A few weeks we took a vacation to the beach for the week of 4^th of July. I don’t know about you, but when the 4^th falls on a weekend, I feel like we get jipped out of a holiday or downtime from the “the grind.” It was amazing to spend a week with our besties, too. Although I worked every day, it was a different kind of work. New environment, which was awesome since I have been working out of my home office for over 4 months courtesy of Co-vid.

Every day we explored, biked,...

You would almost think the word budget is a four-letter word! When I say the word budget, what comes up for you? For me, I would rather run naked through a desert full of cactus in the middle of July then to write out a budget.

But as I have learned more about finances, spending, and the flow of money, I have also learned that when we follow a budget, we have the ability to actually know where our money is going and where we can cut funds from flowing too. Households that follow a...

You know how over “the holidays” all of those choices for sweets treats and drinks and parties… it all shows up on our bodies?! Tighter pants, waistlines that are expanding. Well, maybe some of you can relate. That’s why a new year’s resolution often has health goals listed at the top. It’s glaringly obvious what that compounding effect of extra calories appears as.

 Just like any successful business, there is a...

If you know me, you know I love to read. I have been inside of a book called It's Not About The Money by Brent Kessel. He's a fantastic financial advisor and had taught me something that underlying I knew but didn't know how to identify. He talks about our core story. We get what we think we deserve he says. He spends a great deal of time in this book talking about the relationship that we have with money and it's from our unconscious beliefs. Our core story came from how we learned about...

My favorite four-letter word is Hope. But I often see it overshadowed by the F-bomb: Fear. Decisions made from a place of fear or out of space of Love have resulted in some really terrible outcomes and turned out to be some dumb decisions! Fear and love are two very powerful drivers. But in times such as these, I see a lot of people making fear-based decisions. 

When your subconscious believes something terrible is lurking around the corner, you will make fear-based decisions which will...
