“I’ve had to navigate the complicated jargon of the financial world and feelings of shame and embarrassment because I didn’t know basic money principles. Everything felt confusing on purpose, like I didn't deserve to be financially self-sufficient. But I worked through it. I asked a lot of questions. I had difficult conversations with loved ones that made me realize I was blaming others for my money problems and expecting to be rescued. Eventually I turned my life around. Never again would I plan my financial future around promises, expectations or assumptions. Today, my life’s passion is to help others overcome their fears and be financially self-sufficient.”
