About

I teach millennials how to pay off debt and gain financial independence. I give them the tools to have more fun with money, while sprinkling in a little weirdness silliness.

I’ve got:

  • my master’s in business,
  • my bachelor’s in accounting,
  • experience paying off debt ($30,000 in 10 months),
  • and a true “started from the bottom” story.

•  •  •  •  •

And when I’m not writing about money and creating financial plans for others, I can be found taking spontaneous road trips, reading in coffee shops, or mentoring other entrepreneurs.

I have a fur baby named Patrick, a large family with five siblings and have a partner in crime, Tony.

I love traveling and hiking, later finding out that I’ve tackled two of the most dangerous hikes (Kalalau Trail and Angel’s Landing). But my heart really belongs at the beach.

Want to be part of my digital family?

  3. I’m terrified and fascinated by sharks…seriously they outlived dinosaurs!
  4. I’m a huge homebody that caught the travel bug.
  5. I can do some damage on veggie trays, popcorn and coffee!

Automate your savings. I know, I know, broken rec Automate your savings.

I know, I know, broken record status.

But it’s crazy how many people don’t actually implement this tip.

Login your bank account or use your favorite savings app and make this happen (automatically of course).

Once you have that set up, come back here and comment that you did it so I can cheer you on!
Paying off debt is an awesome thing to do... And Paying off debt is an awesome thing to do...

And you can go at whatever pace works for your life.

There’s a huge misconception that you have to go “balls to the wall”, work every extra shift you can, AND do it all while never complaining.

That’s one way to do it. It’s not THE way.

In actuality, personality types and self-awareness is a huge factor when setting your level of aggressiveness.

✨For me personally- I function very well on short timelines where I can hustle my heart out and accomplish it quickly (so I don’t have to worry about it again). My debt payoff plan was very aggressive to pay off $30k in 10 months.

✨For some of my coaching clients- that doesn’t resonate with them. They want to make progress towards their debt and still buy some of the nonessentials even if that means keeping debt around for a couple extra years.

✖️Neither strategy is wrong.✖️

Approach debt payoff (and all financial goals) with a loooot of self-awareness. 

Being honest with your personality type and how you function best is a great way to not get burned out in the process.
The book I, by far, recommend most is The Power of The book I, by far, recommend most is The Power of Habit.

It’s one of those books that helped me improve my finances, relationships and coaching business.

No surprise, we all have habit loops that help us or hurt us.

#REALTALK:
When I was working a normal 9-5, I noticed I was spending a LOT more 💸 buying coffee.

When I analyzed my habit loop, I started to see what was actually happening.

✨CUE: get to work, open my email, get overwhelmed. Tell myself I need coffee.

✨ROUTINE: Walk to the coffee shop and spend $3-$5 per day

✨REWARD: Warm cup of coffee. Didn’t have to dive into email... yet. 😆

What I wanted was not coffee. It was avoiding checking my email. So instead, I was able to take a short gratitude walk in the morning instead of buying coffee.

It worked like a champ!

Look through your life. What is one habit loop you’re actively improving?

Use this strategy and watch your life change. 💕
