Understand your money. Have real options.

Wealth education for women, grounded in real life and personal finance systems that last.

Free 2026 Investing Guide

There’s no shortage of money advice online. Very little of it acknowledges real life.

Real life is messy, and the economy isn’t always predictable, so I focus on clear explanations and money systems that still work when things aren’t perfect.

Hi! I’m Tess.

I’m an Accredited Financial Counselor®, investing educator, and end-of-life planning enthusiast.

I’m on a mission to simplify money and investing so you can retire comfortably and spend more time on things that actually matter to you.

These days I’m a seasoned investor, with decades of experience investing in the stock market, real estate, syndications, crypto, and businesses.

But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. In my 20’s I made big investing mistakes that cost me thousands that could have easily been avoided with basic education anyone can understand.

Now I’m on a mission to help you avoid my big mistakes and take control of your financial future.

  • "I thought retirement was something that other people get..."

    Since I took your free class and started reading your newsletter 4 years ago, I’ve gone from 0 to $100,000 invested. All with automated investing into simple funds. At the rate I’m going I could retire a millionaire and knowing I will 100% be able to retire at some point is life changing.

  • “It’s so simple, easy, and informative.

    It’s been 3 weeks and you’ve already helped me open up my own Roth IRA, learn how to pick my own smart investments, transfer my 401k so I can get rid of fees, and start a plan for future investment properties and project out an ENTIRE system to reach my 4 million goal for retirement (or more!) It’s cray how little I know about investing and how much help I needed from someone who CARES and is willing to help, so thank you! Forever grateful I decided to reach out.”

  • "Everyone should have this kind of confidence and information about managing and growing wealth!"

    “I started off with a high yield savings account which has made so much difference in how I grow my existing cash. I took all the money out from my financial advisor and invested it all by myself in a Roth IRA and which felt very empowering! I have so much clarity and confidence now when it comes to managing, investing and growing my money and having a clear picture of where I will be in the future for retirement. I have learned SO MUCH from you, it's mind blowing!“
