Hey Reader, What if managing your money felt more like improv and less like stress? As a former actress, I spent years training in improv, where the number one rule is simple: "YES, AND." 💡 YES means accepting whatever is thrown your way—no matter how unexpected or messy. It turns out, money works the same way. A few months ago, I had one of the most interesting podcast conversations of my career with Joe Saul-Sehy, Rhianna Basore, and Tony Steuer, where we explored how this improv mindset can transform the way we think about finances. We talked about: When I was a struggling artist, money felt rigid—a set of rules I had to follow perfectly. But improv taught me that money is fluid, adaptable, and creative. We don’t have to control every variable; we just have to say YES, AND to opportunities, challenges, and even failures. I was so honored to be part of this conversation, and now? The episode is finally LIVE! I truly believe that saying YES, AND to the messy, unpredictable world of money is the key to wealth, confidence, and freedom. So, are you in? Listen now and let me know your biggest takeaway! Be profitable, |

Hi Reader, “I need momma,” she said with those big, soulful eyes. I was finishing a Zoom call and my 3-year-old daughter had wandered into my office. Every instinct in me wanted to scoop her up and drop everything else. But I also knew—I had a business to run. A business that pays the rent, keeps the lights on, and provides for the very child standing in front of me. So I did what felt like the hardest thing in that moment: I set a boundary. I pulled her in for a quick hug, but I said: “I...
Hi Reader, I clicked to review this tax return and winced. This new client started with us in February 2025. So while we can prepare and file her 2024 tax returns on time, we’re very limited in the strategies we can use to reduce her taxes. The year is already over. Which is why my face was now scrunched and unhappy. 😬 This client’s tax bracket was 24%. In the US, you pay different tax amounts at different levels of income. If you’re a single filer in 2024: You pay 10% tax on your first $0 -...
Hello Reader, Back in October 2016, I was a starry-eyed—yet completely broke—actress. My love affair with money was just beginning. I had a business license, an online course on starting a bookkeeping business, and a 400-square-foot apartment so cramped there wasn’t room for a desk. Every evening, I’d balance my computer on my lap and shove the dog over so I could sit on my smelly, second-hand couch from college—less than 100 feet from the stove, where my husband was making way too much noise...
