When I graduated from nursing school in 2011, I knew next to nothing about managing money. I paid my bills, spent the rest, and hoped for the best. That was the extent of my financial strategy. It wasn’t until 2018 that I started listening to personal finance podcasts. Suddenly, I was hearing words and concepts I had never come across before, like sinking funds, debt-to-income ratio, and index funds. At first, it felt like learning a new language. But the more I listened, the more I started to understand. And once I understood, I started making better financial decisions. These decisions helped me save more, invest smarter, and feel in control of my money. That’s why I created Fluent in Finances, a free 4-week email challenge. Because I don’t want it to take you years to learn the money concepts that can change your financial future. What is Financial Literacy?Financial literacy is simply understanding how money works. This allows you to earn it, save it, invest it, and use it wisely. Studies show that people with strong financial literacy skills are less likely to struggle with debt, more likely to build wealth, and feel more secure about their future. The problem? Most of us were never taught these things. And when we try to learn, we’re met with jargon, complicated explanations, or advice that assumes we already know the basics.
That’s Where Fluent in Finances Comes In.Starting March 31, if you choose to join, you’ll receive an email every weekday covering a key financial term. Each term is explained in simple, relatable language, with resources in multiple formats (audio, video, blog posts, and social media examples) so you can learn in a way that works best for you. By the end of this challenge, you’ll: It’s completely free because I believe this is knowledge everyone should have. A year from now, you could be making financial decisions with confidence instead of confusion. But it starts with understanding the language of money. Let’s do this together.

“I’m tired of going backwards.” A client said that to me recently, and it stuck with me because I know how many people feel the same way but don’t always say it out loud. You’re paying bills, making decent money, and still feel like every step forward gets erased by the next expense. It’s exhausting. If that sounds familiar to you Reader, I want you to know this isn’t a personal failure. It’s usually a sign that you don’t have the right system in place yet. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to...
On a recent call, a client shared something I hear all the time. She wanted to use every extra dollar to pay off debt. But at the same time, she really wanted savings, too. That push and pull is such a common money struggle. Do I knock out the debt faster, or do I build a cushion so I can breathe? Both goals make sense. And when there’s no clear plan, it can feel like you’re doing the “wrong” thing no matter what you choose. This is where having a strategy matters. Money decisions stop...
Money stress doesn’t always show up as panic.Sometimes it looks like quiet worry.Or feeling like you should have this figured out by now. If that sounds familiar, I want you to hear this: You’re not the only one who’s had to learn money the hard way. BUT...you don't have to keep doing it the hard way. That’s why I want to share a podcast episode I recorded with career coach Nicole Gwanzura. Not interested in receiving Friday Freebie gifts, but still want to get other emails from me? No need...
