The only person who can guarantee your financial independence, is you.
Financial independence isn’t something anyone can hand you and it’s rarely something you stumble into by accident. For most women, it comes from understanding how their money works and setting it up in a way that actually fits real life.
The financial industry loves to gatekeep… so I do things differently.
Today I’m a confident investor and built a 7 figure net worth by 35 as a single woman by investing in the stock market, real estate, businesses, and syndications.
But I didn’t start out with that clarity.
In my 20s, I made expensive investing mistakes simply because no one had ever explained the basics in a way that made sense.
The biggest mistake I made was hiring a CFP (Certified Financial Planner, a fiduciary, someone legally obligated to act in my best interest). I lost thousands of dollars in predatory financial products and hundreds of thousands in potential growth opportunities, leaving me with a healthy amount of financial anxiety, shame, and regret.
Every single woman deserves and needs a basic investing education.
Learning how money actually works and how to build systems that don’t require constant attention changed my life.
After realizing what a big mistake I had made in my investing journey, I dedicated my time to learning from books, courses, financial advisors I trusted, and millionaire investors and I learned one incredible truth: effective investing doesn’t have to be complicated — and, with some basic education, it can be done by ANYONE (even if you’re totally new to investing and short-on-time).
That experience is what led me to become an Accredited Financial Counselor® and to build a movement around clear, non-judgmental education that helps women move forward with confidence.
With 15+ years of investing in real estate, the stock market, and businesses under my belt, I love helping women take control of their money and their options through digestible and judgement-free education and stories.
You might already know that on average, women earn just 82 cents per dollar earned by men (for black women this number drops to only 63 cents).
You might not know that there is also a gender investing gap.
When women+ have lower salaries than men, and then invest less, our proportional net worth takes a massive hit.
Only 46% of millennial women (1980 to 1995) feel confident in their investing abilities.
71% of women choose to keep their assets in cash compared to 60 percent of men.
61% of millennial women report that worry about money has caused them to be emotionally or mentally unwell.
What frustrates me more than all of those statistics, however, are articles targeted at women telling them if they saved more by spending less money on lattes and makeup that they’d be wealthier. Let’s call this what it is: gaslighting! And it’s not helping anyone. There’s a better way to wealth, and I’m here to share it with you.
I often hear people say they are “bad at money” or “afraid of doing it wrong”. But personal finance and investing are just skills that can be learned… just like yoga, needlepoint, or riding a bike.
Thoughtful investing changed my life for the better. It has given me the confidence to know that I can retire comfortably (and early), the power to make decisions independently, and the freedom to switch careers multiple times in my life.
It’s time we get more money in the hands of women.
Because wealth is not just about being rich… it’s about having security and safety (the ability to walk away from a toxic situation is priceless).
It’s about having more time to do the things we love, with the people we care most about.
It’s about freedom, flexibility, and the ability to make a larger impact.
