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, some of whom I ended up collaborating with over the year. That preparation made the whole experience less overwhelming and far more productive.

The same goes for your money. Progress doesn’t happen by accident. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your next move, a Financial Roadmap Call can help you see what’s working, what’s holding you back, and what steps will actually move the needle.

🧠 Mindset Shift of the Week

An emergency fund is important, but it doesn’t have to happen overnight. Seeing that 3–6 months recommendation can feel overwhelming, like “that’s going to take forever.”

Don’t let the big number stop you. The key is consistency. Even $20 set aside every time is real progress.

​Here’s how to build yours one step at a time.​

💡 Smart Saving Tip

What’s the best money you’ll ever spend? You might think of your kids, a partner, or someone else you care deeply about.

And while that’s true, here’s a little reminder: the best investment is also in yourself, building skills, knowledge, and habits that create lasting change.

📉 Debt-Free Game Plan

The “I deserve it” trap is sneaky. One minute you’re sticking to your plan, the next you’re justifying an impulse buy that wasn’t in the budget. We’ve all been there. The trick isn’t cutting out fun altogether, but planning for it so you can enjoy guilt-free spending.

This meme sums it up perfectly.

📈 Investing Made Simple

Diversifying your investments is one of the simplest ways to reduce risk. The good news? You don’t have to pick a bunch of individual stocks yourself. A single fund can do the diversification for you. That way, your money is spread across different sectors and assets, helping smooth out ups and downs over time.

💡 Here’s a guide to using mutual funds for diversification.
