Hello Reader, Once upon a time, I was an artist who turned herself into an accountant. But I don’t know if I ever told you the full story… I thought if I could figure out how money worked, I could help a lot of people. Everyone's stressed about money, in every industry, at every income level. Naively, I thought some financial education would help, and I'd fix everything. So I taught myself corporate accounting, and I was pretty damn good at it. As my business grew, I could tell I was making a difference for my clients. We were helping them achieve their goals, and I knew I was a valued part of the team even though I was just presenting their bookkeeping and helping them with their tax filings. But I had a smaller group of clients that kept me up at night. No matter how their external circumstances changed, their experience with money stayed chaotic. Always profitable on paper but not in the bank account. It occurred to me there was something else about how money works that I hadn't figured out yet. So I got curious. I asked myself: why do I love money? Why do I do what I do? Turns out it's because I'm still in rehearsal every day. As an actress, I had decades of experience translating abstract concepts into something people could not only follow along with, but also really feel on a deep level. I decided to start using my storytelling training with my clients, and it worked even better than I expected. All of a sudden, those chaotic experiences started to untwist bit by bit. What I do with my clients now? It’s exactly the same thing. Every day I get to go behind the scenes of a business and use that storytelling experience to help my clients uncover their money stories and get their chaos under control. Look, whether you know it or not, every decision is a financial decision. That’s true in business and in your everyday life. As business owners, we send our leaders out to make high-stakes calls completely unequipped, because they've never examined their own money stories. If you do not know your own default reaction to money, you are going to make every situation harder. If we don't get the story right first, then the data doesn't matter. You won't know how to read and receive it, because you'll be too entangled in your story. And without a clear story and clear data, your money map is nonsense. That's why my methodology starts with uncovering your Money Story, then developing your Money System, and finally creating your Money Map. We do the work this way so you can show up as the leader, the boss, and the resource your clients need, without dragging unconscious chaos into the room with you. Curious about the method?

Hello Reader, I have tried literally every version of healthcare under the sun. I have paid out of pocket. I have used health share arrangements. I have provided my own health insurance through my company. I have been on my spouse’s health insurance. And I really have to pay attention to healthcare costs. My family and I have had 8 emergency room visits in the last 8 years. Multiple hospital admissions. True life-threatening situations. My husband is dealing with a chronic illness, and I’ve...
Hello Reader, On average, I travel eight weeks every year. Some of it is work, some of it is for fun and honestly, most of it is both. I’ve even been known to fly across the country to attend an event simply because a client was going to be there, and there’s nothing like meeting face-to-face when you can. Beyond the connections, the hugs, the breakthroughs… there’s another big benefit: tax deductions. Airfare, hotels, rental cars, meals: when you travel for business, a lot of your expenses...
Hello Reader, The number one mistake I see self-employed parents making? Gifting your kids money. Now you can do this without triggering gift taxes. The gift tax exclusion is up to $19,000 in 2026. But, what if I told you there was a way that you could pay your kids up to $16,100 a year AND get a tax deduction on it? Plus, your kids won't pay taxes on it either? You can pull this off by putting your kids on payroll. If you own your business as a sole proprietor (or with your spouse), you can...
