or celebrated your financial success with other people?
- I wish I had someone to talk to about money
- I wish I felt more secure about the future
- I wish I had more time for me
- I wish I knew how to have a healthier relationship with money
Maybe you catch yourself saying something like...
when was the last time you talked to your best friends about money?
75% of people don’t have financial conversations with their friends.
Now, I'm a six-figure earner, homeowner, raising two kids, on my way to Coast FIRE, published author of two personal finance books, featured on CBC, Globe & Mail, and CTV, a certified Trauma of Money Practitioner, and consumer debt free.
But then I found people
to celebrate my wins with me
When I was struggling and in debt, I didn't tell anyone
All because I started talking about money
But without community, a lot of shame and guilt exists in the way we approach our finances. Most women do not have friends or family that they can speak to about money.
We'll talk about our sex lives and shopping habits before we talk about how much we make, whether we're in debt, or what we want our retirement to look like.
We should care about whether our friends are seeing the financial success they hope to achieve. We should hold space to open up to one another about our wins — and our losses.
Society teaches us to keep money individual and secret, but we do not benefit from this. We only suffer. And we deserve so much better.
money is less about the numbers and the math, and more about the emotions and feelings.
less math
more feelings
Next week, I will have my last loan paid off. Although I was extremely nervous to share my debt story, you were so easy to chat with and made me feel very secure and normal. I don't understand why we are made to believe that talking about money has to be so private.

But now, I never let the shame win. Today, I don't need to add up every item I put in my grocery cart. I don't waste mental energy doing mental accounting. And I don't feel shame for buying the damn latte. Instead, my money goes toward the things that bring me joy, that light me up and that reduce my anxiety. If I need to book an emergency flight to visit a friend, I do. If I want to spend money on an item that isn't a need, I do.
Talking about money, building a solid foundation for my finances and creating a world where it's normal to strive for more allows me to be present. And I want the same for you.
i used to think it was silly to daydream about the life i wanted to live and the money i needed to have in order to achieve that experience
Because it's time to learn what we can and cannot control.
Anxious girlies unite!

Seeing another woman talk about paying off debt and still being able to live inspired me. Huge thank you for opening up a platform for women who sometimes need another woman's perspective
