As a bit of a swear-y sailor, these are my people.

I’m at a conference this week for financial advisors who didn’t fit the sales-heavy, big company, suit-and-tie world. It’s the only advisor conference I’ve gone to in my fifteen (15!!) years of working in this industry where there might be a line to use the ladies restroom. The thinking is just different here, in the best way possible.

Skip the money rules made for the late 1900s. Get the ones that actually apply to your life.

Follow for more personal finance, minus the lecture.

We have a relationship with money just like we have a relationship with people. That’s how important it is to our brains.

Some of us are avoidant. Some of us are anxious. Some of us are thriving and don’t even know why.

Swipe through and find your era and if it stressed you out a little, that’s actually a really good sign you’re ready for a change (not a bad one, I promise).

I help millennial women build a money relationship that actually feels good.

You don’t need the “right” budgeting method. You need YOUR method — the one that survives in your actual world, not the pretend-disciplined version of you.

Don’t know what that looks like yet? That’s literally what I’m here for. Let’s build you a saving system you’ll actually stick to.

You know that feeling when you make decent money but still feel broke? When you see everyone else seemingly thriving while you’re stressed about finances? You’re not alone.

29% of Americans experience this distorted relationship with money, and for Gen Z, it’s 43%. Social media has created a comparison trap that’s literally rewiring our brains.

The solution isn’t making more money - it’s changing your relationship with money. Start by unfollowing accounts that make you feel bad about your life. Focus on YOUR goals, not theirs.

This is what I like to call going from Broke(ish) to Bougie.

Your financial journey is valid, regardless of what you see online.
