Smoothie sipper, nervous system expert, forever teacher at heart — and believer that money should feel emotionally safe, easeful to receive, and joyful to enjoy
ONCE UPON A TIME
No matter what I did, it was never enough. I could make more, achieve more, push harder, and yet I still didn’t feel worthy. Working my tail off was the only way I knew to prove myself, the only way I thought I could earn my worth and be seen as enough.
In my mind, success equaled worthiness. But the reality was that it only led to burnout, exhaustion, and still feeling broke— even if I wasn't.
I realized the problem was never how much I earned or how hard I worked. It was the patterns underneath, the nervous system stuck in survival mode, the belief that hustle was the only way to feel worthy, and the guilt that made it impossible to truly enjoy what I had.
What women really need isn’t more strategy or another mindset hack. They need to feel emotionally safe with money, to expand their capacity to receive, and to release the old patterns that keep them overworking and undercharging.
That’s the work I do today. I help ambitious women step out of survival mode and create a steady, spacious relationship with money — one where worthiness isn’t up for debate, and wealth finally feels easeful, empowering, and yours.
Most at home by the water...usually at my lake cottage with tea in hand.

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
I’m happiest by the water. My lake cottage is my soul’s reset button.
Former teacher at heart — I once taught first graders, and I still believe in their kind of magic.
I’m convinced nature is the best wealth there is — lake mornings, mountain air, and sunsets always win.
Tea is my love language. Smoothies come in a close second.
