completely changed how I relate to money. I had so much fun recording this one. Anthony creates a space where the conversation flows naturally. If you've been following along here for a while, you'll...
